Since installing macOS 26 Beta, the mediaanalysisd process has been using too much CPU. Now that I’ve upgraded to the final release, the issue persists and my MacBook Pro is still overheating. I’m not sure what this process does, but the issue seems clearly related to macOS 26.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

My MacBook Pro also started overheating in FL Studio.

I can't find the exact cause.

But it seems like Windows Server is using a lot of GPU power.
