Just to report back to all, it’s been around 4 days now and so far not a single high CPU usage issue even with VPN software and all other software back to normal use so it seems what ever the issue was it’s been fixed some how… If any one else is still having this issue it would be great if you could try the following one at a time to see what might fix it for you: (I’ve tried to put it in order of what I think might help best but keen to know any ones feedback if you are able to do one step at a time to try narrow it down to what the cause is)
- Download latest Plex Server installer and run a “Repair” on your installation.
- Update NVIDIA drivers (or graphics drivers in general, might be related to hardware acceleration?)
- Update Network Drivers
- Optimised Database, cleaned bundles…etc
- Change Secure connection settings on the server
GOOD LUCK!
