Many thanks, om Run xentop in dom0 to see which of your VMs are using cpu the most. Web browsers can use lots of cpu on some pages! Mike. fwiw, this morning I woke up and my system was at the qubes 1st login screen , apparently the system has crashed just far enough to close all VMs but not reboot? I am now looking at the Xentop CPU numbers and with whonix-ws update and one up to date torbrowser window 1 tab open and one page view, the CPU is at 150% Maxmem was at 2000 , up'd that a bit, but also changed the VCPU to '3' it was set to '2' and now the CPU with 1 page torbrowser open is at 5% I guess my question what effect changing the VCPU of the TB-AppVM-Qube is or maybe something changed with the whonix-ws recently to mess up the CPU usages??? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

And yes, it is using 150% cpu in the tor browser (using top in a terminal window in whonix-user VM), and about 170% cpu in xentop. (and my fans have come on!). All I can suggest is to close the tor browser when not in use. Mike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

There's https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4969. I have this sometimes too where it stays high, but closing that DispVM and opening another works around it. CPU is always high when first starting, but should drop down to <10% on its own. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
