Hi.
I think I should be putting this on the support email, but I wanted to
mention it here tonight at least. I've got the latest jaws update. For
me on a Lenovo Yoga2pro running windows 10 build 10586, it's using way
too many cpu cycles. Jaws usually uses around 3 percent cpu time. This
latest one is using 23 percent or there abouts and causing my poor yoga
to run a lot hotter than necessary and generally wasting plenty of
electricity. If this can be reproduced by others than just me this is a
huge showstopper, this update should be pulled immediately and not
re-added until fixed. There is a small yes very small chance this could
affect the lifetime of some unsuspecting user's computers if they may
not be aware of this.
Now, having said that, don't everyone just assume if you got the last
update that just recently came out that you could be having trouble.
I've not yet had the chance to try to reproduce it on any but this one
computer of mine so if you don't think your computer feels hot then I
wouldn't worry about it. I haven't rebooted my computer yet since the
initial reboot that came after the jaws update either.
If you know you have the issue and you can confirm it by looking at your
task manager application, would you tell us as much on this list or at
least make an effort to contact support? Huge thanks everybody!
