When does the updater process run and what does it do? I don’t see why Google’s Keystone updater would have to do this, and some quick static analysis of its binaries hasn’t revealed any such tactic. The only practical way I found to do this was to monitor the system for running processes and if Activity Monitor is found, terminate my process so that the user won’t see it in Activity Monitor. I do not have a definite answer for this question. Those questions were: Is it possible for a process to hide itself from Activity Monitor while it is running? When does the updater process run and what does it do? Is the Google Chrome updater actually the cause of this WindowServer CPU usage that people are seeing? Is it possible for a process to hide itself from Activity Monitor while it is running? What piqued my interest was the technical side of this story, and some questions that I thought of while I was reading Loren’s report. I do have it installed because some things that I do online require it, but my browser of choice has always been Safari. Let me preface this by making it very clear that I’m not a fan of Google Chrome. Many users have reported that this does work and that after removing Google Chrome from their machines, everything got a lot faster. The website includes information on how to completely get rid of Chrome and its updater from your Mac to get your performance back, and went as far as calling it “malware” (that word has since been removed). That’s why every Apple product is designed and engineered in the US, and made up of parts from 36 states, supporting 450,000 jobs with US suppliers, and we’re going to continue growing here,” added Cook.This weekend, developer Loren Brichter released a website claiming that Google Chrome for Mac - or more specifically its auto-update mechanism - was causing the WindowServer process on macOS to constantly have high CPU usage, damaging the performance of macOS, even on high-end machines. “We believe deeply in the power of American innovation. Apple says “The value of American-made components in the new Mac Pro is 2.5 times greater than in Apple’s previous generation Mac Pro.” after receiving a federal product exclusion of some required components. Apple says it was able to make the Mac Pro in the U.S.

We thank the administration for their support enabling this opportunity,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, in a statement.Īpple says over a dozen American companies have components within the new Mac Pro.

“The Mac Pro is Apple’s most powerful computer ever and we’re proud to be building it in Austin. The company’s Mac Pro has been made at its Austin facility since 2013, and will continue for the latest generation. The company first unveiled the new Mac Pro as its Worldwide Developer Conference earlier this summer. Apple has announced its latest Mac Pro will soon begin production in Austin, Texas.
