Description
- VSCode Version: 1.42.1
- OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch VSCode.
- Enable Typescript and Javascript language features extension.
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?:
No, As a matter of fact I disabled all the built-in extensions except Typescript and Javascript language features extension and the problem remains untacked but if I disabled it no more loud fans nor overheat.
Also, I tried the code --status command mentioned here and I found that extensionHost is listed in the output and as they stated
When the process listing in the Process Explorer or the output of code --status shows that the extensionHost is consuming a high percentage of CPU then this is likely caused by an extension.
Finally, I monitored the CPU usage % while running VSCode with and without the mentioned extension I found the following:
- When the extension is disabled: 0%
- When the extension is enabled: Starts at 30% to 28% to 16% then keeps bouncing between 16% and 9%.
This issue overheats my laptop and I think that was not intended I mean why only this extension is causing me issues while the others are not? and no I can't just disable it and move on because I need it. The whole point of me using VSCode is this feature.
*P.S: I tried clean install and disabled gpu acceleration nothing worked.
