Webadvisor High CPU Usage

Webadvisor was working fine until a couple of days ago, but now it is using almost 100 percent of my memory and causing my CPU to overheat when it is turned on.

Can someone please help me with this problem?

Re: Webadvisor High CPU Usage

I noticed this today too, particularly if I have Chrome open. When I was using MS Teams, WebAdvisor was pushing CPU to 100% and taking about 35-40% during the entire 1.5h call.
