I think, it's because of https://github.com/ritwickdey/vscode-live-server/issues/255

[ritwickdey]

Please upgrade the extension to lastest version (I've updated it recently). If it doesn't work, please let me know

[ritwickdey]

If you can share reproducible steps that would be even better.

No, I am gettin it only on GitHub. I dont know why. Make a new folder 'mvc_sajt' in 'htdocs' and state all files from downloaded file(folder) 'mvc-master' on it. Advice for u: Use the Xampp.

Same issue, MacOs, latest VsCode (1.41.1) and Live Server 5.6.1 :(

In my situation it seems to be related to having the composer "vendor" folder for my project included in my workspace. Maybe it is having to watch all of those tens of thousands of files for file refreshes? Anyway I was able to select only my main web app folder and reduced my CPU usage from ~300% to 5%. Is there some way to exclude folders from the reload rules?
