What is mds_stores ?
Ever since the Monterey macOS update upon signing in to my MacBook Pro (2018) with Touch Bar. It goes up to approximately 600% for a minute or two & the computer gets SO HOT & sometimes the fans turn on & then it slows my computer down (still does it if I restart) macOS 12.1

Hi jasonflying,
Thanks for the clarification. So you're talking about a process in Activity Monitor.
The "mds_stores" process would be from Spotlight. Spotlight is the name of the search function on Mac (the magnifying glass on the right side of the menu bar at the top of the screen.
If this process is using a large amount of the CPU, you'll want to reindex Spotlight with these steps: Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac
Take care!
Thank you for this update, I truly appreciate it.
