I think that we are going to need your computer’s complete profile before we can proceed, so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Your computer detect 4 cores yet, in the .conf you have defined 8. Check /etc/mx-snapshot.conf or ~/.config/MX-Linux/mx-snapshot.conf for "cores" definition, you probably have it set to 8 there.

Changing the number of cores to 4 in ~/.config/MX-Linux/mx-snapshot.conf solved it. Thanks. :happy:
