Noticing after playing SteamVR game that after exiting and closing down SteamVR, I still have this under PiTools in Processes hogging CPU.
Any ideas?
That’s simply steam’s background process. Strange that it’s listed under PiTool though.
I suppose that a game was installing / updating at that time?

Nah, it was others but running Il2 via steam I suppose the price you pay. I think the stand alone launcher is the better way to go.
Go into your Steam client settings, set your downloads/updates to only download between a time you don’t use your computer, say between 3 and 4am.
The bootstrapper is what checks your games files and downloads any missing files or updates, and so you just tell it to only run between X and Y o’clock
(I also set it to not download while playing game, and throttle on while streaming. The combination of all these seem to do the trick)

or just disable it in autostart to get rid of it, but then you will have steam downloading updates when you start it
