I have upgraded to sequoia and now wallpapervideoextension is killing my laptop. The fans run permanently. I dont want it, never asked for it. How do I kill it and get my laptop back?

re: "wallpapervideoextension"


hmmm...

did you click on these to start them downloading onto your Mac—this may be the issue, and may resolve in time on its own.


I certainly see no such in Activity Monitor:





there is a reference here in Ars Techinca, see if it has relavence to your issue: search "wallpaper"


" ...if you have them set as your desktop wallpaper and your screen saver simultaneously, taking advantage of the Apple TV-ish movie-screensavers introduced in Sonoma last year."
