Windows 10: Why System & Compressed Memory is using 20% cpu ?

I noticed the C P U fan spinning @ 5950 rpm and decided to consult the task manager.
The System & Compressed Memory is using 20% of the cpu. Why ?
Thank you.

System and Compressed Memory Service High CPU Usage

Solved: 'System and Compressed Memory Service' process High CPU Usage

After upgrading to Windows 10 on July 29, 2016 (ok, I'm a procrastinator, alright?) I noticed a process called 'system and compressed memory' that was eating up 18-19% of my CPU non-stop. Searched and found several 'solutions', none of which worked (drivers,
BIOS, Registry hacks, Settings, etc.).

I started killing processes one by one and discovered the process 'speech runtime executable' to be the culprit. When I killed it, CPU usage for 'system and compressed memory' went to zero.

However, after killing the 'speech runtime executable' I could no longer talk to Cortana (Hey Cortana). Oh well. At least I got my system back.

All I have to do is click the 'O' in Quick Launch on the Task Bar and then type or just click the Mic in the bottom right corner to talk to Cortana. Works fine. But after you talk to her that 'speech runtime executable' process shows up again and the 'system
and compressed memory' process is pegged back at 19% CPU again.

Once you kill the 'speech runtime executable' process, the CPU usage for the 'system and compressed memory' process goes back to zero.

Note that this has nothing to do with the process called 'Cortana'. I left that alone.

Microsoft needs to address this major flaw with Cortana. I'm not giving up 20% of my CPU just so she can listen for commands.

 

Hi, this has been discussed a number of times, and you will find useful information if you search the forum using the white search box above and enter
System & Compressed Memory

There is no one answer- several have been noted, so I can't tell you definitively, I'm afraid.

You'll find a couple of answers common to some, and you'll find some struggling with technical analysis to try to identify what's happening in their particular case.

Please make a note of what you try, and post back either that or what worked for you if you find a solution. Good luck.

 

System & Compressed Memory is a not a process that can be ended on the task manager (disable for this process) ;
for a couple of hours this process occupied 24% , then by itself (I have not closed any application) it went nearly to zero ; a couple of minutes ago I realized the cpu fan was in high rotation once again and there it was syst. and comp. mem. using 24%.
I noticed that many people has the trouble of ram memo overuse but not CPU. Thank you for your post.

 

See this thread where one person actually fixed his high system usage:

Hi, I never suggested trying to end that process. I did point you to how you can find threads that contain answers people have found. Here's the search I recommended... please try it.

 

Hi , I know you did not suggest to end this process and I did not state you did it. Perhaps we misunderstood each other.
Thank you very much.

 

No problem.. in those threads you will find links to collections of info I've posted which may help.
