After a recent update I’ve started to get really high temps (over 70 C) when I log in. Plasmashell user CPU usage is high, over 70 %, general CPU usage is less than 6 %. I’ve tried eliminating background apps but they don’t seem to affect the situation.
I tested on a test profile and the temps were completely fine, under 40 C.
How do I trace what is causing this spike in CPU temps? Is something in my plasmashell buggin’ out?

). Temps were initially very high when logging in, but soon chilled down. I’m marking this as solved.
