Chrome operating system users are reporting an alarming bug in the latest static version of the operating system . Something in the most late update is causing the C.P.U. usage to sky rocket to 50 - 100 percent content on certain systems . Amusingly , developer think it may be related to checking the processor usage in the task manager itself .
This outcome appear to only be touch users on theStablev72 or the new beta and dev update of Chrome OS . According to a handful of complaint on the officialChromium blogas well asnumerouspostsonReddit , hoi polloi have found that Chrome OS on some devices such as the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate seems to be using all of its CPU , leave in report hits to execution , overheating , and reduced stamp battery spirit .
Google did not right away answer to a request for comment from Gizmodo but Chromium developer have acknowledged the subject in thebug report . Speculation among commenters traced the root of the problem to the inclusion of Android Pie . But thegrowing consensusis that the trouble go away away when the task manager is unsympathetic . One exploiter report that central processor usage returns to normal when running Chrome in guest mode , which does n’t support Android — indicate that there could be multiple payoff at child’s play . One Chromium developer put out a call for worldwide feedback that they afterwards claim back pronounce they were feeling confident the “ Task Manager problem is the main one here . ”
While this may be a pain in the nooky for some , the idea that this is a bug that only exists when it ’s being observed certainly makes it special . It ’s good to say a fix is add up but if you have n’t updated , you should contain off until one is stake .
