Bug: High CPU Usage

[aaronsuydam]

Description

Within the last week, files has started to consume huge background resources. Regularly uses 30% of my CPU, often with one of the cores pegged to 100%.

Steps To Reproduce

Open files and wait about a minute.

Requirements

Files should have bascially nothing going on in the background, right? It's just a file system interface, it's not like I'm giving it a hundred tasks a second.

Files Version

2.4.62.0

Windows Version

Windows 11 Home 22H2 22621.1555

Log file

debug.log

@atxfjrotc thank you for the report, I can reproduce this on my side as well. Do you know when this issue first started happening?

[yaira2]

@atxfjrotc is this specific to the home page? It seems that the CPU usage goes down after navigating to a different page.

A fix has been implemented and will be included in the next update.
