THANK YOU SO MUCH I play games on a MacBook so it’s hell to get good performance I bought a 20 dollar USB adapter and I never even thought that it would be the problem I changed the way my setup is and now my Mac is averaging 60% idle CPU instead of 10-6%
I just learned a lesson usb port overload thanks
How do I fix the fan issue ? Do I have to replace ? My MacBook Pro is old & heats up just by looking at it 😅
Great vid! I didn't think about the powered usbc adapter. Thanks! I just plug out the monitor when kernel task is going crazy. The macbook pro runs sweet, but only having usbc ports is trash. I hope the new ones come w hdmi ports too
found out today that connecting a monitor to the mac made the mac unusable
Interesting
Thanks a lot! Learned new things, very useful
DAAANG! its the dongle! been running back and forth God Knows how many apple advisor have I talked to, once I'm not using the USB C adapter on my MBP, the kernel task dropping out fast. Also, I was thinking getting external 4K monitor with the USB C connector, so as its projecting the screen the monitor will charge the Mac Book as well, do you think the CPU performance will be affected by connecting the external monitor with the USB C to my MBP? thanks again for the video Man!
it will probably affect it a little, but the more power you can draw away from the cpu the better
My windowserver is always over 90% and goes even up to 105% I can't do anything
my problem is when i plug in the macbook it starts to act slow and the cpu starts yo use 70 or 80%, i really don’t know why this thing happens
Hello,
I have a Macbook pro 2019 i9 overheating and kernal_task was eating up all CPU resources.
The fix for me was disconnecting a Ugreen multiport dongle, which was overheating like hell by itself.
Now I am using individual USB C to HDMI and USB C to USB A converters instead of the large dongle and the problem has been resolved so far.
Just go to the repair shop.
great vid ty it solved my problems 🙏
google chrome helper renderer and gpu could use 80-90% max of cpu...
How does the %CPU column relate to the "System", "User" and "Idle" percentages? For example, "Windowserver" is using around 80% on my machine, but it also says over 70% idle. I expected that a single process using 70% would mean that Idle couldn't possible be any more than 30%
Idle refers to the % left over -- so if you have 70% idle that means you have 70% of your total CPU to work with. The higher the idle number, the better your computer will run. system is the computer as a whole, and user refers to different profiles on the computer (i think...not 100% on that) -- regardless, idle is what you want to keep your eye on.
Just got a new macbook air m1 14inch and damn i hate this. WIndowserver using somehow 180% of cpu making my cpu at 80C all the time WITHOUT having anything open. Cnat do anything. When i restart it it works fine for like 10 minutes and then windowserver without warning becaomes 200% cpu usage and everything heats up.
Hi sir, when I'm using logic Pro x, logic Pro cpu meter show 8 cores, when 7 cores are running below 10% and only one core hiting to 100 logic says system overload and Stop running, and in activity monitor idle is 80%, what is the problem? Please help
try a restart? no idea, sorry
check the multithread settings.
My windowserver using to much CPU why is that? Can you explain?
Great tips! Thanks
You bet!
Dude my Kernal_Task was at 250 then I unplugged it and it went to 3 lol
My kernel task is high but there is nothing plug in
ii i think it can e that i have a hub with an external monitor, an audio console, a FHD video capture device, a piano control, a hardrive, the internet cable and a usb plugged in mi mac! no wonder... thanks! 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ ..... kernel..... task...... ... 😂
how about TRUSTD using tons of cpu?
Hey man. At random times, my CPU usage skyrockets whenever I’m doing heavy tasks like playing videos, motion images, screen saver, emulator, VS Code, etc
And my fans are very loud like the engine of a car. Especially the left fan. Do you reckon changing the fans will fix my issue?
By the way I use an external monitor with a dongle. But that’s not the real issue because the CPU usage be acting up even when I have nothing connected to my USB C ports. I believe it’s the fans.
thank you brother
I ended up fixing my issue by uninstalling Avast security
Never self-diagnose 🤔
hi, I reinstalled my macOS high Sierra on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and it’s lagging, I went on activity monitor and it says that the system is taking 95% and 5% on user. Please help me fix this I tried everything
try uninstalling high sierra. your mac is probably too old for the new OS
Great video James. My computer runs fan, such as speaking on Google Meet, not often but sometimes doing something more extra such as using another web tool along with it. The computer remains idle like 75-80% but yet runs fan. Is it something normal to run fan on such high idle?
are you on a macbook? they run really hot - just how they were designed - so that's why the fan is so active. so i guess it's "normal" for macbook fans 🤷
@@JamesBeauton yes I use Macbook Pro 2019 13 inch base model with 16gb ram
@@abirahmed1292clean the fans, absolutely made a difference on my mac.
@@vangelis_amg Thanks, I have sold that mac and now I use fanless macbook air m1.
I have a MacBook Pro, I hope you have heard of the game Roblox, that game literally takes 102% of my CPU usage. Can you help me why is this happening like i though macbooks dont overheat and stuff but still it takes lot of CPU usage. but i dont think so it should take that much. Any idea on solving it? and also if my idle is around 70 is it good or bad?
roblox just does that its cpu intensive
Remindd seams to be my issues running my CPU high and drains my battery and causes my fan to turn on as well. All i do is force quit and fixes the issue temporary but it happens all the time when i get on my macbook. Do you happen the cause of this? Its annoying.
I honestly don’t know the cause but it’s common for MacBooks (especially the newer ones) to do that. My guess is that they are being produced with the lowest possible specs to sell, so when you try to do anything CPU intensive (even just having a lot of tabs open), the computer has to work really hard to keep up-hence the fan and the need to force quit. Quality of apple laptops in recent years has really gone down :(
@@JamesBeauton ??? really?!
and who understands the names in the activity monitor?!
I’m running Minecraft at 300% hmm 🤔
might be time for an upgrade 😩
main thing you said was talking didnt show how to fix it 6mins waisted FML!!!!!!!
Here’s a fix I’ve learned-watch on 2x speed so you only waste 3 min!!!!
@@JamesBeauton lmao pwnt
You go way too fast. What spotlight are you talking about? I can't find it.
I did finally find it but I had to do a find search for activity monitor. I have 94.30% idle CPU so guess I am doing ok and also 8GB memory 4.12GB used.
Thanks I never even knew I could see my CPU usage.
Click on the spot light???? Demonstrate what you are talking about.
1:16 the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your screen is the spotlight search function
OMG long intro, skip to 1:20 to get to the actual video geez
thanks for the time stamp!
You didn't solve the problem, you only explain
this sucks
I know. I recently upgraded to a PC (windows 10) and my QoL improved dramatically. Apple products are designed for convenience for what *most* ppl need. Definitely not for what we’ve all had to adapt to over the last year. However some folks might not be fortunate or privileged enough to be able to spend $600+ on new devices, so they go to RUclips to try and diagnose their tech issues. And unfortunately, the diagnosis to their tech problem is often times to do just that-spend $600+ on upgrades and new gear. But that’s capitalism for ya. Not much we can do about it but try to get along and help each other when we have the means. It’s easy to be a pessimistic nihilist. But it’s perhaps more rewarding to be an optimistic nihilist. Sure, this sucks. Life sucks. Capitalism sucks. Shitty RUclips commenters suck. But at some u just gotta say heck it and have a good time 💫👌
@@JamesBeauton why capitalism sucks? what are doing without capitalism? are you outside?
