Hey @twmanar

 

I'm pretty sure it was partly caused by Spotify fetching local files.

 

If it happens again, I suggest you to start a program called Resource Monitor, and under the CPU tab you should see which process is using processor the most. Activate the Average CPU column then, it shows the % of CPU consumption by the process.

 

Hope that helps 🙂
