What is Windows Wireless LAN 802.11 Extensibility Framework and why is it using 25% of my CPU

Greetings,

Hi, I'm Anuraag, an Independent Windows Advisor and a Microsoft customer. I'd be happy to look into this for you.

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I hope you are doing well.

Now, coming to your query,

Lan 802.11:

Different WiFi adapter drivers communicate with Windows' wireless security and connection capabilities through an interface called the Windows Wireless LAN 82.11 Extensibility Framework.

This framework will occasionally use more CPU than usual, but if it does so for an extended period, if it's happening all time, you can end the process and restart the PC. If you see it happening post-restart, I suggest you check the OS version first and then reinstall the Wireless Driver; that'll take care of the issue.

I will give a detailed step in my following comment.

Regards,
