  1. appXSCV has high CPU usage. Turn off in Privacy>Background Apps


    This issue has been pointed out but mixed inside a bunch of posts. In the latest fast ring build 19476, it is worse and does not stop on its own. The major symptom is that the screen cursor on the desktop will flash a blue ring every second or two. Also the CPU usage is up around 8-10% while just idling. Task manager shows that the wsappx> appXSCV is using up the CPU cycles.
    The solution is to turn off the Background Apps in the privacy button in settings. I think the new builds turn it back on every time there is an update in the fast ring.

    here is the tutorial:

  2. Data Usage Limit setting option is not showing up in Settings App

    My data usage has spiked upwards tremendously since updating to Windows 10, with resulting overage charges by my ISP. I have reviewed other queries and responses to increased data usage, and have consequently turned off most of my apps that I do not use
    and turned on the Metered Connection. I turned off apps by going to Start->Settings->Privacy->Background Apps and click on the button to turn them on or off. To turn on the Metered Connection go to Settings->Network->Wifi-.>Advanced Options-> Data Usage->Data
    Details. I then went to the Windows Update section, and it appears that Windows 10 will not automatically do updates when the Metered Connection is turned on. Is this correct?

  3. Why is Photos.exe running at over 80% CPU on Windows 10 PC

    Open Start > Settings > Privacy > Background apps

    Toggle off Photos and it should not run in the background using up CPU cycles.
