I checked this: [CPU usage way too high · Issue #7370 · postmanlabs/postman-app-support · GitHub](https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/7370) and this: [https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/7294](https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/7294). I start Postman and almost immediately it freezes before I can even do anything like delete history or open a collection. I don’t save history anyway, so that should not be an issue. I have less than 20 collection and only 3 environments. I closed and opened Postman, and I restarted the laptop. Now when I run PM, the screen is totally black (!). I can get to my collections by opening a new Postman window. The ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/b/c/bc0786871b3268369753548e01cc6a3b1617c3a4.png) button spins very often. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/2X/e/e91a2597007d9ddf24c5025712478ea252b8dae4.png) It is impossible for me to use PM at this point. ---

Hi @GuyLev Sorry to hear about the experience with the application. Could you please post this as comments on the relevant GitHub thread below _on CPU usage_ which should help our team look into this further? > > > \*\*Postman application gets really slow and uses too much of my memory/CPU\*\* > > \*…\*To Reproduce\*\* > Steps to reproduce the behavior: > 1.

With regards to the _blank screen and sync issue_, could you submit a ticket and share a screen-record of this behavior along with the logs to check on this issue further? - [Where can I find logs for Postman application?](https://support.getpostman.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047765713-Where-can-I-find-logs-for-the-Postman-Application-) - [Submit support Ticket.](https://support.getpostman.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) Thank you! ---

I also had this issue with the current version. Here is a possible explanation and working solution for users experimenting this today : In my case, this happened because Postman kept trying to sync my data, but failed to do it (mostly because of corrupted data in my AppData). I could see it because the Sync spinner in the top right corner kept spinning and remained blue. Solution: 1. Save your data ! This is necessary because Postman is failing to sync it… You can do it by going in Settings \> Data \> Download all my data including data in workspaces I have joined. 2. Move the corrupted Appdata Postman folders to Postman\_backup for example (this can still be useful if you forgot to save something…): C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Postman -\> C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Postman\_backup C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Postman -\> C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Postman\_backup 3. Re-install Postman 4. Re-import your data by going in Settings \> Data \> Import Data ---

It worked, but why did an error pop up when choosing to import the archive. I just renamed the \*\_backup folders to Postman, restarted Postman and the problem went away. ---

I have the same issue, idle Postman is using 20% of my i9-13900HX CPU which is a lot. However it does not seem to be related to any sync issue ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/f/4/f4f1875701f012ee4acc45ad2782bdfd43418d10.png) ---
