Describe the issue

At times I observe an unusually high CPU load on Roon Server of 50 to 60% of the available CPU capacity even when “idle” or when no music is being played and no backup is running. The only thing that helps is to restart the Roon server or the entire Intel NUC.
I have no indication of what triggers this load behavior. Roon Server usually consumes a few % of the CPU capacity.

Roon also works perfectly during periods of high load, but the hardware heats up considerably despite ventilation.

Describe your network setup

Roon Server Configuration:
Intel NUC10i7FNH, 8 GB RAM, 250 + 500 GB SSD
Windows 11

Remark:
Before I migrated to Windows 11, I used the identical hardware for ROCK and ran the Roon server under Rock. There I observed a similar behavior lately (temporary heating of the hardware). This was the reason for the migration to Windows 11.
