Windows 8 and later versions
Windows Server 2012 and later versions
Symptoms:
In newer Windows versions, the Performance tab in Task Manager often shows a CPU
utilization of 100% when running GeoVision software with GeoVision dongles or capture cards
installed.
Explanation:
In newer Windows versions, the CPU utilization takes into account of the CPU speed and is
not calculated the same way as the CPU usage seen in Windows 7 and older versions. A
100% CPU utilization in Windows 10 is not the same as a 100% CPU usage in Windows 7.
When running GeoVision software with GeoVision dongles or capture cards, the power saving
mode of the computer is automatically disabled in order to avoid stability issues. Do not
restore the power plan to default settings, which will enable the power saving mode again,
even though the CPU utilization will appear lower in the Performance tab of Task Manager
due to the lower CPU speed used during power saving mode.
To look up the CPU usage, please refer to the document attached.
