Windows 10: Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process High CPU usage

In Task Manager -> Processes, "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process" is using a lot of CPU time. It's at 5 or 6% after a reboot, but the more time that goes by, and the more I go into standby and come out, the higher the utilization goes.


This is a new problem, but I was having it before this most recent windows update.


There is a question from 2017 that has this same title, but that question is locked, and this seems to be different.


I have not installed anything recently - some things on the web say to reinstall drivers - but which drivers should I reinstall?


Windows 10 Home

Version 2004


Help!

Windows Driver Foundation and Services and Controller App High CPU Usage

I too am experiencing a high CPU usage, sometimes going over 40%, due to the "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Processes" process. I've used all the 4 methods you have given above to troubleshoot this issue, but none of them have
reported any problems or corruption issues with my system files.

Here is the surprising thing. I tried to determine the underlying cause of the high CPU usage from this process by shutting down all applications and seeing which one caused an abnormal spike in the CPU usage. I used task manager to help me track changes
in CPU percentage usage. The surprising part is that with no processes running the CPU is very low, but just the simple act of moving my mouse around results in CPU jumping up virtually right away. If I move the mouse in small on-screen increments, CPU climbs
up to about 5 to 10%. Rapid and large on-screen increments in the movement of the mouse leads to the bigger jumps I had referred to earlier.

I have a recent install of Windows 10, Version 10.0.14393.0 so I'm assuming I have the most up-to-date mouse and other drivers installed.

 

Windows Driver Foundation and Services and Controller App High CPU Usage

I have high CPU usage (30%) issue on my Windows 10 OS because of two processes below:

Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Processes

Services and Controller App

The file location of Windows Driver Foundation is System32 folder with the name of 'WUDF Host'.

The file location of the Services and Controller App is also System 32 with the name of 'services'.

I've tried to disable all services except belongs to Microsoft from Msconfig and restart, but problem didn't solved.

I've tried to contact and solve my problem via Microsoft Call Center Support but they couldn't manage and offer me to pay and buy a package to get remote desktop connection to solve the problem. It's so sad to hear that I need to pay to get support to solve
my problem. Seems like Microsoft promised supports are limited to make customer pay more to sell package.

Please help me about my issue,

Thanks in advance.
