I then force quit some programs such as Twitch, Voicemod, and Microsoft Teams. I uninstalled Skype (I saw something on the internet that said Skype can make windows audio things run high CPU usage). When I rebooted my PC it was the same thing over again, but this time it shows my monitor with the same device as before but in parenthesis, as seen in the image below. I rebooted my PC after recording the first video clip seen below. I have a Ryzen 3 2200g which is a 4 core, 4 thread but I never hit 100% usage when starting up. When I opened Task Manager I saw that my CPU usage was pegging 100% which is not normal at all.
I unplugged the Display Port from my GPU and re plugged it to no avail. It cycles through this so I was confused. It then closed and reopened and closed again. When I opened up Discord I got a prompt for new device: Nvidia High Definition Audio. I booted it up this morning to play Minecraft Dungeons that just released. Task Manager reports Skype.exe using 8,492K, now that’s more like it.I need help with my computer. Grabbed my cell phone and called into my Skype-In number, a small popup alerted me that a call was coming in, no lag in site. Made a call to their sound test service, the girl with the British accent came through clearly on the USB phone. Upon startup, Skype’s screen popped up instantly, since 3.x version’s default interface was more like an instant messenger client. When installing this older version of Skype, I clicked the options button, and unchecked the Extras Manager, that’s the additional SkypePM.exe process you see in Task Manager. Removed my installed v4.2.0.158, and rebooted the computer to clear out any loaded DLLs. He recommended v3.8.0.188, the best Skype ever written he claimed.Īrmed with this information, I headed over to FileHippo, and grabbed Skype 3.8.0.188. A long time user of Skype laid out the cruel facts, that all the 4.x versions of the software were slow and used up way too much memory. In the dark crevices of Skype’s support forum, which is hidden behind FAQ after FAQ, there was this post. Today, I went looking for answers, there had to be a solution.
And when called upon, it shouldn’t paint the screen like it’s struggling with my display adapter, each tile coming in piecemeal. An application that sits in my Windows tray all day, shouldn’t be using 60,000K of my precious ram. My only gripe has been their application, it’s always felt heavy and consumed way too much memory for my tastes. A year of outbound telephone service is $30, a Skype-In number so any phone can call into me is another $30, add in a VOIP USB phone for around $30, and it’s a very cheap solution with excellent call quality. Skype has been my main form of communication for the last couple of years. An hour of Googling turned up the answer.
