COM Surrogate high CPU usage

Hello

I saw many posts for COM surrogate using high CPU but never a case like mine.

Whenever i click end task,it restarts the process but it keeps it low (under 2% CPU)

Then every time i start Windows Media Player,both files go over 25-30% so i end up having COM and Windows Media player using 50-60% of my CPU

How can i fix this ?

 

COM Surrogate using too much CPU, Thumbnail and Icon problem.


Hey guys i've been using Windows 10 for almost a month now, and I'm having some issues with it at the moment. I have too much videos and picture for work, that most thumbnail just won't load or generate.

Issues:

• Thumbnail not generating
• This PC/My Computer keeps loading and saying "Working on it" (File Explorer)
• High CPU usage for COM Surrogate, using 10% of my CPU all the time.

The way to solve it for me at the moment is killing the COM Surrogate process. But I'm looking for a permanent fix, which doesn't involve me killing the process all the time.

Killing the process of COM Surrogate will make:

• Thumbnail and icon to generate (although sometimes it still doesn't)
• This PC/My Computer instantly loads properly, without it saying "Working on it"

Any solution guys?

 

Com surrogate HIGH CPU after using VLC player

After using VLC player I always end up with COM Surrogate still running after I closed VLC and using high memory and CPU.

I read about installing K-lite codecs to solve the problem but that does not make sense since VLC only uses it own codecs.

Any suggestion is very welcome.

Thanks a lot!
