CIS Helper hogs CPU and PSU

Currently cis takes ~15% of processor power and power usage is very high.

No idea why CIS Helper (no idea what it helps besides increasing my electricity bill) service is doing that since no scans going on.

Latest CIS on Win10 64bit.

Hello friend @cuser , are you talking about this process?

If so, here on my machine it is not consuming the amount you informed.

Could you tell me which version of CIS you are using?

12.3.4.8162 which should be latest and it was gotten via software updater, other computer with same version but manual install (after figured HOW to get CIS re-installed) no any usage.

Sure thing.

No idea how long it has been hogging.

Hello, could you tell me if you are using any other protection software together with CIS?

cuser · February 1, 2025, 11:29pm

Yes but those are more passive.Yes you have said that CIS is enough.

Not that any1 cares but solved by doing clean install.
