Description
### Steps to reproduce
I've only seen this happen once, so I'm not sure how much help it'll be, but I figured I should report it anyway.
My Intel iMac is usually quiet, but the fans had been running at a low speed for an hour or so. Eventually I looked in Activity Monitor and found that "ShipIt" was using 99% CPU.
I did Inspect Process on ShipIt, and under Open Files I could see that it had some Element files open. I then quit Element, which didn't make ShipIt go away.
Next, I quit (not force quit) ShipIt via Activity Monitor. This made Element start up again. Quitting it a second time resulted in the fans spinning back down, and I've subsequently opened Element again and it's still being quiet.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
I don't know what ShipIt is, but I wouldn't expect it to use 99% CPU for an extended period.
