Version 13.26. CPU on 15% while Launchbox is idle (Windows 10)

[Wally]

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

What are the 6 sub processes it has going?  Idle, it should have only 2.  In the past (and may have been a long time ago), I've seen 4. But never 6.

An aside, MalwareBytes may not be helping any.

Thanx.

Here is another screenshot. No Malwarebytes loaded.

I am kind of nervous

This seems normal (I guess?) Here is my screenshot :

Although I don't know why there has to be 2 CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess running and 2 LaunchBox processes at the same time.
I am in an super-potato pc with intel i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz, RAM 4,00 GB, running LaunchBox from an external samsung SSD 870 QVO

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.

Below is a screenshot from a new Installation (v13.26) with everything untouched just after installation.
No extra plugins, No games, No nothing. Installed this time in a internal SSD.

i5 12400 win11, goes from 10% on startup down to between 1-4%

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

Can anyone explain why some of us have 2 sub-processes running while others have 4?
The 'CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess' has something to do with Chromium (in third party folder) and perhaps it is supposed to be active at certain occasions (start-up or when viewing manuals is my guess).

@WallyPerhaps by checking your custom/extra plug-ins (if you have any other than those LaunchBox comes with), the other thing that probably consumes cpu usage/Ram is the theme, the music player, the auto-import process, the save management, the game progress automation (not so sure about that). Apart from that I don't know what else we as users can do to "debug".

I post below a screenshot from my other PC Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz, RAM 8,00 GB, AMD Radeon (TM) R7 370 Series (2 GB)

The same goes here as well:
New Installation (v13.26), No extra plugins, No games, No nothing. Installed in a internal SSD.

The 2 'CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess' sub-processes stay there for ever...
This time I've also disabled every automation options.
