Windows 10: issue with msedgewebview2.exe

i have a problem, 2-3 days ago, i wanted to get high internet speed on utorrent, and i saw that msedgewebview2.exe was taking some internet, i ended its task, but it would start back up, but then, i opened its file location and i renamed the file to prevent it from restarting. it worked, but now my cursor is looking like its trying to load something and it happens again and again on loop, but msedgewebview2.exe, which i changed the name of, windows renamed it back to msedgewebview2.exe and also created a msedgewebview2.exe.sig file next to it, but it still wouldnt show up in task manager like

I had the same issue.

Between 4 and 5% used by msedgewebview2.exe even with widgets disabled.

my 5900x was at 73°c (sometimes near 80°c)

I switched the Windows display language from French (France) to English (United States) then logged out and logged in.

Now it's OK even with widgets enabled.

Temperature is normal 33/34°c

Thank you Nikolay for this work around

 

Msedgewebview2.exe Malfunction

Hello, I have updated my computer today and I have seen that in the task manager it shows that the windows widgets are consuming 31% of the CPU power.

This is the msedgewebview2.exe program. I've tried disabling it from the Registry Editor, but I can't find the TaskbarDa. I tried reformatting the computer and that was fine until the update was reinstalled.

I have Windows 11.

Thanks a lot.
