I am currently having a problem that prevents me from opening certain applications. When I do attempt to start them, they take up 19-25% (essentially one core) of my CPU in an attempt to launch that application.
The following is a list of applications I know of that do not start correctly,
and cause mysterious CPU load on my computer.
sai.exe (Paint Tool SAI)
raptr.exe (Raptr Client)
mumble.exe (Mumble VOIP client)
Last.fm Scrobbler.exe (Last.fm)
Some of these apps are not essential, but Paint Tool SAI in particular is important to my lifestyle and livelihood.
Here are some pictures of my Processes tab, demonstrating the CPU loads.
I'd consider myself pretty tech-savvy, but there's little documentation for this phenomenon and frankly I'm stumped. What do these applications have in common? Where should I start looking for solutions?
I have tried re-installing them, and I have tried rebooting my computer.
Up until now, if I had this problem, I could usually reboot and it would be fixed. But now, I can't seem to reboot my way out of this situation.
Please let me know,
Brandon
