Overview

If you're experiencing high CPU usage while running our software, here are several troubleshooting suggestions to help reduce resource consumption and improve performance.

Troubleshooting Steps

Check GIF Auto-play Settings: GIFs are an older image format with poor optimization. When auto-play is enabled, it can significantly increase CPU usage. Consider disabling this feature in the software settings to reduce resource consumption.
Restart the Software: Applications running for extended periods may develop resource leaks or technical issues. Restarting the program helps clear accumulated system cache and resolve potential errors, improving overall efficiency.
Create a New Library for Testing: This helps determine if specific content in your current database is causing the problem. For example, extremely large files or active videos in your library could be causing abnormal CPU usage.
Restart Your Computer: Computers that haven't been restarted for a long time can accumulate temporary files and cache, causing software to run slowly. A restart can clear these issues.
Disable Transparency Effects: On devices with lower hardware specifications, turning off the transparent frosted glass effect may help. You can find "Transparency Effects" in the preferences settings and try disabling it.
Check GPU Acceleration: Ensure that GPU acceleration is enabled. You can verify this by searching for GPU in the preferences settings. For Mac users, this feature is typically enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
