mediaanalysisd and mediaanalysisd-access consume a lot of CPU time

Everytime I come to my office in the morning, I feel my macbook is warm and find mediaanalysisd and mediaanalysisd-access consume a lot of CPU time in the Activity Monitor.


I searched the Internet and found that those processes are used for photo related tasks. However I do not store any photo on my macbook.


Hope anyone can help.


MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.1

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.


Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?



We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
