An option to disable CPU mining
Since CPU mining is inefficient compare to GPU mining. for power consumption and heat issues. An option to disable CPU mining would be great.

I am using AMD A8-6500 CPU with AMD Radeon HD 8570D in it, and a separate AMD Radeon R7 240 GPU.

Hi Minefox - what GPU are you using? If Bitcoin Miner is using your CPU it might be that it is having a hard time using your GPU.

Hi Alex.. First of all I want to say that I got my first Bitcoin, and its coming from GroupFabric.. Its fun playing with this bitcoin mining thing using only the PCs, though I know it would not be profitable this days. Just curious of the bitcoins processing and mining.. :)
As I noticed your Windows app is using CPU more than the GPU, even using the maximum setting and ticking the "enable GPU". My PC's Task Manager shows 88 - 92% CPU usage. How could we shift to GPU properly?

This is a fair request - however Bitcoin Miner will already use less of the CPU if it sees a GPU - Bitcoin Miner in Power Saving mode will always allocate work to the most efficient device.
