Just for the troubleshooting sake, I’d simply:
- Open a problematic rackspace or a gig file,
- Note what plugins are there,
- Disable one by one in the Plugin Manager,
- Reload the gig file.
- Repeat these steps until CPU goes to normal.
Of course you do these steps while monitoring the CPU activity in the Task Manager.
When you identify the culprit(s) (i.e. after CPU cycles return to normal) see the settings such as: “Automatically update”, “Check for updates”, “Send anonymous data”, “Usage data tracking” (basically all settings that will cause a plugin to contact “home”).
NB: you are using a dated Windows 10 edition (1909). The latest is 21H1.

Thank you for your Support…i know…i have to do this…but…my main question is…wy work GIG V3.8 perfekt with my Live GIG Session, and wy…have GIG 4 this problem…
The Communication here… is Great…thanx a lot…
I am back to 1909 because…21H1 was the problem…but… it wasn’t…so…i made a downgrade…sorry for my written Englisch…i am from Austria…🤦
Well, a service like Google Translate may help you out with Deutsch <–> English. 
I’m not sure what was the problem, but be aware that 1909 is not supported by Microsoft any more.
Can you please do the steps like described in previous posts to isolate the issue?

And no plugin used in your gig tries to send usage data?

Might be related to your AV, which is not properly configured to allow GP4 to work.

Sorry…AV…?
When you switch rackspaces, does the CPU usage change?

I have to say that in the GIG 4 the CPU display shows 8%, but in the task manager it shows 80% …
no … it stays at 80% and after a good 2 hours of use … 100% and audio fails …
Yes, that effect I know
So does that CPU usage change when you switch rackspaces?
I dentified the demanding rackspace and deleted plugin by pluging and watched the CPU.
Then i figured out that the NI Plugins when usage tracking is activated can stress the CPU.
