100% cpu on webstorm
I am running my react app and the processor gets to 100% cpu when I run the work project. At work, the pc I have has a weaker processor and it never jumps that much, still. My i7-8565U has 90-100% cpu. WHAT IS THIS IN THE NAME OF GOD? It's getting frustrating because I really don't want to start using Visual Studio Code
My work station has 12 GB ram and a processor with 2 threads
I have 16GB ram and a processor with 4 threads.
What is happening?

does it happen on running or on debugging? also, what process is using the CPU - java or node.js?
I have the same problem.
Currently opened 3 windows with webstorm projects. There are no currently indexing running or applications in the terminal. Just idling.
The process is called node.
it must be one of language services started from the IDE, most probably Typescript language service
It's just a wrapper around the tsserver provided by Microsoft, there is not much we can do to fix its CPU usage; you can turn it off in Settings | Languages & Frameworks | TypeScript
Same problem here. Whenever It's indexing, the fan gets too loud and my laptop becomes too hot. I use MacBook Pro (Catalina). Happens almost everytime. It's really annoying so now I have switched to VSCode though I love to use webstorm. I hope there's some alternative to fix it.
@Ameet Indexing is indeed very resource-intensive and might utilize all your CPU cores. But it is normally only performed on project opening/switching VCS branches (and on massive changes made to project folders - for example, on generating files, that's why we strongly recommend to exclude build destination directories from project)
If you face issue with constant project re-indexing while editing your code, this is likely a bug that has to be fixed; please report it to support by submitting either a support ticket or a bug in youtrack
