Windows 10: Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry keeps causing high memory usage when the laptop is turned...

I don't know what's happening, but it's really frustrating because a few times I didn't notice, and then I play a game, and suddenly it crashes due to a memory leak. How do I fix this?

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.

 

Turn off automatic driver update and SmartScreen causing high disk and memory usage

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

I suggest you to turn off the device installation settings first and then uninstall the touchpad driver. You can follow the steps to from my previous post and turn off device installation settings. Follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall the
touchpad driver:

1. Press and hold Windows + X on the keyboard.
   
2. Click on Device manager.
   
3. Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
   
4. Right click on the Touchpad driver and click on Uninstall.
   
5. Restart the computer.
   

Regarding High Disk and Memory usage, I would suggest you to post a screen shot of the Task Manager when Microsoft Edge is running, so that we can determine which service is causing the issue. Please refer
how to include a screenshot in your postto
upload the screenshot.

Note: Make sure you don’t capture any personal information while taking the screenshot.


Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
