This sounds very promising and exactly like my problem-great find Josh...now to just figure out how to get the cmd to run... 😝
Ok just did it and wow, yup! The 100% CPU immediately went down and the fans have spun down and HALLELUJAH!!! Sweet, SWEET silence! It is *exactly* like how he describes in his blog... https://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/oculus-rift-bug-power-plan-configuration/ ...down to the graphs in TM and it being pegged flat at 100%, and then dropping down as soon as the powercfg cmds were run! Pretty amazing to find a fix for a problem that fits and works so well! And from back in 2016 too, no less! The weird thing though is that I can't think of what it was that installed that would modify my power settings to do this (unlike in his case)...guess I just have to see if it happens again but at least I know how to deal with it now! Thanks again so much Josh! Sweet, sweet, blessed silence!! 😊 BINO -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joshua MacCraw Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2018 4:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] PC running at 100% CPU?
