Hi

Using KDE neon LTS. Yesterday my computer became almost unusable. Apps took several minutes to open. My HDD activity was high and 2 of my 4 cpu cores were maxing out. Top showed that plasmashell appeared to be the main culprit. I have previously turned off File search after it caused my pc to be completely unusable and now this. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue so I can prevent it happening again?

Cheers

this is old plasmashell bug.
i dont know why its not fixed yet!
maybe its your graphic driver.
remove all widgets and check it again.
