Total PT System Usage: CPU Usage at 100% with Nothing Running
Hello, and thanks in advance for taking a second to help.
I keep getting CPU spikes to 100%. It will bounce every 1/2 second between about 3-7% to 85-100%. This is even without a session open. The strange thing is that it's only the total CPU spiking, not the individual cores. Any suggestions for a fix?

Yes, but this is without a session even open.
These are the manufacturers. I could list all of the plugins, but that list would be huge. Has anyone tried the disable hyperthreading with good results? Air Music Tech Avid Izotope Sonivox Two Big Ears Waves |

On my system, disabling Hyperthreading helped immensely with spikes.

I've tested setting the affinity to odd, and then even cores, but I have the same results. |

Re: Total PT System Usage: CPU Usage at 100% with Nothing Running
Try setting affinity for PT to higher enumerated cores and leave lower cores unchecked. In My case cores 0,1,2,3 unchecked and cores 4-11 checked. Upping the process priority seems to do less.
It seems ( many hours with process monitor) Windows allocates itself and its aides to lower cores, yelding some sometimes long IRQ to execution times and Job queues in those cores. You might try the same for the process related to your audio Interface, if any. Further, IF ACPI is implemented try SHORTLY inactivate "Control method battery" . Your computer mfg will fiercly argue not to do that. Other things to try disconnect from internet Stop anti virus FZZ Skickat från min Moto G (5) via Tapatalk
