Splashtop Streamer Maxing out CPU

Staff Picks

We run this on every machine, and it just takes care of the uninstallation and the force sync. One run and problem solved. Also, be sure to give it at least a 3-minute runtime for the slower machines.

Edit: Keep in mind, this fixes the issue if Syncro is providing the Splashtop. If you have BYO Splashtop, then replace the first part of the script with the one shared above by @ben2.

Import-Module $env:SyncroModule

$SEARCH =$Program
$RESULT =$INSTALLED | ?{ $_.DisplayName -ne $null } | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match $SEARCH }
