Excessive Eagle CPU useage

[Anonymous]

I am having an issue with Eagle where, no matter what I am doing, Eagle consumes 25-35% of my total CPU time.

Windows 10 64bit running eagle 8.1.1 64 bit

I thought I had fixed the problem by uninstalling it from "program files (x86)" and reinstalling it to my "program files". This seemed to work. Then one day I go to use Eagle and it's consuming all of this CPU time again while nothing is going on within the application.  

Please help!!!

Now I am getting the same Error message that I was getting before I reinstalled eagle to the \program files folder. 

The error is, 

"Can't open 'C:\program files\eagle 8.1.1\projects\examples\tutorial\demo1.~~~'

Permission denied

I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem

I'll click OK, continue working in Eagle, and the box will come up again.  All the while, Eagle is running 25-35% of my CPU time. 

This is annoying. 

Please someone help.

Hi nslanders22,

I hope you're doing well. Please uninstall EAGLE and let it install to the root of C both program files and program files(x86) are subject to restrictions by Windows. The permission denied message confirms that you are running into an OS restriction.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

I will try this now. 

I will say, If I take the tutorial sch or brd files that I was working on and save them to my documents\eagle, the problem seemed to go away. 

Will report back if this works or doesn't work.

Hi slanders22,

Thanks for your participation on the forum, working on the file in your document folder should work since you have full (read and write) rights to it.  Using the default structure for windows might cause some conflict with use rights.  That is the reason, as Jorge stated, why EAGLE prefers to install on the c:\ root.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Ed
