THANK YOU SO MUCH I play games on a MacBook so it’s hell to get good performance I bought a 20 dollar USB adapter and I never even thought that it would be the problem I changed the way my setup is and now my Mac is averaging 60% idle CPU instead of 10-6%

This is awesome

google chrome helper renderer and gpu could use 80-90% max of cpu...

Dude my Kernal_Task was at 250 then I unplugged it and it went to 3 lol

omg dr b nice locks

My windowserver using to much CPU why is that? Can you explain?

Thanks a lot! Learned new things, very useful

This is one of those pieces where i am extremely impressed by anyone who can perform it, but do not like at all

Hey man. At random times, my CPU usage skyrockets whenever I’m doing heavy tasks like playing videos, motion images, screen saver, emulator, VS Code, etc And my fans are very loud like the engine of a car. Especially the left fan. Do you reckon changing the fans will fix my issue?

how about TRUSTD using tons of cpu?

You didn't solve the problem, you only explain

Never self-diagnose 🤔

my problem is when i plug in the macbook it starts to act slow and the cpu starts yo use 70 or 80%, i really don’t know why this thing happens

Hello Dr. Beauton, this is a student from your orchestra class, someone has found this account and is passing the information around. Just letting you know!

Useless video

Hello, I have a Macbook pro 2019 i9 overheating and kernal_task was eating up all CPU resources. The fix for me was disconnecting a Ugreen multiport dongle, which was overheating like hell by itself. Now I am using individual USB C to HDMI and USB C to USB A converters instead of the large dongle and the problem has been resolved so far.

thank you brother

great vid ty it solved my problems 🙏

My kernel task is high but there is nothing plug in

How do I fix the fan issue ? Do I have to replace ? My MacBook Pro is old & heats up just by looking at it 😅

and who understands the names in the activity monitor?!

found out today that connecting a monitor to the mac made the mac unusable

Hi sir, when I'm using logic Pro x, logic Pro cpu meter show 8 cores, when 7 cores are running below 10% and only one core hiting to 100 logic says system overload and Stop running, and in activity monitor idle is 80%, what is the problem? Please help

OMG long intro, skip to 1:20 to get to the actual video geez

Great video James. My computer runs fan, such as speaking on Google Meet, not often but sometimes doing something more extra such as using another web tool along with it. The computer remains idle like 75-80% but yet runs fan. Is it something normal to run fan on such high idle?

I ended up fixing my issue by uninstalling Avast security

Literally dumbest video ever

My windowserver is always over 90% and goes even up to 105% I can't do anything

Great vid! I didn't think about the powered usbc adapter. Thanks! I just plug out the monitor when kernel task is going crazy. The macbook pro runs sweet, but only having usbc ports is trash. I hope the new ones come w hdmi ports too

Not working for the M1 Macs.

You go way too fast. What spotlight are you talking about? I can't find it. I did finally find it but I had to do a find search for activity monitor. I have 94.30% idle CPU so guess I am doing ok and also 8GB memory 4.12GB used. Thanks I never even knew I could see my CPU usage.

Just got a new macbook air m1 14inch and damn i hate this. WIndowserver using somehow 180% of cpu making my cpu at 80C all the time WITHOUT having anything open. Cnat do anything. When i restart it it works fine for like 10 minutes and then windowserver without warning becaomes 200% cpu usage and everything heats up.

Very helpful video, thank you James!

But how to send Streamlabs OBS audio to zoom?

Thanks man! So helpful! This video NEEDS more views!

DAAANG! its the dongle! been running back and forth God Knows how many apple advisor have I talked to, once I'm not using the USB C adapter on my MBP, the kernel task dropping out fast. Also, I was thinking getting external 4K monitor with the USB C connector, so as its projecting the screen the monitor will charge the Mac Book as well, do you think the CPU performance will be affected by connecting the external monitor with the USB C to my MBP? thanks again for the video Man!

Thanks a ton. That's all I needed... off to make my lessons more interesting.

I have a MacBook Pro, I hope you have heard of the game Roblox, that game literally takes 102% of my CPU usage. Can you help me why is this happening like i though macbooks dont overheat and stuff but still it takes lot of CPU usage. but i dont think so it should take that much. Any idea on solving it? and also if my idle is around 70 is it good or bad?

Nice job, thank you.

hi, I reinstalled my macOS high Sierra on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and it’s lagging, I went on activity monitor and it says that the system is taking 95% and 5% on user. Please help me fix this I tried everything

Click on the spot light???? Demonstrate what you are talking about.

How does the %CPU column relate to the "System", "User" and "Idle" percentages? For example, "Windowserver" is using around 80% on my machine, but it also says over 70% idle. I expected that a single process using 70% would mean that Idle couldn't possible be any more than 30%

I'm starting in doing live streams and my Mac barely can handle it but watching your video made me realize, I only have 2 USB ports, one connected directly to my capture card and the other to a USB hub with 4 more slots, witch I use all of them when i stream and my cpu usage spikes in between the 15-20% on OBS making my Mac to go slow, but today I did a test of live streaming and recording at the same time with only my mouse connected to my Mac by Bluetooth and OBS barely got at 4% or higher, that make me realize that maybe that was the issue i was having. I will try to use less ports or getting a powered hub and see how it goes, thanks!

Remindd seams to be my issues running my CPU high and drains my battery and causes my fan to turn on as well. All i do is force quit and fixes the issue temporary but it happens all the time when i get on my macbook. Do you happen the cause of this? Its annoying.

Thanks my friend you save my life.... Appreciate

Hey mate, I wanted to see if you got any solutions for game situations, yes I know mac sucks for gaming, but I only got one app that just really hates me, I wanted to see how to fix it and prevent anything wrong happening while am taking my time off, ya got any solutions?

ii i think it can e that i have a hub with an external monitor, an audio console, a FHD video capture device, a piano control, a hardrive, the internet cable and a usb plugged in mi mac! no wonder... thanks! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ ..... kernel..... task...... ... 😂
