I'm actually not sure that it is ONLY OneDrive's fault, although it does go into overdrive and heat my Mac up. (Still only a partial solution - why can't MS fix this?)Īctually, it didn't work for me. I've already tried it and it seems to work in turning down my fan. Being able to quit disnoted will be much better. I've always been quitting OneDrive and only opening it as needed, which is a pain in the ass.

There is an article defining distnoted here: After a few seconds, there is an immediate change in the fan speed and cpu consumption. Stay tuned for more OneDrive news in the coming months and you can also stay up to date with the full Office 365 roadmap here.Group, my research found that the high cpu was directly a result of a process called 'distnoted.' The approach I follow now is when I experience high cpu, I open activity monitor (cpu tab), sort on cpu %, find the distnoted process demanding high cpu, double-click on it and then quit the process.
