Running the DevPod gui causes Microsoft Defender to consume large amounts of CPU!
What happened?
Running the DevPod gui causes Microsoft Defender Antivirus Software to consume large amounts of CPU!
Quiting devpod causes the CPU from Microsoft Defender to go back down.
What did you expect to happen instead?
I'd expect it to use little CPU!
How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)
For me it was as simple as starting the GUI. No running devpod pods or other docker containers.
Local Environment:
- DevPod Version: 0.54
- Operating System: windows
- ARCH of the OS: AMD64
DevPod Provider:
- Cloud Provider: docker
- Kubernetes Provider: NA
- Local/remote provider: docker | ssh
- Custom provider: provide imported
provider.yamlconfig file
Anything else we need to know?
Seems like minimusing to the system tray causes it to reduce CPU losd
Hi @Gaff do you have any special setup for defender? On my test machine this does not happen and I can't reproduce
ok - it's definitely weird. I don't think I have anything special going on. I'm using windows 10 and operating on fairly old hardware (i5-4670). Though I don't see how that's particularly relevant.
I see Defender Antivirus at 20-40% CPU with the GUI open and a workspace created 2-5% without. Seems if no workspaces are created there's no load - so check that?
If nobody else can reproduce then I guess I'll chalk it up to software-rot on my machine; it's certainly strange though!
Got it, my test machine is a plain W11 machine, maybe something to do with W10
Will try to reproduce :+1:
Seems to correspond with the visibility of the GUI. I must say there's a lot of process churn when the GUI widget is visible (pictured) that goes away when it's minimised to the system tray.
