    Why is my iMac running heavy CPU usage, despite there being no apps using this CPU?

    Recently I've been getting a black screen & lag when starting videos on my Apple TV 4k 64 gb. It's frustrating. I don't know if it has to do with HDR settings? Maybe a recent update broke something? Anyone else having this issue?
