Windows 10: Services and controller app taking up a lot of CPU usage

I have had this before and restored my computer to a recovery point but it keeps coming back. I know there is already a theat about this subject but it doesnt help me. I have tried to clean boot my PC but that didnt work. With booting it up in safe mode it does go away but that still doesnt help me.


Can i end the task or will my computer then break?

How do I fix this?


FYI here are my PC specs:

GTX 1050 ti 4 gb

AMD Atholon x4-845 quad core

16 GB ram ddr3

1TB HDD

Services and Controller app causing 100% CPU Usage

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that Services and Control app is causing 100% CPU Usage. I’ll help you with this issue.



Upon researching, I found that few of our customers were also facing High CPU usage with Services and Controller app and this was caused by an application named “Segurazo”, which turns out to be a third party anti-virus software.



They were able to resolve the issue by uninstalling the application. I would suggest you to refer the suggestions by

Services and Controller app Random High CPU usage.

Hi,

We understand your concern, as the Services and Controller app process is taking high CPU usage. We looked in to this and would suggest you to the PC in clean boot status and then check the CPU usage for Services and Controller app process. If the
result is positive, then we need to check which app is guiding the Services and Controller app process to high CPU usage.



Restart the computer by using a clean startup

Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer. However, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article

How to control CPU usage of Sensor Services

Hello,
.
I have a little netbook/tablet with 2G of RAM. I found these services taking up a total of 40% to over 50% of my CPU's resources They are neccessary for things like sensing rotation (using as a tablet) and other things. They are:

• Sensor Service
• Sensor Data Service
• Sensor Monitoring Service

Can I configure the CPU usage or sensor frequency without disabling the service?
