[Solved]After last security updates kworker/0:1 @ 96% CPU load

Post by idle »

Can anyone help with an issue I'm having after the latest security updates? I don't know exactly what was updated, I have my settings set to Number 2 updates so nothing gets broken. After the latest update my CPU load is at 96% constant and the process is called kworker/0:1
I've tried rebooting, and turning system off and back on, but it goes straight back to 96% CPU load constantly. A bit worried :shock:

Never mind, updated the kernal to 4.15 from 4.13 and that fixed it ...
