    Fixing wsappx high memory and CPU usage


    I recently had to move my Users folder from my C:\ drive SSD to the D:\ drive HDD as I was running out of disk pace. I did the move in safe mode by using robocopy without following links and then creating a junction to the D:\ drive. I was faced with three issues straight after restarting normally into Win10 Pro.


    1. The start menu stopped working - this I fixed with re-installing the Windows store apps in powershell -

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}

    2. The search box near the start menu was un-responsive - I fixed this by resetting Cortana

    3. Memory and CPU hogging by wsappx - this is the crux of this question.


    As can be seen below, wsappx is consuming loads of memory - the CPU usage does peter off after a while, though it still a concern. I mentioned the manner in which I rejuvenated the start menu by running the powershell command Get-AppXPackage and was wondering whether this may be related PS: the command ran for a while and did complete.

    wsappx high CPU usage

    Didn't work. Also, it's not disk usage or memory usage, it's my CPU. And as I stated in my post, I already tried gpedit & I already disabled my windows store-app.

    Also, my pagefile is about 10,000mb.
