Windows 10: Services and controller app very high cpu usage

Whenever i start up my laptop already doing that in clean boots, i open the task manager and in the first 3 minutes all goes well. Until the services and controller app keeps on rising and ends up taking around 80-90% of the cpu, resulting in a total of 100% cpu usage combined with other programs. I also can't type in the start menu, but that's the second issue i want to focus on. When at 100% of the cpu, the laptop is awfully slow. In some cases, it is the system interrups that uses the majority of the cpu, sometimes even 100%. What can i do to get this solved?

Dell inspiron 15 5567

Services and Controller app Random High CPU usage.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



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



Disclaimer: Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue.
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 perform a clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



In order to get clarity and to assist you further, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?
• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type winver in Windows search/Run command)
• What is the make and model of the PC?

We await your response.

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

Windows Explorer high CPU Usage in Windows 10

Hi Andrew,

Usually, too many background processes can boost your CPU usage. Since you already disabled the apps that are not necessary on startup,
we suggest checking the applications running once you have successfully boot Windows 10. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• Click on the Start button and type Task Manager on the search box.
• On the Task Manager window, you should see the programs running.
• Click on the More details drop-down button to see the total number of apps running and their real-time CPU usage.

From there, you should see what applications are running on high CPU usage. You can also
restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service and see if your CPU performance will improve. Follow the instructions below to restart the service:

• Click on the Start button and type Services.
• Scroll down the list and look for Windows Management Instrumentation.
• Right click on it and select Restart.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.
