Thanks a lot,

I do not understand your command dpkg-statoverride --update --remove
/usr/bin/gjs-console

This is the process that takes 100% of the CPU
/usr/bin/gjs-console -I /usr/share/gnome-documents/js -c const
SearchProvider = imports.shellSearchProvider; SearchProvider.start();

The problem is related to gnome-documents which I think is a kind of crawler:
 GNOME Documents is a standalone application to find, organize and
view your documents.

I tried to remove gnome-documents but gnome depends on gnome-documents.

The solution will be to create a script that is executed in the
startup of gnome and does a killall gjs-console.
