Vortex and CPU issue

[KinnusKitchen]

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?

Hopefully some smart IT person or someone who had this issue before sees it

This isn't normal behaviour. Something on your PC is causing the CPU load. I'd suggest disabling any third party security apps and see if it still happens.

DOne did this already. The Virus scan seems to scan the files each time it downloads and both VOrtex and the scanner draw a huge load. When I turned it off, the Windows scanner did the same thing. All have been excluded though.

If it's only a brief spike in CPU use that's probably fine. The virus scanner is probably interfering with Vortex and/or the two apps trying to access the same file are causing it.
