      Forgive me if this is dumb, but couldn’t you just delete the electron folder and reinstall a specific version with

      Npm install electron@version?

            I’ll try to use @Mykle1 's version of electron. I`ll google it (how to). Never did it.

            Well, you let we know if with that version of Electron is fixed the CPU usage. You can modified by hand the package.json to say to npm what version to install of Electron.

              My two cents again ;): My electron pakackage.json version is v.1.6.10. I made a downgrade to v1.4.15. Code says “invalid”. But the installation seems to work? Do you guys know, where I can check the installed electron version?

              No effect. 55% CPU and very sluggish (256MB GPU Memory):

                You can see the installed version in this file MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/version

                    I just had a thought (miracle). What version of MM is everyone using?

                    My Pi3 B mirror is running MM version 2.1.0. I’ve had no reason to update it. It’s rock solid

                      I had this problems since the new MM2 Version. Very long so. But my version is the newest one. 2.1.2 I think.
