What is Chrome Elevation Service and Why I have high CPU usage?

Hi Guys,

I have been having random CPU usage spikes in the last days. Upon checking task manager they have been linked to being something called Google Update Server or Chrome Elevation Service?

Can someone please shed some light on this as I cannot delete this as chrome is my main browser for years. I have tried updating it downgrading it still the same issue? Can a Windows re-install fix this? I was thinking there might be something wrong in the registry?

The file name comes up as elevation_service.exe something along the lines and Google update service.
