Sure, but this might be a long post
First we examine this section of your log file:

This tells us that you're running the latest version of FAHClient:
version 7.5.1
This tells us where the configuration is sorted and if it is the default path or not. In this case, it is the default path:
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient\config.xml
This tells us if the hardware is laptop or desktop, this case is laptop based on the CPU model:
AMD Ryzen 5 2500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
This tells us how many CPUs you have:
CPUs: 8
This tells us how much frew RAM you have, on occasion, low RAM have caused WU folding issues. In your case it should be fine:
Free Memory: 2.91GiB
This tells us what OS you're running:
OS: Windows 10 Home
This tells us if you're running 32 or 64 bit system and yours is 64-bit:
OS Arch: AMD64
This tells us if you have any GPU in the system that is detected by FAHClient:
GPUs: 1
This tells us the GPU details:
Bus:3 Slot:0 Func:0 AMD:5 Raven [Ryzen vega 8 mobile]
Secondly, we then examine how your FAHClient is configured by this section of the log file... Do note that we look at the latest config which means it can be further down the log if you made changes to it once you started folding:

This tells me that the CPU Slot started FahCore with 7 CPUs:
Args: -dir 01 -suffix 01 -version 705 -lifeline 4860 -checkpoint 15 -np 7
This tells me that the CPU Slot was running at 6 CPUs, not 7 since 7 is a prime number which can cause domain decomposition (the WU can't be sub-divided among 7 CPUs so have to reduce the value to something better):
Calling: mdrun -s frame92.tpr -o frame92.trr -cpi state.cpt -cpt 15 -nt 6
So 100% means 8 CPUs used, thus, 6 CPUs means 75% usage which is what you reported and is correct. The variation from 75% to 90% is when the GPU slot writes a checkpoint, it needs to run code on the CPU to verify that everything is working as expected hence the jump in CPU usage from 75% to 90%
I would also suggest that you change your CPU Slot from 7 CPUs to 6 CPUs (or less if you want to reduce your temperature/noise)

Probably a bunch of stuff in there you don't need that I should have omitted, but as I'm not positive what's crucial and what's garbage I included everything to be thorough...
For future reference, the percentages can be removed as long as the WU was successfully completed. If they are issues, ensure you leave a bit of percentages before the issue to see if we can spot something wrong or not.
Old man wrote:...Now when I try to start it up I still have no access to the web control and when I bring up the advanced control it says "Client: local connecting inactive". I've left it like that to see if it would connect and it does not. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've checked my firewall and it looks like F@H is cleared to pass. So it generally doesn't seem to be working. But there's something else odd going on. When I pull up my task manager, FahCore_a7 is consistently using at least 75% of my CPU resources, often going up to the high 90's. That's great if the program is working, but I don't seem to have any access to it...
While we have discovered why the CPU was using mostly 75% we can't see anything in the log to indicate that you should have issues using FAHControl
For the WebControl, there's an issue on Chrome so please see point 7 here: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=32463
Do you still have issues with FAHControl or is that now resolved?
