Abnormally high CPU usage when browsing skins tab

We do not have enough information to find the cause of this issue.

Hi, I was not able to reproduce your reported behavior. For me, when launching the application it is between 15% and 17%, when interacting with tabs, it is around 5% to 10%; and in the skin menu when first opened, it is between 7% and 12%. It jumps to 12% to 15% for a short time when opening the explorer to look for a new file, but immediately normalizes back to 5% to 8%.

Could you attach more detailed information about your system and a video where you can see the issue? If you are on Windows, you can use Windows+Alt+R to open a built-in app for recording game footage.
In case you don't have a program to record videos, we recommend using the free recording software OBS.
In case the resulting video file is too large to be uploaded to the bug tracker directly, please upload it elsewhere (e.g. as unlisted video on YouTube) and link to it here.

Hi @unknown! Your attached video doesn't showcase the above issue, but MCL-23472. However, these two issues could loosely relate to each other.

Hi there!

Could you answer some questions regarding your issue?

How many skins do you have in your Launcher?
Do you have any overlays like: Discord, Nvidia (or other graphic cards) overlay?

Also:
Can you upload launcher_log file from your .minecraft folder?
Can you close all other applications and then run Launchers Skin tab?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Around 30 skins without counting the default ones.

Nvidia overlay is disabled, Discord overlay isn't active, disabling Xbox game bar doesn't change anything.

Still happens if I close other applications.

Hi!

Please also uninstall the Launcher, delete .minecraft folder (copy its content elsewhere before deletion) and then reinstall, restart your computer. Then please try to boot the Launcher clean without any mods or additional skins.
