Windows 10: WSAPPX, appx deployment services --- using too much of cpu ? tried msedit.msc but is not...

How can I disable windows store without having MSEDIT.MSC ?

:)

 

I give up. How do you kill wsappx (2)


The preceding URL for the Tech 2 Seeks reference is broken. Because it's a good reference, I provide a (hopefully) working version here: What Is WSAPPX And High CPU Load Solution (Working) With Appx Deployment Service - Tech 2 Seeks.

wsappx is using 50% of the CPU

Hi,

Wsappx is a Windows Store program that is trawling your computer for all installed apps and telling Microsoft what programs you have, what versions etc. If it’s using more than 50% of your CPU and causes trouble on your
device, we would recommend that you disable it. You may follow these steps:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Look for Administrative Tools.
• Select Computer Management then Services, you will see this entry:
  
  Windows Store Service (WSService) "Provides infrastructure..." [Status is blank] "Manual (Trigger Start)" "Local System"
• Now you may disable it.

Feel free to contact us if you have further inquiries.

 

High CPU Usage at Idle


Hi, wsappax is related to Store apps (universal apps).

I'm wondering why explorer is using so much CPU time.

System and Compressed memory should normally be using negligible CPU time.

Presumably Defender (Antimalware) is active 'cos of other activity.

2-3% CPU use in Safe Mode is high... can you post a screenshot of your task manager in Safe Mode?

wsappax:
If you expand the selection, one, two or even three Windows services are listed: Windows Store Service (WSService), Client License Service (ClipSVC) and AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC).

AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC)
Provides infrastructure support for deploying Store applications. This service is started on demand and if disabled Store applications will not be deployed to the system, and may not function properly.

Client License Service (ClipSVC)
Provides infrastructure support for the Microsoft Store. This service is started on demand and if disabled applications bought using Windows Store will not behave correctly.

Windows Store Service (WSService)
Provides infrastructure support for Windows Store. This service is started on demand and if disabled applications bought using Windows Store will not behave correctly.

====================================
You have 0 internet activity, so this is nothing to do with app updates.
A quick search on wsappx and CPU use does not suggest an immediate solution. I've found nothing on this forum on wsappx.

Have you recently installed any new apps since this became apparent?
Do you have a system restore point created before this started, or a disk image you can revert to?
(We strongly and repeatedly recommend disk imaging e.g. Macrium reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage).

Can you try a clean boot, then post a screenshot of your task manager?
