GlobalProtect and CPU usage

L0 Member

I am a software developer, using GlobalProtect to connect to my customer's VPN. Everything was working OK until recent 2 or 3 weeks, when I started to notice, that after GP connection is established, CPU usage rises to 100%. Fans work at full speed and it is almost impossible to work due to slowness. After I disconnect, things go back to normal after few minutes (sometimes I even have to reboot to get rid of 100% CPU usage). I checked my PC for viruses and malware and did not find anything suspicious. Can anyone please give my any suggestion on how to solve this problem (reinstalling Windows is the last option, because I have lots of software installed).

 

Regards, Andrej

Which process is actually causing the CPU to go to 100%? The GP connection itself should not do that. However, the customer's GP VPN configuration could be forcing HIP security checks that kick off AV scans, software updates, etc. (as well as it could be your own AV trying to scan a newly connected network share from the customer, or a GP client update download).
