Today I saw a post from netizen @sloknyyz on V2EX saying that the plug-in of Baidu Netdisk causes Windows Explorer to continue to occupy high CPU, which in turn leads to a decrease in the stability of the Explorer process and system freezes. After a casual search, I found that many professional users have noticed this kind of problem. After Baidu Netdisk is installed, a control called YunShellExtV164.dll will be released. This control causes the CPU to surge.
What's funny is that if the user directly opens the task manager, he will only see that the resource manager occupies a high CPU, and Baidu Netdisk will not be displayed because this control is loaded into the resource manager.
Only by using some third-party professional tools for analysis can we see that YunShellExtV164.dll is the culprit. So why does it occupy such a high CPU?Because this control will traverse all processes from time to time, I don't know why Baidu Netdisk traverses all processes.
So if you encounter similar problems, it is recommended to uninstall Baidu Netdisk directly. If you really want to continue using Baidu Netdisk, you can consider deleting YunShellExtV164.dll in safe mode. Deletion will not affect the use of Baidu Netdisk.
Why do you need to enter safe mode? Because this control may not disappear by itself after Baidu Netdisk is uninstalled. If you delete it directly, it will prompt that the file is occupied. It should be started and injected following the system process, so it is best to operate in safe mode.
