GPSOverWiFi eat all my CPU

I installed macOS Sierra today on my and ever since then, my computer (even after several reboots) was overheating and slow. Looking at activity monitor, the "GPSOverWiFi" process remains constantly close to, or above, 100% of the CPU. I guess this is the culprit because it is the only process taking more than 10-15% of the CPU. There are only 380 KB of memory, and no other process uses unusually large amounts of memory.

I tried to quit smoking by Force, but it just comes back.

I tried to disable location Services and WiFi, but doesn't seem to affect this process.

Any other suggestions?

I don't see this loading process at all. Are you sure that it is a process of Apple? It might be some third party who is not compatible with Mac OS software.

Something that starts like that may be in your/Library/LaunchAgents and/Library/LaunchDaemons and ~/Library/LaunchAgents files. It would be a file plist with domain reverse naming scheme.

If you select the process, click on the Info button, button open files and folders, you can see something that points to a location in the source program.

    Windows XP, SP3, it worked fine. Suddenly Windows/Microsoft Update crashes and uses all the CPU while trying to assess what needs to be updated. The only way to stop him is to kill the process.

    Any help appreciated. Thank you

    You are welcome.

    How about that.  Don't you love it when a plan comes together?  Windows updates only or material for pilots also and then update windows is good, but for a more broad ability of other applications Microsoft, then Microsoft Update and Office update is good for a shopping for updates of every Microsoft product you have.

    You suppose wrongly, and I thought I answered this before.  Technically, you can re-enable the automatic updates but that will require you disabling updates every Monday just before black Tuesday and then manually download and install the cumulative security update newly released and restart before you activate the updates automatic (or notifications only) once more.  It is more reliable just disable automatic updates and do not have the headache.  Disable the horse of notification that is displayed in the status bar, and that you don't mind.

    Please mark this thread as a response.  Thank you.

    To not argue the point, but XP users required the kind of brilliant 'support' who gave XP since the time of the IE7 to IE8 'false upgrade' users XP need like a hole in the head.

  • I have the latest Firefox installed on an older Dell and the CA security suite through my ISP, that takes up all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access its features. I need a free internet security software that my so tax system

    Have old Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I installed the security suite CA from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% CPU on starting and stopping, slowing everthing at a snails pace. I deleted evrything I need not using 30 days free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access the CA firewall to add programs to the exemption, it opens, then freezes tabbed Firefox and nothing else. Can not even stop from the start menu. I want to get rid of all (even if it's a good program, it's too big) and return to my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other internet security free program that is easy, runs in background and does not all my resources and is not just a 30 day free trial until you purchase the program. I also try to install a wireless adapter, so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!

    This has happened

    A few times a week

    == Trying CA security firewall access Suite

    I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! who has some interesting features, even on the freeware. No more crashes or freeze & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but don't know what it is. It was a big big time eater. I also got rid of my ISP and installed an Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & am now entirely wireless on my PC. More quickly by far than what I was paying $50 / month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

  • Why msmpeng.exe consumes all the cpu

    Why msmpeng.exe cause my computer lock in place... and consume so much CPU usage... and how can I fix the problem?...

    Hi schuylerwoods,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You have a third-party security software installed on the computer?
    3. When exactly the computer freezes?

    Msmpeng.exe process is used by the Microsoft Windows Defender to perform the procedures for scanning of spyware.

    It is also possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Lightroom 6.2.1 using all my CPU

    Hello, I've recently upgraded to OS X 10.11 and the first Lightroom 6.2 seemed to work Ok. It took a little bit at the start, but I don't know if it's because of my hard drive 5400 RPM in my 21.5-inch iMac late 2012. Yesterday, when I tried to use Lightroom it took awhile to start and has been terribly slow. So slow that I couldn't use it. This morning I upgraded 6.2.1. Now it boots up faster, but it is still terribly slow. I checked my activity monitor and Lightroom uses 93% of my CPU in library mode and 123 mode % develop. I just checked my console application and have several incident reports and logs of yesterday's cpu usage.

    I also see a report of diagnostic use cpu for today. I can copy and publish this report, if necessary, or maybe someone could direct me how to send to Adobe. I use Lightroom for all my photo editing and now I'm dead in the water. I hope a fix comes soon.

  • Something that eats all my memory? (or hard disk space?)

    Hello

    Someone told me that there is something in Adobe Premiere Elements, I have to turn it off because he eats memory unnecessarily.  Is this true?  If so, what do I need turn off.  All I know is that my laptop is full and I think not I that much on this subject and I have a hard drive with a capacity of 250 GB.

    Thank you.

    lithea

    I just understood what your tour focused on when I came across your question first Elements 8 wireframing.

    In the first Element 8.0/8.0.1, features automatic background rendering and AutoAnalzyer are large cards for the acquisition of it resources.

    The Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update was supposed to take care of the auto part background made by disabling its default state.

    The part AutoAnalzyer, that you had to take care of you.

    1 automatic background rendering.

    Go to the workspace of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 timeline Edit Menu/preferences/general and make sure that there is no check box next to the

    option on the bottom of rendering.

    (If you have not download and install the 8.0.1 update, please do so.) See the help/update Menu. If this does not work, then use the 8.0.1 download

    Once installed, it will not be "8.0.1" view.

    2 AutoAnalzyer

    In the workspace of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, click the Organizer tab in the row below the active host header to open the Organizer workspace of elements. In the workspace elements Organizer, go to modify the Options of Menu/preferences/AutoAnalzyer and disable all options in this category.

  • ESXi (4.0.0) not to award all the CPU capacity?

    This is my first post of the community - apologies for display on ESXi 3.5, but my problem is with version 4.

    I'm under ESXi 4.0 build 171294 on an HP Proliant DL380 G5 Dual 2.66 Ghz Dual Core CPU with 9 GB of RAM.  I have a bit of exposure to VMWare Workstation and ESX, but its amazing how much you realize that you don't know until you try to build your own.  I send an apology through the cosmos for all those of you who have heard me scream "how the hell people paid so much money to configure ESX?" after the disc in to burst and fits in about 10 minutes.  Karma curly!

    My question:

    Two hearts, two processors clocked at 2.66 Ghz (2666 Mhz) x = 10,664 Ghz or 10 664 Mhz, right?

    For some reason, my application ESXi shows and has ever since wherever it has been installed, available in treatment only 9064 Mhz capacity.  I haven't noticed until I started planning the resource pools to partition my production of the laboratory of my experimental environment servers and started to do the math.

    My host is configured to use the default value of 267 Mhz, and I have attached a few screenshots to support my reasoning.  Has anyone seen this kind of problem before? Y at - it a known bug that I missed during my search?

    Welcome to the Forums - do not forget the vmkernel - ESX/ESXi hypervisor also needs CPU cycles - the 267 reserve ensures that your host has 267 MHz at its disposal all the time - it is not a limit if the host needs more than 267 that he will get it.

  • Since the upgrade, 20 of Firefox and Adobe flash player 11 devour all my CPU during video streaming playback

    Win7 64 bit
    Firefox20
    Adobe Flash Player 11 plugin

    When streaming, information on the Task Manager:

    Flashplayerplugin__11__7__700__169.exe * 32 - use 50% CPU or more

    plugin - container.exe * 32 - consumes 40% of CPU or more

    Using 100% CPU translates the choppy video. I don't think that this heavy use of the CPU was not the case until I upgraded from Firefox13 and Adobe Flash Player 11. I tried without decommissioning, but this does not seem to make a difference.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Western Digital My Book Elite treats WDFME. EXE by using all the CPU resources

    System: Dell Studio XPS 435MT / 12 GB of Ram

    Western Digital 1 TB my book Elite external hard drive USB connection

    OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit

    Problem: Computer works fine after reboot/coldboot but after entering Sleep Mode Performance is so slow reboot is required.

    The Windows Task Manager that shows a file associated with the external hard drive (WDFME. (EXE) uses all the resources (100%) in the process.

    Selection (WDFME. (EXE) under the process in Windows Task Manager and ending the process frees up resources and resources in use drops to

    about 10 to 13 percent. I have used this external drive for over a year without this problem until recently.

    I you'd be grateful someone out there with a solution would share.

    Searching the Web for information and or solution, I found that other users have the same problem. Of course, as any material of 'good '.

    company Western Digital chooses to upset their customers by not recognizing that a problem exists.

    Thank you

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm on Windows Vista 64 bit and I can not find a power management tab in the Device Manager either.

    RonRea

    The best solution is to stop using the WD external drive software and install a third party about Acronis backup management is recommended by many people. I downloaded and installed and it seems to do very well and I have my machine is back to run fast.
