NUC 12 Pro - CPU overload

[Kozsla_Szabolcs]

Hi there!

First of all, I want to thank you for your hard work.

I would like to report a problem I’m experiencing with Roon 1 PC. Unfortunately, after a certain amount of playing time, Roon completely drains one of the CPU cores, resulting in a total load of 19%. The load persists even when I stop playback. After restarting the software, the load returns to the normal value for a while, around 1-2%.

I access the machine using the Windows remote desktop function. Could this be the cause of the problem?

Here are some additional details:

Roon 2.0 (build 1272)
Windows 10 Pro
Analysis: Disabled
Storage: (>4k music albums)
NUC 12 Pro Kit NUC12WSKi5
RAM: 32 GB
M2 SSD: 2TB
Gigabit Ethernet (LAN)

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

First, welcome to the forum…

Can I ask why you are accessing the PC using the Windows Remote Desktop? Is this a headless PC? If it is, then I would suggest that you use Roon Server instead of the full Roon package. Roon Server is better suited to this scenario.

Hi!

Thank you for your answer!

Yes, I know the best setup is to use the NUC as a server only, but I don’t have a good player at the moment. The NUC has a display, but browsing is easier on a desktop LCD display.

I will try to see if the problem occurs without using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

Thank you for your work!

Try Splashtop or TeamViewer instead.

I’m testing it without RDP for now. Thanks!

So far, the results are very encouraging. The error has not occurred since yesterday.

After launching the software this afternoon, the load was longer than usual, but CPU usage slowly returned to normal.
