Background Process Load
« on: April 02, 2018, 11:56:25 pm »
I've recently upgraded MC23 to the latest version and since then my PC has become sluggish.  Even when closing jriver, Task Manager shows a background MC23 process which is consuming CPU resources up to 70%.  I ran this over 2 days now thinking it may be some new indexing but it does not end.

Hi,
There is no Anti-Virus installed.
I upgraded to MC24 and the problem persists.
I stopped the MC Server but then the MC app consumes a lot of CPU instead.

When I view in task manager, I see that the MC24 process is consuming CPU

What version of Windows? If Windows 10, the Windows Defender antivirus is likely running in the background and would likely need to be tamed for MC.

I don't work for JRiver... I help keep the forums safe from "male enhancements" and other sources of sketchy pharmaceuticals.

I have not done this in awhile, but I pulled up Task Manager the other day out of curiousity.  I was playing a 5.1 SACD-DSF file with on the fly conversion to 176k PCM plus bass management  plus Dirac Live EQ via the VST plugin.  Total CPU usage was in about the 8-15% range.  RAM usage was fairly constant at about 4 GB.

My PC is about a 4 year old I7 with 16 GB RAM.  Files are served from a NAS. I do not use memory play. There is a GPU, via which I was displaying these results as they occurred.

I am on the latest JR 23 - 32 bit, using Win 7 Pro 64 bit.  My Webroot AV/Firewall is always on by choice.

I have never seen any evidence of JRiver using excessive resources.

I was suspecting it is Defender but when I exit jriver, CPU usage falls to 2%
I also don't see any Defender process running in Task Manager
I'm running a i3 beebox with SSD and my music library is on a usb 4TB external disk
I've not had this problem prior to upgrading to MC23 a month ago
