The vscode Code Helper (Renderer) process consumes a lot of cpu and causes a very high processor temperature, closing vscode and disabling all extensions will not solve the problem. After a clean reinstall the problem persisted. The way to reproduce is to open vscode and use the search function will appear, and vscode’s own process manager does not show this abnormal process, you need to manually go to apple’s process manager to end the task.

I confirmed that the settings-sync extension was causing the problem, and it was resolved by turning off the extension.
