For hours MusicBee consumes 20 - 35 & CPU

[stardepp]

I have a new desktop PC since one week, technical data here:



I Use MusicBee 3.3.7252

What could be the reason and how can I achieve that MusicBee uses significantly less CPU?

In the MusicBee folder

Code

C:\Users\stgru\AppData\Local\MusicBee\InternalCache

I cleared the cache and then restarted MusicBee, but that didn't help.

What anti-virus are you using? I wonder if there's something interfering with file access.

I use Windows Defender on my Windows 10.



My desktop is brand new, a week ago I put it into operation for the first time.

I had ADWCleaner searched, but he found nothing suspicious.

[psychoadept]

Huh. I also use Windows defender, and mb typically uses .5-1% for playing music.

Are you using any plugins that could be in effect here?

As well as the above, i suggest you do a brand new portable install with no plugins installed and see if it still happens.

[stardepp]

Yeah, MusicBee Remote for Android, Minilyrics Helper.

Ok, but how do I install MusicBee Portable and in which Windows folder?

Download the portable version, and install it in a folder outside one of Windows' essential OS folders.
Put it on another partition (drive letter) if available.
A partition on an ssd is much preferred over hdd.

I really appreciate your help.

I used a third software as task manager, uninstalled it and instead used the standard Windows task manager and here both MusicBee (MusicBee normal and MusicBee Portable) normally move between 1 and 4% CPU.

I used a third software as task manager,

What's the name of the now removed task manager?

[stardepp]

This is simply called "System Explorer"

Surely System Explorer did not work properly anymore, because this software was last updated on 22.04.2016.

Thanks. Based on your experience with it I wasn't planning on using it. I wanted to check the name to make sure I didn't have it in my archives of Task Managers. I did, but I deleted it.
