    Host Process for Windows Service using Microphone all the time....


    Hello,

    I have been having troubles with my Bluetooth headphones playing regular audio when selected stereo function vs. AG- Hands free. And I narrowed down the issue to being that a process is constantly using the microphone and so the audio is not out-putting. I figure this out because the only way to get the stereo function to work is to turn off all use of the microphones. I will attach screenshots.

    Anyway, I noticed the Host Process for windows is always using the microphone... and so I am trying to figure out how to turn that off specially that without having to turn off the whole use of the microphone. Because I still need other things to be able to use the microphone when they turn on like zoom. Also, I went through and made sure all of Cortana is turned off, but maybe I am missing something in that part.

    Here are screenshots that might help explain the issue.

    Windows update and Service host process

    Hi.

    Can anyone tell me:

    • Why is the process 'Service host: Network Service, Delivery Optimization' running constantly 24/7, hogging 30% of processing power and how do I stop it?

    And

    • Is this somehow linked to the fact that neither windows 10 update or its trouble shooter appear to be working? windows 10 appears to be permanently checking for updates.

    I'm Running a brand new HP laptop, i5 processor and 8Gb Ram with windows 10 64bit (1903). This has only started happening in the last week or so

    Thanks
