[Max] I need help! / Re: CPU usage drops to ~10%

Hi,
Can you let me know if you see the same CPU usage drop behavior with a simple max file with few boxes and geometric shapes?
At what stage of rendering does CPU usage drop? Such as during UHD cache calculation?
By any chance you are using CoronaAO and CoronaRoundEdges in your scene?
Can you try using Corona benchmark to see if you can still see CPU usage drop with it? https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark
I understand that you have already tried turning off caustics but can you double check it again that turning it off does not fix the problem for you?
Can you make sure that your windows is uptodate? Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update
Can you also check if your power settings are set to high performance? Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options>High performance.
