A poster on page 1 suggested i close my tws windows too and i closed them until nothing was left to close but the problem never went away. The latest update dropped the cpu to 20-60% but thats still higher than the less than 10% my cpu was showing before

Thats what i assumed because when tws updates, a java installer window pops up too but it disappears when tws is done updating. I cant find any actual java program anywhere in my mac. Only when i open the tws file there will be a JARS file in there with a bunch of code. Thanks i wont install any...

Googled where to find the JRE on mac, still couldnt find it though... Scratching my head now because youre right about needing it to run java apps as everyone on java forums is saying that too. I sent oracle an email about it hopefully they can help me.

Sorry i should have said before, i used a relatives laptop to check if tws for windows was doing the same thing and it was not. Cpu barely jumped over 7% when i was logged in on their windows so thats why my problem is "solved" because i am buying a windows laptop today specifically to run my...

Ive tried that many times, it doesnt work. But i have an update: Yesterday TWS updated their latest version to the next one and it automatically installed when i tried to log in. The cpu after that update has dropped significantly - im using only 20-60% now no matter what i do in tws which is...

So mine was set to 768 mb and i increased it to 4000 mb and that was the max it would let me do (i kept getting an error when i tried to increase it anymore). My cpu dropped but if i click on anything in tws or tinker with global configuration- it spikes to 100% cpu now and stays there. So im...

When i uninstalled it i removed my saved settings and started from scratch (the tws layout you get when you log in for the first time ever) and it still happened. I dont have any java programs on my mac other than the jar files which are in the same folder as tws because they were downloaded...

I dont know if its the same for windows but on a mac there are multiple "cores" and your cpu can go to 100% x however many cores you have. So if i have what im assuming is a quad core my cpu can be maxed to 400%. If you want the exact tech behind it, it can all be found on google :)

I thought it was my mac at first. I factory reset it and did everything i possibly could but its still only happening with tws! I would suggest you talk to interactive brokers as well. i feel like if this were a windows issue it would have been resolved by now since its been over a week now...

I did that until all of them were closed and it still didnt work *sighs* thanks for the suggestion though!

Hello, I literally just created an account on here because im having the following issue: I have TWS latest installed on my macbook which updates automatically. Ever since the latest update on March 28 (version 970.1b) my cpu is in the high 200-300% for tws in my activity monitor. When i...
