Best Alternative To Activity Monitor 10,13 Code On A

Is there an equivalent keyboard shortcut indeed Task Manager for carrying out such tasks as quitting an application that maybe hanging (amongst other things) for Apple Macs, or indeed anything similar.

The force-quit shortcut is much easier to use if you just want to quickly kill a misbehaving application.

You can also set the screen saver to require a password and just activate the screen saver when you leave your desk (I use a hot corner to do this).

So the only key combination available now is this less convenient one (if you have a Mac Mini or an iMac you have to press the physical Power button on the computer in addition to the other two keys in the keyboard).

Its quite likely you wont recognise the name so just google it exactly as its spelled with the word CPU or activity monitor following it to bring up questions people have asked about it in the past.

Now that youve narrowed down the culprit, you can contact the developer if it continues to be an issue.

If its something that comes with macOS it might be a natural result of upgrading - say, Spotlight having to sort through lots again in the background after a big update.

I followed your steps and found that AdBlock was taking up a considerable amount of CPU even though it was disabled on Safari.

I dont know if it was the update that caused this but I think not.

I wasnt talking only about Xcode, simple stuff kept heating up the MacBook.
