Hello, I have configured the page quite the same as the documentation page (see attachment). Sorry, the UI is in french because I'm French ;) For testing I deactivated all external plugins ("Modules externes"), but no change noticed.
Hi, I'm French too, so your screen shot are fine (:-)))... Please disable the option "Activer l'analyze de reconnaissance faciale en arrière plan", restart digiKam, and try again. Best Gilles Caulier
Hello Gilles, I've tried what you say, but unfortunately, no change.
ok, Install debugView and use it as explained here : https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#windows-host Restart digiKam and reproduce the CPU idle. Capture the trace and CC in this file for analysis. Gilles Caulier
