Request Type: BUG MCEBuddy Version and Type (32bit or 64bit): MCEBuddy 2.5.5 x64 Operating System and Type (32bit or 64bit): Win10x64 20H2 and using HW encoding with an RTX2060. Summary of the problem or suggestion: MCEBuddy GUI locks up with the window title of “Service Not Connected” and al…

The CPU issue has been fixed in today 2.5.6 BETA release

That’s Windows saying your CPU is out of resources and it breaks the connection between the GUI and the engine. Reduce the work load or increase the RAM/disk speed

I still think something is wonky. I’m running at 34% CPU and the “Not Responding” MCE Buddy GUI process is taking up 27% of that. So my load without the GUI is 7%. That doesn’t make sense since things have been fine before. I also do use HW (GPU) transcoding and I do run other applications that are…

Here’s the thread stack (via SysInternals Process Explorer) for the thread that is sucking up all the CPU: ntdll.dll!NtQueryKey+0x14 KERNELBASE.dll!MapPredefinedHandleInternal+0xe54 KERNELBASE.dll!MapPredefinedHandleInternal+0xa80 KERNELBASE.dll!RegOpenKeyExInternalW+0x141 KERNELBASE.dll!RegOpenKey…

Saw in another post from @Goose : If the service has started then your firewall or antivirus is blocking the port (23332) used by the MCEBuddy service (engine) to communicate with the client (GUI). So I’m looking into port 23332 in the windows firewall to see if that’s a problem.

I was going to suggest try disabling the automatic firewall exception and UPnP option in the System Settings page. It looks like windows is hung up trying to access the firewall and network adapter info

Cross connecting the issues: [image] Idle CPU usage high in service Bugs 5% CPU usage at idle with the service not even running 15-20 at idle with the service running This is an 8 core 9th gen i7 and it is chewing up 20% at idle? Version is 2.5 Beta 5 (yes i can update …

That seems to have fixed the GUI startup for me. I wasn’t able to get to any settings within the GUI since it was locking up before the main window finished painting. However, the 2.5.6 2021-04-27 version installed and popped up out of the box. Even with 30% load (other apps - and with 4 cores, it …

Did some more testing. Wow! A GPU job running, a KMTTG decrypting and downloading shows from my Tivo, downloading game updates, and CPU was maxed at 95%. GUI still came up snappy and like a rock star. Showed MCEBuddy was running a conversion on the GPU (in addition to my GPU task) on top of the 95% …
