Kworker takes about 80% of CPU1 each time I boot the system.

I tried to do as explained in this answer. Here's the output of grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts:

I edited crontab adding this line: @reboot echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13 and rebooted, that didn't solve the problem.

After I type in terminal only echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13, CPU1 load reduces to zero and everything is OK until the next reboot or wake. Other ways of solving this problem don't work for me.

Are there any ways to disable gpe13 or somehow else reduce the CPU load once and for all?

Just add it to rc.local

type sudo gedit /etc/rc.local and enter your password.

Then, above exit 0, add this line: echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13 and reboot.

After logon, check that it is disabled with cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13. If it is disabled, it will return something like 305 disabled unmasked.
