Windows 10: Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry AppCrash

I guess this is not a new question and apologise in advance if I am repeating it but I failed to unearth anything helpful through Search:
I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 one month ago. Reliability Monitor, which I run every day, has advised me three times since May 22nd that Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry stopped working. The application name is CompatTelRunner.exe at C:\Windows\System32.
1. What causes it to execute and how often might that be - are the three times so far likely to be its total attempts?
2. Other than suffering its periodic appearance (I am comforted by a straight line 10 in Reliability Monitor), I wonder if there is a simple solution to this matter?

Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility

When I start Xbox on my laptop the whole thing slows to a crawl. Task Manager reveals it is largely due to Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility hogging most of the CPU. This goes on for several minutes and recurs often. I don't especially mind Microsoft
collecting info on my usage, but I would like it to be done in a way that does not impact the performance of my computer. What can I do?

 

Microsoft compatibility telemetry

I have tried to turn it off - to no avail. The closest thing I can equate
Microsoft compatibility telemetry to is spyware. The only thing I can suggest to you is to keep your
Task Manager open at all times, and if you see your disk start to spike, go to the
Task Manager and shut it down. I followed all the instructions on how to stop or remove
Microsoft compatibility telemetry and nothing worked. This the
real price you pay for the free upgrade to Win10.

To Microsoft: show some common decency, or at least some balls and help people solve this. Otherwise you are starting to smell like some third-rate organization run out of Mumbai.

 

Hi Bob,
I have the same problem. CompatTelRunner.exe crashes everyday the tablet is on. The last time it happened was a few minutes ago. Problem reporting always says "No new solutions found. When solutions are available, they will appear in Security and Maintenance."
I have reinstalled Windows from scratch several weeks ago, but it did not make a difference.

I believe I have discovered the cause of the issue and the answer:
Critical Error Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry pointed me to Windows update KB3156421 as the possible culprit. A link there takes you to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 where there is a further link to the Microsoft trouble shooter package. I downloaded and saved wushowhide.diagcab from that site.
Uninstall Windows update KB3156421 and run wushowhide.diagcab to hide the offending update. Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry has not reappeared in Reliability Monitor in six days since hiding KB3156421.

 

Bob,
it looks just like the problem I have. I checked my Windows update history, and found KB3156421. But it is not listed in the installed updates in the control panel uninstall updates area. So I downloaded the wushowhide.diagcab in the hope it would allow me to force it to show in the uninstall list, but the diagcab did not find anything, it only manages what is shown or hidden from the Windows mandatory update.

I wonder why 'Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\View update history' shows the update but 'Installed Updates' does not? I regret I cannot answer that question. I do hope that if you ask that question specifically elsewhere, someone might be able to help in order for you to make progress.
