Power Query - CPU usage very high (microsoft.mashup.Container.Loader.exe)

I am running a relatively simple power query on 3 CSV files. Every time I load I see 3 or 4 instances of Microsoft.Mashup.Container.Loader.exe in my task window. Usually there is a spike in CPU usage to 100% and the RAM usage is very high. CPU usage will drop IF the query is not actively refreshing. I have already disabled the "Allow data previews to download in the background" option. This option was turned off before opening the table. How do I fix this? Are there other settings that I need to change?
