CPU usage of MS Teams

[Bal_KS]

Is there a way of reducing the CPU usage of Teams?

Hello @Bal_KS  There is a similar post on our answers.microsoft.com tech support site that provides some suggestions:  https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/teams-hogging-memory-running-slowly/3a5ddd1a-...

I have tried clearing the cache, but it doesn’t make too much difference.

Disabling the outlook addin actually makes more of a difference.

Yes same here, in Meetings the CPU usage is very high up to 100% and the Teams client does not respond anymore or really slow @Bal_KS

I have been looking at this for a while and can only assume the issue is with either Electron or MS Teams code. The Teams app doesn't play well with some hardware setups.

I have a low spec laptop and everything is fine, my desktop is way better spec but Teams consumes CPU% when using Video.

I have updated all Teams shortcuts to:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "Microsoft Teams" /Normal /affinity 6 "C:\Users\your.profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Update.exe" --processStart "Teams.exe"

This command runs Teams and sets it to only use CPU Cores 2 & 3 (I have four cores).

I know this is not a fix but Teams was crippling my system.

I am waiting for MS to release the new Web based desktop client in the hope that it works.
