I have a freshly installed 17.10.1 (amd64) , my cpu : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K , and when I'm running the htop command I see that the first thread is always maxed out (98-100%), although I don't see anything using that much CPU . Is this a bug or just htop messing around ?

cpu htop
Do you get similar if you usetop
instead ofhtop
? I also would suggest to useturbostat
to observe what is going on.

There is clearly something going on as You have 3 running apps (1 of which is the htop itself).

Well i found out it's a process called kworker (imgur.com/w9jBy8X) although it won't die when i try to kill it

No, don't try to kill it. Try to figure out what process it is associated with. (which can be difficult)
