I thought I had it solved, but it still happens. Only on occasion. But now I have also software causing performance problems and can't isolate. I have reinstalled high sierra twice.EtreCheckPro version: 6.2.5 (6C016)


Download EtreCheckPro from https://etrecheck.com

Runtime: 5:28

Ran another Etrecheck with activity monitor open. At one point showed launchd at 50%, then later system profiler at 66%. It also showed Etrecheck at one point running at 90%. No other large spikes in cpu usage. I have deleted an antivirus app, one printer app and one app cleaner . Recently install a print app for HP 2545 printer and tried to set it up for win but deleted the wifi setup. Don't know why Etrecheck shows 90% other cpu use and 20 MB network under other. In activity monitor network shows no high usage. Still don't know why I can open my Etrecheck report in this post, but no one else can.
