I get high CPU usage on my windows machine while running Cursor, this happens even if cursor is idle, tried disabeling many extensions but nothing worked, the fan becomes very noisy (utilization of cursor 20-50%), seems like this is a serious BUG
Hi @sadimoodi
Try this: CPU server usage - #2 by deanrie
this topic does not seem to be useful as no solution is provided, how to solve this problem? @deanrie
Open Process Explorer and take a look, maybe some extension’s using up CPU resources.
As mentioned in my post, i am a windows user, not linux, so i only have task manager and from there i cannot see which extension is consuming the CPU, i can only see cursor taking 15-20 % of the CPU, see image
These processes are within Cursor itself. Open the command palette and type what I have on my screenshot.
process explorer is showing me this, but the CPU% is zero for all of the processes although my CPU is utilization is high, how to know which extension is causing the high cpu usage?
Is your project/file large? Are you using linter extensions? Try disabling them. If the problem continues and you have only a few extensions, disable them. If there are many, try starting in no-extension mode with cursor --disable-extensions.
no i am not using linter extensions, the process explorer isnt telling me which extensions might be causing the issue as i mentioned above, i will try to use cursor without extensions but i think this is impractical, there is defintely a bug that they need to fix
Make sure this extension isn’t already installed.
