High CPU usage in the Task Manager

If you see in the Task Manger that PhraseExpander is using a lot of CPU cycles (you see it above 20%) that might be related to the antivirus that is interfering with the PhraseExpander keystroke detection system that is used to detect the abbreviation you are typing and showing the proper suggestions.

To solve High CPU Usage:

  1. Open your antivirus
  2. Whitelist PhraseExpander
  3. Restart your machine

This method has been verified with Windows Defender and a few other antiviruses.
