tsvncache.exe is a cpu hog – fix

I have noticed tsvncache.exe is a cpu hog on my computer. Tsvncache.exe collects data needed to display the icon overlays for TortoiseSVN.

Fix:

Right-click desktop, TortoiseSVN —> settings —> Icon Overlay:

1) System cache – Set either to Shell or None (mouse over options to see what they do and which one will work best for you)

And/Or

2) Set Excluding/Including paths
