installs an update manager service called Google KeyStone. KeyStone regularly<strong> checks for the latest version available for Chrome<\/strong> and other Google services installed on your device. If an update is available, it will download and install it to keep your browser up to date.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike other update managers that run when you launch the app, <strong>KeyStone always runs in the background<\/strong> even when you are not using Chrome. On Mac, KeyStone somehow affects WindowServer which is a system process causing a spike in CPU usage. The result is your Mac slowing down and lagging.<\/p>\n<p>A user shared his own experience when struggling with KeyStone and how deleting it not only resolved the issue but also improved the performance of his old 2015 MacBook.
