Game taking up WAY too many resources on Windows 10

I don't know if this is been reported, but I play STO on a laptop, and have noticed that even with the option checked in Options within the game, STO still seems to take about 80% of my computer's CPU since Thursday's patch. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron (I know, not a gaming laptop, but it plays STO quite well on high graphics regardless) with these settings:

Intel i5 4200U 1.6GHz (clocks up to 2.3GHz)
8GB RAM
1TB Hard Drive
Windows 10
Intel HD Integrated Graphics 4400

As you can tell, minus my GPU, which runs STO quite well, I've got fairly good specs, and have NEVER had problems running the game on Windows 10 before, so I'm pretty sure it's an OS problem here.

    It REALLY spikes when I change a setting, and lags tremendously when I hit anything too. Right now...it's virtually unplayable, and didn't have too big a problem last night. This is really bad.
