Macbook Pro 2020 high CPU load, fan going crazy

Hi there,


Hoping for some insight or help with what to do next to sort out my Macbook Pro.

For around a year or more now, it has barely been coping with light usage, let alone heavier tasks. The fan is constantly running very loudly, the laptop is overheating, and the CPU load of background tasks has been very high. The Macbook also restarts pretty much any time I shut it and walk away from it for a while, and uses a lot of battery both when it is and is not in use.


I took it to Apple a week ago who said there seemed to be nothing wrong hardware-wise, battery health is fine etc. They reinstalled the OS and told me to use my Time Machine backup to reinstate my data and see if the issue persisted, which it has.


I have run an EtreCheck report today after reading similar threads on here, which I will attach below. Major issues identified were heavy CPU usage (to nobody's surprise) and kernel panics.


Some of the processes using a high CPU % I have noted include:

  • cloudd
  • cloudphotod
  • MTLCompilerService
  • PasswordBreachAgent
  • photolibraryd
  • bird
  • unzip
  • XprotectService
  • fileproviderd
  • QuickLookSatellite
  • backupd
  • kernel_task
  • fileproviderd
  • contactsd
  • corespotlightd
  • CGPDFservice
  • mdwrite


Would love any and all advice, bearing in mind I do not have a lot of technical computing knowledge.


Thanks in advance.

Many tasks are running at high CPU %. My comput er’s fan is very loud, and the computer seems to be put under a lot of stress even if I only have a single application open or a single web browser tab. The computer is also overheating Major Issues: Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention. Kernel panics - This system has experienced kernel panics. This could be a sign of hardware failure. Heavy CPU usage - Some processes are using an unusually high amount of CPU. Minor Issues: These issues do not need immediate attention but they may indicate future problems or opportunities for improvement. Clean up - There are orphan files that could be removed. Unsigned files - There are unsigned software files installed. These files could be old, incompatible, and cause problems. They should be reviewed. System modifications - There are a large number of system modifications running in the background. Heavy I/O usage - Your system is under heavy I/O use. This will reduce your performance. Limited permissions - More information may be available with Full Disk Access.

Update:


The Genius staff member had also suggested there may also be issues specific to my user settings. Just now, I have tried making a fresh 'test' login user, and found that I still had some background tasks running at a high CPU load, but the problems were nowhere near as bad.


The tasks I still found running at a high load were:

  • lsd
  • MTLCompilerService
  • MicrosoftWord (when I ran it)
  • Safari (when I ran it)
  • corespotlightd
  • mediaanalysisd
  • Spotlight (this one was the most excessive)
  • mdbulkimport


as well as any and all websites I opened in Safari.
