Power consumption high

Using 2023.0.1 with Windows 10 home.  Is there a reason why the power consumption is so high?  My fan is running noticeably high and will not turn off until I close Profile.  Profile is the only thing open.  Task manager is showing 25% to 27% CPU usage just for Profile.  

Is it just my system?

We are having the same issue with high CPU and ProFile is taking up the most. Did deleting the those 2 folders help at all and will it delete the user's ProFile settings?

Okay thanks. I tried deleting those 2 folders but unfortunately it didn't work. When Profile is open and idle, it sits at around 1% but as soon as you try and do anything in it, the CPU jumps to 12%-15%. 

 

Anything else we could try?

you could try this..

 

1. Disable the static logs setting from the option --> Environment --> System, if its enabled
2. Clear log folder - %appdata%/ProFile/logs
3. Delete old expired licenses if any.
