I've just updated PHPStorm from version 2018.1.4 to 2018.2.1 via JetBrains Toolbox. After loading my project and indexing everything needed, I've seen that phpstorm still consumes a lot of cpu, which is unusual to me.

Microsofts Ressourcemonitor showed me that the process phpstorm64.exe seeks throught my harddrive very heavily.
I've taken a screenshot:

Well, could you please explain why your program is scanning my whole drive?

Kind regards

Something unexpected must have been added into a project. Where it could possibly be put:

Settings | Directories
Settings | Languages & Frameworks | PHP | PHP Include

If there's nothing suspicious there, try moving the .idea folder out of the project and open the project in PhpStorm once again - does this behavior persist?
