    Widget Windows using CPU


    Dear!For a few days now, after booting in Windows 11, process "Windows Widget" consumes CPU in background ~25% on my Intel i7-8550U, making my PC hot and kicking on the fans.Until now, every time I start my PC, I kill the "Windows Widget" task in task manager.Unfortunately, "Windows Widget" is not considered as a UWP app that I could uninstall/reinstall or reset easily through the system settings, the reason why I am asking for your help.My PC is an HP Spectre x360 13-ae0xx, sold with Win10 and updated to Win11 through Windows Update in december. No problem since that time.Thank you for your

    :)

    Weird floating Youtube widget, how to stop it?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I had checked that. This is Windows doing this. I don't think a chrome extension could know the CPU usage, and it's definitely (proven now) that it was only happening during > 95% cpu usage. It was like Windows was thinking "I can't guarantee I can reliably render these youtube videos while the CPU is being slammed so much". It's an admirable thing that it cares about my entertainment experience, but I'd rather it limited the CPU hog task(s) to help me, rather than randomly pausing the video instead and offering me a control widget.
