Users may notice that CrowdStrike Falcon utilises an abnormally high amount of CPU. If you are experiencing this issue, the current recommendation is:

  1. In the first instance, reboot your device.
  2. If a reboot doesn't resolve the issue, then this is because the affected device will have not yet received updated detection logic, in which case waiting a short while and rebooting again should resolve the issue.
