Hi All - I wonder if anyone is having the same issues as me and may have a workaround. I have a Samsung QE65Q95T. UMS works and connects, but the interface on the TV is terrible. Some features, such as moving the files after they've been watched, or marking them do not work at all. I'm pretty sure t...

So I recently noticed my CPU running very hot and the fans whirring up much more than usual even when the computer is essential idle. On investigation, it seems that OpenJDK platform is taking up a lot of CPU and RAM. Closing UMS seems to immediately reduce the fan usage, and the CPU temp comes down...

So now we have to figure out what it is that's causing the conflict so we can get both working again... any UMS experts have any ideas?

It might be worth looking at the Java settings on Malwarebytes. Because I'm not a java expert at all, it might be something someone else knows - but I do know that turning off MWB seems to have solved the stuttering problem. My guess is there is definitely a conflict there.

I may have figured this out. I disabled Malwarebytes yesterday and had a day without stuttering. I'm going to test it again today and see if the problem is gone.

BlackHamster - do you have Malwarebytes running?

I think Win 10 updates is a possibility, although I uninstalled the latest update and the problem persisted. I'm running defender and malwarebytes. Both have execptions added to allow UMS, but I will try turning each off independently to rule them out. I'll keep you updated. It's really frustrating ...

So are there any other ideas about how we might find out what's causing this issue? It's definitely progressive - it gets worse as the day goes on. It appears to be UMS or Java or Windows 10 or a combination of them related. The problem will get better if UMS is shut down, but only a reboot gets the...

fair enough - i'm a psychotherapist, not a software engineer so my computer knowledge is decent, but not expert. it does mean i have to be a little cautious due to patient confidentiality and whatnot. anyway, I have installed UMS 7.9 and will test that throughout the day. EDIT: Nope - didn't work - ...

will that not be potentially risky, security-wise?

No, it didn't solve mine either although it is significantly improved. I've not had the severe stuttering on the mouse etc, but the audio is still fecked.
