Live 10 suddenly unusable with CPU spikes
Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2022 7:57 am
Hi folks, I've scanned through some older threads and it seems like a lot of people are having CPU spike issues.
I have a Lenovo desktop running Windows 10.
My issues started basically overnight in the first week of August.
Sessions that worked perfectly the day before now spike the CPU over 10,000%.
Why does the meter even go that high??
My main soundcard is a Scarlett 8i6 Gen 3, but I tried all my other audio options and it's even worse with others.
On the MME setting, it hit 43,000%.
I've run a CHKDSK overnight on this computer to fix any potential issues, no good.
Also ran antivirus and MalwareBytes.
Edit: I've tried running simple projects I previously created too.
One with four tracks, only one of which has plugins, and two Return tracks peaks over 100% before I even press play.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!
