Hi. I recently have an issue with Radeon Software. It somehow uses 10% of the CPU while idle. I didnt have that problem since 20.11.1 update came out. I tried to roll back the updates and it didn't work. any ideas how i might solve this problem?

Solution
I read about an issue where the radeon software uses one thread 100% continuously regardless even if there is no amd graphics card involved.
10% is about what a single thread of a 3600 would consume.

That is the result of poor coding.
Not much you can do about it if you have a radeon card.
If you have a nvidia card, uninstall all of the radeon software.
