    Diagnostic Policy Service is Taking up CPU


    Recently I noticed my idle CPU usage was way higher than it should be. I then noticed that some windows services were taking up that CPU usage at high amounts. I tried disabling them, but they still do it, what do I do?

    Diagnostic Policy Service - high CPU

    HP laptop problem
    In the last few days, this laptop started having poor performance, with Task manager showing Diagnostic Policy Service taking up to 30% or more of CPU.

    Did upgrade of BIOS, no improvement.
    Downloaded all current windows upgrades – no fix.
    I created a new (admin) user, same problem.
    I ran all of the diagnostics in the HP Support Assistant, all passed – no effect.
    I ran "sfc /scannow." and "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" – no effect.

    There is an online thread on this in the HP forums, which does not seem to show any fix.

    The HP support is abysmal – it took several minutes for him to echo back “so this is your computer system?”, and then the only suggestion was a factory reset.

    Diagnostic Policy Service is Taking up CPU

    Consistent CPU Usage by Service Host : Diagnostic Policy Service


    Hello Guys,

    I'm using Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit. After the latest Windows update in Feb 2018, I've been experiencing consistent CPU Usage (13-14%) by a Windows Process (Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service).

    I can't figure out why is this process taking CPU usage every time even when the system is idle. *Huh

    I tried to limit its startup, by changing its startup type to Manual, but this went in vain.

    A screenshot has been added to make it more clear.

    Any tips or tweaks regarding this?

    Thanks
