I started CapCut and opened the browser to download some resources. I noticed that my PC was running loudly. When I opened the Task Manager, I found that CapCut was using around 60% of the CPU while not performing any specific task. I suspect it might be collecting data to send back to ByteDance, similar to what they do with TikTok.
