Serious system slowdown due to fileproviderd

HI there

This bug is caused by iCloud-Drive. If you go to settings and disable iCloud-Drive, fileproviderd should stop using up the system resources. Hopefully iCloud-Drive will work as expected in the next beta.

Then suggest running the application Etrecheck as previously suggest by @ a brody

The application is free or paid from added features. 

It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

Is your system nearing 85% capacity?

Are you running any system optimizers?

What does Etrecheck - the handy reporting tool for … - Apple Community

say is the condition of your Mac?

iCloud works fine if you have the "free" 5 GB account. Many choose to increase their size without realizing the upstream bandwidth requirements of maintaining a large inventory of files on iCloud.

Unless you have a Fiberoptic, or direct T-3 or better connection at a school, iCloud tends to work best on small accounts.

Consider this, the upstream of most cable providers is limited to 7 Mbps, which is less than a megabyte per second.

When transferring 5120 megabytes (5 GB) it will take more than an hour at that rate, and that's with a direct internet connection. Other users sharing a WiFi can often slow it down more.

MacKeeper by Zeobit, and Advanced Mac Cleaner have both been added to the App Store, and actually behave in ways of malware, in that are seriously system intensive to the point of destroying the ability of applications to launch, deleting cache files as they are being written, and eating up system processing bandwidth for tasks that do nothing but offer a placebo of solutions. Etrecheck looks for memory resident programs that you might not otherwise see, and reports their presence, and reports any potential adware that might have snuck in. Just because it is pre-authorized by Apple does not mean it meets the holy grail of being safe for your system. Apple's review process does not allow people who don't purchase software from its store to leave reviews, so negative reviews that come as a result of techs resolving issues from people who come to them, never get a chance to get broadcast on the store, unless a prior purchaser chooses to add the review.

I'm not questioning Apple's policy, just stating a weakness of the "pre-authorized" policy. I have been on this forum since 2000, and have seen many such software come and go. Etrecheck is written by one of our forum's frequent contributors.

Interesting - some users will download AV Software, Disk Cleaner, Disk Optimizers that are all known to cause many issue and are not needed but to download an Known Application to Trouble Shoot a Computer Problems is off limits

User choice and so be it

Should the user decided to run the suggested Application at a later date - we will be happy to have a look that it

Tend to disagree.

iCloud is an Apple Service and Yes, from time to time there are issues which can be verified by using System Status

iCloud has been working fine on for my 2 Apple Computers running Monterey 12.6 , 1 running High Sierra and an iPhone running iOS 16.0.2

The issue is not iCloud. I don't use iCloud.

Do you use any other similar service. File Provider is a framework that any similar service can use.

It is most interesting how some ( not All users) are prepared to download AV Software, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizers and other " Bad Actor " softwares that are know on these Forums to cause " Havoc " on the computer but to allow a Known Tool that is sometimes used by Apple Support themselves is a No Go.

Best of luck with this computer issue

Have taken enough of your time

Should the User ( you ) decide to run the suggested application at a later date - please do and we will have a look at the Report.

CPU capacity is one thing, space capacity is another. How big is your hard drive, and how much free space is there?
