Steam client still uses +10% CPU all the time

[Muppet among Puppets]

The normal steam client uses constantly more than 10% CPU even in the background,
after a short while.

Right after start it looks normal. But at least after opening friend window shortly, or just using the client a little, it constantly does that.
Preventing the MHZ and voltage to rest as it does with other programms in background.

I reported it quite a while ago. Steam should not do things like that in the background.

All features in settings were already reduced.

And constantly a lot of I/O reads and writes the whole time. +200kB/s

hello
No clue why you are posting here, it's reserved for beta beta branch not stable branch ...

Anyway may be there is something strange with your steam and/or your comp.
And may be use https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/ , i think it's better than the current windows task manager by many ways if you're on windows
Also do not forget that despite , steam even "sleeping" in the background is doing many tasks like verifying tjhreads you have subscribed just to see if there is new posts, checking you friends activity , game update, etc ....
But true, for your case constant 10% is a way abnormal...
ps; i also remember your pseudo ....

I use process explorer.
Steam sometimes has such problems, i just report them, where people at steam are reading about bugs in steam.

It does not need to use that much cpu while in background. And did not need when it didnt have this bug meanwhile.
