The thing is how can I check WHAT inside Launchbox consumes so much CPU in idle. There must be some debug trick I can apply. Apart the fact that it does not make sense...imagine you have a couple of cabins at home that are mostly on...burning power on idle with no reason. Launcher, launches

If a Game Launcher on idle consumes 15% of a i5 11Gen CPU, it is not a Launcher. I am expecting some kind of work around or debug from the team.

Thanx. Here is another screenshot. No Malwarebytes loaded. I am kind of nervous

I am getting a very suspicious CPU activity while Launchbox is idle and even minimized. It also creates sporadic anomalies in my keyboard while typing in different applications I am a registered user. What should I check? Thank you

Beta 2. Default Theme. Getting this when I try to launch a game (in this case Retroarch)

Beta3 seems a lot better regarding my issue. I will deep dive into it and check logs + post video

thank you for getting back to me. i will do that asap

So no performance and boot speed improvements in this beta, right?

i3 9100F has no built in GPU i5 9600K has but I use the GTX 1650 Whatever the case, the result in both cases is an non operational system meaning...what is the benefit of waiting around 3 minutes to have your CPU settle in order to play a game? I repeat that the XML and stuff are loaded (slowly) in RAM and this does provide a very slow start but it is the CPU activity (40% on a 6 cores 4.3ghz CPU) for more than 2 minutes that is the let down. I feel Launchbox is bloated and this is the community's fault as well. We are all requesting crazy things and the dev team steps in to materialize them. As a result, we have a slow launcher. Launchers must be snappy. Launchox used to be snappy. I have uploaded the log, uploaded a video and still waiting for an answer. I am a registered user and a big supporter of Launchox all these years.

I have upgraded to i5 9600K to verify that CPU is not the issue. No difference. Slow boot and once loaded, CPU works for around 2 minutes while the data are already in RAM I am on dead end.

What is the best way to get an answer from the dev team to this?

Any hint on where could I investigate? Logs and video do exist in the first post.

Thanx. Auto Import is disabled.

Here is a video of my Task Manager while loading Launchbox. The CPU is used by different Launchbox processes for at least 1.5 minute after Launchbox has loaded! I am a registered user. Please help me get into the bottom of this because this thing is now unusable. Log is attached. This is the second attempt to load it so that no chance of things being updated exists. I have another thread waiting reply which may be related (?) Debug 2024-10-27 09-01-41 AM.log
