    Depends where you set your battery slider and if you have active or passive cooling options selected in your Windows power options.

    Vscode does that on my PC as well, I think it uses GPU too much for UI to get smooth and slick.

    I have 3 virtual desktops opened, with VSCode / Postman at fullscreen, i also notice that windows are getting slower after 1 week without reboots, switching between desktops are becoming painly slow. Is there a way to clean out memory without reboot?

    VDM in windows does consume more memory and you can try RAMMap from sysinternals suite to clear RAM. Reboot is always good though.

    I use BitSum Process Lasso to keep my system running nice. It seems to do a good job. It has memory reclaiming functions built into it that are good for heavy users.
