Hi, this week my replays have become so slow it is virtually impossible to run them. Often they also get stuck. Today I noticed SC was using a lot of CPU power > between 20 - 35%. This seems way too high for this app.
Do you have any idea what might be going on and if this is connected to my slow replays?
Thank you

This might be because of the Replay Mode. Refer to help topic 30.41 here about this:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.41 - Slow Replay Due To Back Test Modes

Otherwise, refer to the other items on that page for other causes.

I am sorry, but this is not very helpful. I looked at 30.40, 30.41 and 30.37, but it doesn't help me find the cause because none of these seem to be happening in my case.
Also, I am in Win10 and the image you show in section 30.37 is from Win 7 I think.
I have none of the events described in these sections happening.
I run a pretty fast pc with I7, 32GB and 1TB SSD. Only 2 charts, 1 symbol. The pc I use is dedicated for trading, no surfing, no additional programs installed.
I can open any dialog window, causes no problem.
My replay mode has to be 'Accurate trading system back test mode' since I am testing for auto trade system. Last week my replays flew through at speed 100000, after the weekend suddenly super slow, like 2 min at the time.
Any other suggestions?

It does not matter the particular operating system version you are running.

You really have to go through this with a process of isolation. Remove all studies from the chart and just replay one chart and see if there is an improvement.
