Windows 10: Compattelrunner- make it stop!

Is there any way to dial down compattelrunner? It loves to run and run and run, chewing up my HDD when it's most inconvenient for me in the middle of other tasks. I get it's a part of Windows and tied to updates, but geez. Does it have to run so often?

TiWorker, svchost, and CompatTelRunner disk and memory usage problem

Alright, so with a quick check in Task Manager, I noticed that TiWorker, svchost (Local System 17), and CompatTelRunner are using all of system resources (especially CompatTelRunner)! Before you ask, it is
not caused by any malware. I have Malwarebytes Premium installed, along with Windows Defender. I have been watching Task Manager for the past 2 hours, and the three were always at the top, organized by memory and disk usage.





Is there any way I can get these applications to stop using so much memory and disk usage?

Why CompatTelRunner is checking out my C++ source files?

Noticed this with resource monitor, our friend CompatTelRunner was busy checking my .cpp source files. What kind of compatibility it's trying to find? If they are C++11 compatible, or what?

 

Printing stopped with November upgrade

Hey Prestonpdx,

I would suggest you check if the print spooler is running. Start/Stop print spooler service. Follow the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + R, type services.msc
  and press Enter.
  
• 
  From the list, locate Print Spooler service.
  
• 
  Double click on the service and select Stop.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, repeat step 1&2.
  
• 
  Double click on the service and check if the service is started.
