Windows 10: Since Windows 10 Update KB4512941 My CPU runs at 100% for no reason!

Every since I installed the Windows 10 Update KB4512941 my computer, randomly, forces my CPU to run at 100%. This is now damaging my Alienware Aurora R7, in that when it happens, while playing games like WoW, it is creating a damaging sound like shorting out my sound card.

I have overlooked this, so far, but as I have stated, it now appears this update problem may be causing damage to my gaming rig. This is unacceptable.

Windows Search Error Win10 update (KB4512941)

From what I got as feedback KB4512941 seems to disable the GPOs. Beside to the other article linked above, I've created another blog post.

Windows 10 V1903: High CPU load from
Cortana, Search broken, blame August 2019 Updates

I've mentioned some workarounds within my blog post. I will escalate this thread to Microsoft's moderators - hopefully they forward it to the developers. We have at least now 3 known issue:

1. Windows Desktop search won't work, if Bing-Search is disabled.
2. The Search GPOs are now non functional (as reported above)
3. Cortana causes a high CPU load (100 % on one core)

 

Windows 10 Search bar bugged after KB4512941 update

In addition to the previous poster - I've described the bug and workarounds since the update was released to Insider Previews.

Windows 10 V1903 Update KB4512941: Workaround for the Cortana high CPU load issue

Windows 10 V1903: High CPU load from Cortana, Search broken, blame August 2019 Updates

But the best solution, if you don't depend on that update: Uninstall kb4512941 and avoid a reinstall (the update is optional, so no
autoinstall is force).

BTW: I've escalated the bug to Microsoft moderators and asked to forward it to the developers.
