High Background CPU Usage | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
At random intervals when I'm idling, I'll notice my fans seem to be running high for just browsing the web or simply browsing my desktop. So I check task manager, and Cortex is at the top of the list using about 10-20 percent of my CPU. I end up killing it and restarting Cortex; however, it can happen again during the same instance of me using my PC.

Yes, I am having the same exact issue. I have a beefy Windows 10 PC, 11th generation Intel i9 with 64GB of RAM, and Cortex always runs 10% usage on my CPU at IDLE
