WaitProgress.exe CPU Load
Hi folks
I just wondered, why our Admin Terminalserver (with RDM installed) has such a big CPU load. I could see that there is a RDM child process called WaitProgress.exe which uses up to 40% CPU (peaking from 0 to 40% all the time).
At the moment 4 users run RDM and two of them have this process (I can only see them in a process manager). One of these two user has RDM opened. But no session is connected. Only a search result in the navigation is visible and the dashboard view of the marked session. He had connected to two simple RDP sessions before.
What excactly is the purpose of this process? Does it really need to consume CPU when idle? Can we do anything against it?
Regards
Daniel

I forgot: We use RDM 9.0.12.0
This is abnormal. Could you kill the process? This is an external process used to display a wait progress message when the application is busy.

Yeah, I could kill it without influencing the running RDM instance. After that it was quiet. But today this process does the same again.
Strange thing is: If the Overall load on the server is high, the Peak of every waitprogress.exe process went up to 40% last week. At the moment 20%. Then I asked a colleague to stop a service and close some programs. Now it seems that the Peaks are only going up to 12%...
Where would that message appear? I didn't see any.
It's not something important right now. I just think about the future, when we will have around 10 guys per Server using RDM.
Hi,
You can disable the waitprogress and move the message in the statusbar:
