I tried "Continuous Build d492ddf" today (with a clean uninstall/reboot/install and a great hope) and I sadly still have 6/7% CPU usage on deskflow-core with TLS enabled (and still 0% with TLS disabled)

I still stick on 1.23.

I wonder if your issue is related to TLS itself.

Hello =)

This issue still exists in version 1.25 and also in latest continuous version (from this night 2026/01/18) :

  • Deskflow: 1.25.0.0 (d4ff55d) / Qt: 6.10.0 / System: Windows 11 Version 24H2
  • Deskflow: 1.25.0.165 (aca274e) / Qt: 6.10.1 / System: Windows 11 Version 24H2

CPU goes to 12/13% on my Win_11 x64

Using VisualStudio attaching the process gave me a lot of calls to:

  • ws2_32.dll

Using SysInternals ProcessExplorer gave me those calls mainly on the call stack:

  • ucrtbase.dll ! wcsrchr
  • ws2_32.dll
  • deskflow-core.exe ! OPENSSL_Applink

So I disabled TLS on both server (Win11) and client (ubuntu 25.10) and the windows server dropped to 0% instantly.

I didn't want to open a new thread, so I am just adding an answer here.
Maybe admins could open it again?

Hope this helps. For now I will use without TLS !
Have a great day
