    Groove Music taking 50-60% of CPU in task manager


    As the title says, while playing music the Groove Music in task manager is taking up 50-60% of my CPU. I doubt it is supposed to be this much does anyone have any suggestions?

    :)

    High disk activity when using Groove Music

    Same issue here. Groove Music seems to insist on touching all my music files when running. This used to cause MsMpEng.exe to go crazy as it scanned all mp3 files. I have since added mp3 files to the file types to be ignored by Windows Defender (I hope malware
    usually doesn't hide out in mp3's..).

    BUT: even in this case, I notice that Groove Music will touch all files when it's open, and while this happens 'runtime broker' drives the CPU usage to 50-80%, killing the battery life on my Surface 3. Opening the Resource Monitor (from Task Manager > Performance
    tab) I see that hundreds of mp3 files are being 'read'. Quitting Groove Music stops this and drops CPU use back down to acceptable levels (a few percent). I basically can't use Groove Music like this.

    Not sure if this matters, but I have my music stored in my OneDrive folder, but at the moment this was happening I had quit the OneDrive Desktop app.

    Windows 10 on Laptop - unknown programs taking large CPU time

    Fom time to time the program WAH2m3m2t_um_8.12 (2 identical entries in Task Manager) is taking in excess of 50% (sometimes over 90%) of CPU time on my dual core Laptop. What is this program?

    Groove Music taking 50-60% of CPU in task manager

    I just noticed this too. It seems to need alot of work and it seems like a dull music app right now. I'm going to use something else until the buff this up some more.
