When PhpStorm starts, it starts to endlessly create CLI (php icon) processes that do not close, each of which weighs about 6 megabytes. This leads to a complete depletion of RAM after a few minutes.
What could this be related to?
At startup, no project opens by default — only a dialog box with recent projects opens.
It's decided. It was in my Windows terminal. I made a mistake in the alias syntax, which led to an endless restart of the CLI wherever it was used.
