Windows 10: CONNECTED DEVICES PLATFORM USER SERVICE

For some reason, the fan on my CPU is constantly running extremely high. When I check my CPU usage in Task Manager, the problem seems to be with the Connected Devices Platform User Service_48125c. I was under the impression that this task started with the computer startup, but then turned off. That's obviously not happening here.


What is this problem and how do I fix it?


Thanks for the help.

@glnz CDP is used for Xbox and such (from what I've seen). Check your services, and if it is set to Automatic, set it to Manual. This seems to eliminate 99% of the errors. Worth a try.

Don't want to necro or anything but I actually found out why that service won't start.Go to settings>privacy>general here most of you guys like me turned off "let apps on my other devices open apps and continue experiences on this device".This is what the service "Connected devices platform service" is connected to.If you turn that setting in Settings to on the service will work without an issue.I personally just disabled the service since it was like that in the 1511 build and I don't plan to use this.

 

Connected Devices Platform Service - What does it do?


I have the same error. Not finding a lot about it. I noticed when doing web searches, a lot of people have "Connected Device Platform" instead of "Connected Devices Platform".

I did come across these bits of information:

Connected Device Platform Service (CDPSvc) Defaults in Windows 10
Connected Device Platform Service (CDPSvc) Defaults in Windows 10

on this page, it says this service is disabled by default on Windows 10 version 1511.

Connected Devices Platform Service - Windows 10 Service
Connected Devices Platform Service - Windows 10 Service - batcmd.com

it says this new Windows 10 service is disabled by default in all Windows 10 v1511 editions, but set to automatic in v1607 (Anniversary Update).

I've checked 3 laptops (1-Home, 2-Pro) and 1 desktop (Pro). The 3 laptops are on version 1511 and all 3 have this service disabled. However, on the desktop, the only PC upgraded to the Anniversary Update (version 1607), it's set to automatic delayed start. I know the laptops haven't been touched, so that's definitely the default in version 1511.

I think the default has been changed to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" in version 1607 since that's what I'm seeing on my PC. Still don't know exactly what this service is for except the description:

"This service is used for Connected Devices and Universal Glass scenarios"

Connected Device Platform Service
Connected Device Platform Service

Someone here said it was "associated with Bluetooth, or Printers & Scanners as well as music players, storage devices, mobile phones, cameras, and many other types of connected devices.".

A Twitter thread here:
WalkingCat on Twitter:

mentions "Xbox/SmarGlass stuff" and "Project Rome".

I don't have bluetooth or wireless on my desktop and don't have any kind of "connected devices" besides printers, scanners, and external USB stick/hard drives. I disabled the service and rebooted, no more 7023 errors. Everything still seems to be working fine.
