CPU over aktiv MacBook Air

Hi David,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're seeing "VTEncoderXPCService Process" using over 100% CPU and your Mac has become slow as a result. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. What happens if you quit the process in Activity Monitor on your Mac? Does it start up again immediately? Do you see any error messages?

"If you can't quit a process normally, you can use Activity Monitor to force it to quit. Save any documents related to the process, then select the process in Activity Monitor and choose View > Quit Process.

If you don't recognize the name of a process, it might belong to macOS or another process that you do recognize. To see the relationships between processes, choose View > All Processes, Hierarchically. If you see that a process belongs to an app, such as Safari or Mail, quit the app before deciding whether to quit any of its processes."

Which macOS version are you using?

Best Regards.
