  1. Service CxUtilSvc.exe running and making fans go crazy


    Hello Everybody,

    About a month ago I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on my 1.7 year old Lenovo Flex. All software is current. But the other day (once) I noticed my otherwise quiet fan spinning loud. TaskManager offered CxUtilSvc.exe as the source. I stopped the process (at that time) and that fan action hasn't come back. Even though I see the process is there in TM.

    I checked it against Defender and Malwarebytes and they were kosher. I did some web searching and those notorious sites are all "Download this to remove it."

    CxUtilSvc.exe Windows process - What is it?

    Hmm.

    So I guess I need to know a site that is trustworthy on if I should remove it or leave is there?

    :)

  2. Fan going crazy . . .

    Hi Somebody50, I have a few suggestions that shouldn't be that difficult.

    1) Check for a BIOS update. While you're at the manufacturers website, check for chipset and display drivers or other recommended driver updates. Please ask if you require assistance.

    2) If your PC is still misbehaving after updating drivers, perform a clean boot to determine if any third-party apps are creating or contributing to this fan issue.

    Perform a Clean Boot in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts

    3) Please update your details under "My Computer" and list a model number, cpu and drive info (SSD or HDD).

    4) Check if you have any warranty coverage available.

    There are more tests available if these don't provide sufficient info, one step at a time.

  4. Service CxUtilSvc.exe running and making fans go crazy

    Fan going crazy . . .

    As someone above asked: Yes I check the task manager numerous times when the fan is cycling crazy for anything amiss and never found anything -- this was noted as the first thing in my OP list.

    This is not a gamer machine, it's a "Vivobook," listed around $400, got it for $300 from Amz.

    This fan problem has happened twice before in the last couple of months and returned to normal after a day or so. It has now been okay since the day after my OP.

    In my research the first couple of times this problem popped up, I saw a bunch of stuff about Win updates somehow causing this (quite common) problem. I did not mention that here, as I didn't want to bias anyone's thinking in that direction. If memory serves, something about a ".NET xxxxx" update something or other. Everything was/is set to auto-update but MS can't figure out how to make this happen apparently.

    At any rate, it is okay now but I'm sure it will happen again. Going from past experiences, I totally blame Microsoft and W10 for the problem. I've been using Windows since V. 3.1 in 1994 and although modern versions rarely crash like 3.1 did, they are still riddled with problems: Sometimes the solution is so complex as to be well beyond the average user's ability -- or interest -- to fix. Or the cure is worse than the disease itself and we just live with it.

    And sometimes the problems are unsolvable and the only solution is to wipe out and re-install Windows. That's like buying a new car and six months later the engine won't start, nobody can figure out how to fix it, and the only solution is to install a new engine.

    Ok, "Microsoft-hate rant" over, and thanks to all for the suggestions. If anybody has any knowledge and solutions for the stalled update for some sort of MS file(s) I'd love to hear it.
