OpenJDK Platform binary or Java(TM) Platform SE binary orjavaw.exeis the Java environment that is required for games like Minecraft and some other apps. So, whenever you run such games or applications, this process also launches alongside.
This process can show high CPU usage if the root application runs this process continuously. It can happen because of the limitation of the app or your system. Also, bugs within the apps can cause the process to use more CPU than necessary.
Usually, this process handles the graphics assets. So you need to ensure the CPU doesn’t perform very intensive graphical processing in such cases.
Use Dedicated Graphics
Usually, this issue arises from the integrated graphics processor on the CPU handling all the graphics tasks of the OpenJDK Platform binary process instead of the dedicated GPU.
So, if you have both integrated and dedicated GPUs, you need to have this processuse the dedicated graphics processorto reduce the load on the CPU.
you may alsodisable the integrated graphics cardthrough the BIOS if simply assigning this process to the dedicated GPU doesn’t help.
Change Affinity and Priority of the Process
Another method you may try is to limit the number of logical CPU cores that run this process as well as reduce its priority. As such, you can free up more of the CPU reserves for other processes. You should also do this if you don’t have a dedicated GPU on your computer.
Update Graphics Drivers
Suppose the OpenJDK Platform binary is causing a high load on the graphics card, integrated or otherwise. In that case, your CPU will naturally need to use a lot of its processing capabilities as well.
This issue is further compounded if some driver issues prevent the graphics card from working properly. So, you should alwaysupdate them to the latest version.
I recommend downloading the latest graphics driver from the manufacturer’s website and then installing it instead of using the Device Manager.
Change In-App Settings
The high CPU usage may not be a result of some software inconsistencies, but actually due to the limitations of your system. If you have a low-spec system, the CPU may not be able to fully handle all the processing that OpenJDK Platform binary needs.
