# High CPU usage

Since the release of Remote Desktop Manager 13, some users have experienced high CPU usage on their systems, especially in Terminal Services / Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environment. This is caused by the entry state verification feature.

{% hint style="info" %}
This option is available with version 13.0.13.0 and above.
{% endhint %}

### Solution

Disable the option ***Allow entry states (Lock, Running, Checkout)*** in ***Administration – System Settings – General*** to improve performance on your servers and your workstations. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_kb_KB2024.png)
