Today I noticed a consistent load on my laptop, looking quickly at task manager noticed Mullvad VPN consuming a steady 15-20% of CPU.
It has never done this before, CPU usage was low enough to not be noticeable and a steady 15-20% is not since it boosts the CPU to its highest frequency and spins up the laptop fans.
I have installed nothing new, I checked Windows Update and there has been nothing since the 10th of April. I'm at a loss as to what has caused this sudden new behaviour.
Tried uninstalling Mullvad and reinstalling, same behaviour. Tried joining beta program and installed the beta, same behaviour.
Only slight difference I can make to the behaviour is to manually set the priority of Mullvad Daemon to low - this slightly calms things down but still seeing a steady 15% load.
Anyone else having a sudden issue or have any ideas what is going on?
