Too much disk access??

[GRoston]

I use flux V4.12 (f.lux: software to make your life better) to automatically adapt the screen's color. Work just fine. However, when i have opened Process Monitor (Process Monitor - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs) to look at disk activity, I see what appears to be an excessive amount of disk activity associated with flux (it accesses the disk every other second).

Two questions:

1. Am I right in my belief that this is excessive? Why not set a timer and 'sleep' the program throughout the entire day?
2. Are there other programs, which offer similar functionality, that I should consider?

Thanks.

Can we see what measure you got that seems off-limit?
Too much disk activity in general? Too many files opened?
Share the result of the measurment tools here so we can give a good suggestion.

Alejandro85 - no measurements or anything specific like that. As I noted, it seems to be a lot of activity for a program, that seems to me, should be doing nothing most of the time.

Looking at the Process Monitor output a bit more closely, I see something like 30 registry look-ups every two seconds and a number of calls to Procmon64.exe. None of this is bad/threatening, just wondering why so much activity.

Can you post those? At least the screen that worried you with the relevant accesses.
I guess it's about normal, programs do really MUCH more under the hodd than what you see, but just to be sure.
