I've just updated to macOS Big Sur 11.0. and I'm facing a huge battery drain and cpu usage probably caused by this "kernelmanagerd" process. Is there something I can do to stop it?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
I was experiencing the fan/CPU issue and saw a few responses mentioning Malwarebytes. A few years ago, an Apple tech installed a trial of Malwarebytes on my machine to clean up some issues, and I uninstalled it along the way. But - after installing Big Sur, I had the fan/CPU issue and started looking around for the Malwarebytes program. In all the basic searches I couldn't find it, not in Applications, not in any normal search I tried. My tech support SigOt ran a bunch of terminal prompts that uncovered a number of files in this folder path: /System/Volumes/Data/Library/Application Support/Malwarebytes. I had to go in using this path to delete the remaining Malwarebytes files, but it has resolved the fan/CPU issue!
I have same problem. I uninstalled malwarebytes but nothing changed.
what do you mean for uninstalling malwarebytes? how do you do it? malware is like virus right? can I ask how you do it ?
I uninstalled too Malwarebytes and nothind changed. Do you have any process ?
