Upgraded to macOS Catalina hoping that would make the problem go away.I checked my SSD for filesystem errors, found a few and had them repaired.Over the next few days I tried a few different things to fix that: However, I couldn’t find any correlation with any of the above. One of my friends suggested that the slowdown was caused by a heavy memory or I/O activity. One thing was clear - something was hogging my CPU. What was that mysterious “kernel task”? The search on the internet didn’t bring clarity.
No matter how much I tried, I wasn’t able to find a reason for that behaviour. The CPU was consumed by “kernel_task” whatever that wasĪnd this is what it looked like when it came back to normal: When I looked at the CPU load chart it looked like this: Then everything sped back up, only to go back down in another 20 seconds.
Once I started the game, the CPU went to 100% and the frame rate dropped from above 40FPS to one frame per few seconds. However, this time it was a different story. Although MacBook Pro doesn’t have enough power to run it in 4K resolution, it works reasonably well in 1280x1024. I occasionally play Velocidrone FPV racing simulator on it. Recently I started experiencing a weird issue with my 2016 MacBook Pro. How I fixed kernel_task consuming 100% of my MacBook’s CPU
