Eureka... i think this did the trick, for the older graphic driver at least(21) cpu was already dine but the deopping framerates seemed to be realted to the windows energysettungs, i disabled to turn of the screen after x minutes and until now i didnt see framerates dropping.

It may be helpful to others if you state the driver version and the BI version which may have solved your problems.

As stated its the version 21 intel graphics driver which is mentioned here a lot,

And i am on the latest BI release

Cpu stable now and my framerates that would go to nearly 1fps where related to the windows 10 energie settings, so make sure ur display will not be switched of by windows

Try not to be too much a lazy n3wb @bbakels and state the full release number of both the Intel HD Drivers release and the Blue Iris version which helped you. This will prevent bad assumptions, will help eliminate confusion and will help folks so that they don't have to read through this entire topic and try to deduce what the fuQ you are talking about.

Guys, I am also noticing crazy CPU usage saw 99% recently for last 1 week or so in iOS app. Currently on BI machine, windows task manager shows BI usage as- 75%CPU, 3.3 GB memory, 52 Mbps network and 20% GPU. Previously, it was around 15-20%.My system: BI version:4.6.5.2, machine: i7-6700 3.4 GHz, 8GB. WIN10, Intel HD Graphics 530, driver: 22.20.16.4771; 8/13/17. Something is not right !

I am having the same issue. Usually runs at about 15%-20% and went to 70% overnight.
8700k, 16GB RAM, WIN10, Intel UHD Graphics 630 22.20.16.4758
Running Blue Iris version 4.6.5.2 x64

I've read this thread but I am finding mixed reviews.
Do I need to rollback BI along with my Intel graphics driver?
So I need to look for version 21.xx.xx.xxxx on the graphics driver?

Can anyone confirm that using "Limit decoding unless required" or disabling "Intel HD hardware acceleration" worked?

I also noticed that camera fps increased from 20fps to 25fps - 35fps, if I look at my individual camera settings. But if I go to my Blue Iris camera status view, they all still running at 20fps. Not sure if that is an issue though. It also would not cause my CPU to increase 60%.

I don't have a good answer, but I've rolled back both the driver to 21.x and BI and it didn't help. Note my only option for "rolling back" BI was to install and older version, which is not really a clean return to previous state. I suspect I'll have to start from scratch with a fresh Windows and BI install.

I just did a fresh Windows and BI install - that won't solve it.
Saw someone else did it too.

Wow, I missed that. Thanks for saving me the effort.

I had to reboot yesterday as BI became unresponsive with CPU pegged at 100. I've been watching my BI system all morning and its hovering around 70% CPU since the reboot. Roughly double what it used to run. If I try and playback a recording, it jumps to 100%. Still looking for the silver bullet.

Yes, I've tried multiple graphics driver versions. I have the latest (22.x) installed right now, and its definitely not working well. Rolling back to 15.4x as I type.

Another datapoint.

i5-6600k, 16gb ram, ssd boot, hdd storage, win 10, 11 cameras @ 2.1MP/20FPS, hwaccel on.
  • Everything was working fine, no abnormal CPU
  • Installed Windows Creator's Update.
  • Some time later, notice CPU at 100%.
  • Roll back various versions of BI, no effect
  • Updated Intel Graphics Drivers to latest
  • No Effect
  • Uninstalled old Intel Graphics Drivers 22
  • Downloaded and installed Intel Graphics Drivers 21.20
  • Things looked good.
  • Windows automatically downloaded and installed newer Intel Graphics Drivers 22!!!
  • Manually "rolled back" driver in device manager.
  • Things looking good again, 30% CPU after ~20 hours.

It seems Windows Update was being helpful and found newer versions of the Intel Graphics Driver after I specifically installed the old one!!

I use the Group Policy editor to control my updates. You must have W10 Pro.

  1. Press Win-R, type gpedit.msc, press Enter. This brings up the Local Group Policy Editor.
  2. Navigate the left pane as if it were File Explorer, to
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.
  3. Find and double-click Configure Automatic Updates

  4. In the resulting dialog box, select Enabled.
  5. In the Options box, pull down the Configure automatic updating menu and select your preferred option.
It should look like this in your update page then:

I have the 100% CPU bug under a very different circumstance than other users here, but I will describe:

On my system, if I open the Blue Iris console and select a clip to export with the following settings:

MP4
No audio
Re-encode to export 0 (export 0 being at stock settings, or altered settings doesn't matter)
Time-lapse selected with 10x multiplier, 30 fps

The system will begin saving the clip, using ~40-50% CPU, then creep progressively up higher and higher. With a long enough clip to save, the machine will hit 100% CPU, and even after the clip finishes rendering the Blue Iris service will continue using 100% CPU. Only nuking the service through Task Manager brings it back to Earth. This behavior is confirmed with newest version of BI, and 4.3.0. Also with newest Intel drivers from their website, as well as the stock drivers from the 1709 Fall Creator's build of Windows 10 Pro.

I've already emailed Ken about it to see if he could reproduce.
