    Problem with Cryptographic Services causing major issues with Twitch streams


    Been having this problem for a while where Cryptographic services using 25%+ of my CPU and when this happens, it "inadvertently?" is causing major problems with Firefox streaming from Twitch, it seems to either block or prevent the stream video coming down properly and repeatedly causes the stream to time out, yet when I stop the service, everything works just fine so I'm unsure what to do about preventing it from causing issues as it restarts itself every so often and when it's back, my streams die again. Cryptographic services doesn't seem to be working properly as it is just causing problems, I'd like to lower it's CPU impact but that is only because when I stop it, streams work properly again. I'd prefer not to kill it off permanently as I'm sure Microsoft put it there for a reason, but the effect it is having on being able to use streams is killing the ability to see them, which is obviously not what it should be doing. I have tried a few suggestions but would prefer to allow it to do whatever job it is supposed to do WHEN it is supposed to do it, not like it is now where it is just causing problems.

    :)

    Gllitchy Cryptographic services or twitch desktop


    So I've been monitoring a minor glitch or annoyance with certain applications, Battlenet app is one and twitch desktop. I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

    I see the Windows Cryptographic service hitting the CPU a little more than it's supposed to and this causes the battlenet app and twitch to sort of spin ( I can launch games and stuff still) but the advertisements , videos and other content is just not there.

    Once I stop the Windows Cryptographic service, things start working normally like they should. After a few hours the problem repeats and I have to once again stop the service or exit the applications causing the issue. One other fun fact:: I can exit the twitch desktop application and cryptographic services goes back to normal operating processes so I've been doing that now instead of stoping cryptographic services. When the problem happens It seems to hit the CPU about 10% though soon as I launch the twitch desktop which refuses to let me login. I've also tried re-installing twitch desktop numerous times and it does not help the issue.

    I can find no logs and nothing in event viewer to identify the problem.

    If anyone has any information, I'd be glad to hear. Windows updates are up to date and I've tried reloading windows several times but this keeps happening.

    All drivers are also up to date.,

    Hardware:

    Motherboard:ASUS Maximus Hero X
    CPU: Intel I7 8700K
    GPU: ASUS ROG 1080-GTX-TI (3 fan OC version)
    RAM 32GB of Corsair Vengenance DDR4 RAM
    PSU: 1200 watt Coolermaster
    SSD: Samsung EVO 960 1TB M.2



    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Update: I did a complete re-install of Blizzard Battlenet app and it hasn't been doing this as often. The biggest problem now is TWITCH desktop, I've tried both beta and live versions of twitch desktop and it still happens.

    I've also tried to isolate the problem using the application Process monitor but could not find any information valueable that lead to me believe there is an error or problem with the service.

    I've also run through SFC /scannow and found no corruption. Other than this my hardware is working just perfectly fine

    :/

    Thank you, but the issue is I am not getting any errors in any of the applications that are affected by this. I tried a few things including SFC /SCANNOW and it found some corruption, fixed them but yet this problem still persists.

    I checked dxdiag and it's not showing any problems. I Press F12 while loading the twitch Desktop and can see time-outs occuring while cryptographic services is "freaking out" but soon as I stop it, the connection is made. I see the publishers certificate but have no idea what cert store but it appears valid and trusted and has a valid signer so I don't think it's the providers cert by any means. I tried contacting twitch interactive about it but I got nothing but silence from them on it.

    Since Twitch is causing the problem, Amazon owns it. The problems with Twitch have been known for a very long time.
