Cursor extrem CPU load in windows

Lately cursor is extremly high cpu demanding, even if in idle state.
Is this normal?

I searched the forum, there are other bug reports with extreme cpu usage, but they all where due to extensions.
I dont think this is the same. In the screenshots you can see there are no plugins that demand cpu. I even closed all editors.


Why is cpu load in Windows task manager about 4 times bigger than in cursors process explorer?

RAM seems not to be the problem nevertheless cursor crashes sporadically with error OOM:

but when i checked taskmanager after crash RAM usage looked ok:

So, when inputting text, the cursor freezes ervery few seconds.
Bigger problem is: every other tool call times out.

This makes cursor nearly unusable.

Am i doing something wrong? Do i have too big or too many files in my project? Or what could be the problem? Maybe cursor is trying to prepare updates in the background or something…

Hey, please check if your Shadow Workspace is enabled. If it is, try disabling it.

hey, thanks for your input.
its unchecked

Hi, if you have time to debug I’d love to setup a google meet and try to repro the issue and debug/fix.

since update to 0.46.8 the issue seems to be resoved
