Hello Nikos, a malfunctioning widget could cause this issue.
A few years ago, I experienced this with "plasmoid-gentoo-sync-reminder"[1]. If it does not find the file "/usr/portage/metada/timestamp.chk", the CPU usage went up to 200%.
Maybe it could be related with your issue? -Ramon [1] https://github.com/burlog/plasmoid-gentoo-sync-reminder/issues/1 On 24/05/2022 22:20, Nikos Chantziaras wrote:
Anyone noticed anything lately with plasmashell? I think it started happening after Qt was upgraded from 5.15.3 to 5.15.4. At login, the desktop is very unresponsive and sluggish. Mouse clicks take over a second to register.The plasmashell process is hogging one core of the CPU to almost 100%. It only happens on login. Logging out and back in again usually fixes it.
