Observed behaviour
Screens sharing sometimes causes high power usage to the Windows explorer, as well as making it impossible to use Windows search or use the Windows key to bring up the Start menu in Windows. Restarting Windows explorer is currently the only way to fix it.
It doesn't always happen, but multiple people I know who use Fluxer experience this often.
Reproduction steps
- Join a call.
- Start screen sharing.
- Check Windows explorer's power usage in the task manager, or try to use the Windows key to open the Start menu/search.
