COM Surrogate using too much CPU, Thumbnail and Icon problem.


Hey guys i've been using Windows 10 for almost a month now, and I'm having some issues with it at the moment. I have too much videos and picture for work, that most thumbnail just won't load or generate.

Issues:

• Thumbnail not generating
• This PC/My Computer keeps loading and saying "Working on it" (File Explorer)
• High CPU usage for COM Surrogate, using 10% of my CPU all the time.

The way to solve it for me at the moment is killing the COM Surrogate process. But I'm looking for a permanent fix, which doesn't involve me killing the process all the time.

Killing the process of COM Surrogate will make:

• Thumbnail and icon to generate (although sometimes it still doesn't)
• This PC/My Computer instantly loads properly, without it saying "Working on it"

Any solution guys?

Your player is incompatible with your system. I just solved this issue by uninstalling 32 bit VLC Player and installing 64 bit version.
