Thanks plug-ins may be the underlying issue as I loaded just my template and that was running at 19% CPU. As this is the replacement PC for the one that went into meltdown there might be some plug-ins that have yet to be activated so have started walking through each one and checking. At least while working on template I have room to manoeuvre there were some that caused issues previously but those were not installed initially.
I would suspect the PC but it runs high performance games without raising a sweat.
For info.
Windows 10 64 bit (one build behind latest), i7-68000K 3.4GHZ CPU(4.0GHz overclocked) 6 core 12 logical processors
64GB RAM, Dual GTX-1080 graphics, ZxR DB Pro soundcard. 1.4TB of SSD and 6TB of SATA.
The backup PC is a Windows 10 64 bit latest build a less powerful i7 3.4GHz 6 cores core 12 logical processors, 32GB RAM single less powerful GTX graphics card and same soundcard, and 1,256GB of SSD and 4TB of SATA.
More plugin-ins on backup (the troublesome ones) and all external hardware midi keyboards, console 1 and mixers etc.can be connected to either.
