Hey there.
Any time I interact with Vortex in terms of modding whether it be downloading, installing, updating, searching, arranging, etc, my CPU usage goes to 100%. I have added the program to my exclusion list for all anti-virus already so I'm unsure as to what I should do. I am using the most recent version I do think, 1.9.12. A few months ago I was using a collection of mods with cyberpunk with close to 1000 mods and had zero issues.
Any suggestions?
