100% CPU usage while rendering

Since I downloaded resolve 17, whenever i render my cpu usage goes up to 99% and I have to cancel the render. I have tried many things like using optimized media and using render cached images but nothing seems to work. I am using a HP Omen 30L with an AMD Ryzen 7, RTX 2060 and 16GB of RAM. This system should be able to handle resolve as it has before for 6 months with resolve 16. Does anyone know what to do to fix my CPU usage problem while rendering?

It could be that you are using a different codec or the gpu driver needs updating.

more details are needed

Are you using the Studio version?
What is the timeline res?
do you have fusion effects or text + on your timeline?

I am using the free version of resolve beta 5, I updated all drivers today but nothing worked. I am rendering at 4K but my cpu usage goes to 100% even while rendering to hd or 720p

If its the free version it will only use the CPU which is not as optimized. that said, please review the FAQs and post NFO and logs as per the details there

Hi

I have the same problem with 17.1 version (Studio).
Enabled render cache (smart) this is new, this is not how it worked in the beta versions.
