I have a similar issue to the ones discussed here and here , but those threads are several years old and I was hoping that there are new fixes.

I switched from Filestream to Google Drive recently. After the initial sync which took over 12 hours, it was operating normally for around a week. However, yesterday and today my laptop is almost non-functional because Google Drive is using so much CPU power.

enter image description here

CPU usage has been sitting between 25% and 35% for the past two days. I can barely use other programs while GD is running. It doesn't appear to be syncing anything, since the first sync took care of all that. I don't know what has changed in the last two days, but it is unusable at the moment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Within Google Drive settings:

Real-time Presence in Microsoft Office

Unticked : See if someone else is editing a shared Microsoft Office file

Then press done.
