I see a few threads posted about this by other users where bitcoin-qt wallet takes up nearly all or all of the CPU usage available.
I'm not mining or anything, to the best of my knowledge. Is there some way I can tell it to cool it?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Actually, I solved it. Turns out I had indeed told it to try mining.
Nevermind.
Would delete thread but I can't; turf it if you want, mods.
