Windows 10: do NOT just disable Capability Access Manager due to its high CPU usage!!

This thread over here asking about why Capability Access Manager using so much CPU resources, tbh I still don't know why. But I am here to say do NOT use that solution by just disabling the service. Since that thread is locked, I hope this post would gain more visibility.After disabling that service, everything seems to be working fine until you restarted not shutdown and reboot in case you have fastboot enabled, to check this just see task manager->performance the graph one->cpu->up time. Some minor things might broke and there's very little chance you could find the exact causat

Capability Access Manager

Hi Jelani Moonah，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Regarding the random behavior of the Capability Access Manager when recording audio, it's possible that there are underlying factors contributing to this inconsistency. Here are some potential reasons and suggestions to consider:

1. Resource Availability: The time taken for the Capability Access Manager to appear may be influenced by the availability of system resources. If your system is under heavy load, it could affect the time it takes for the manager to process and display the recorded audio.
   
   • Suggestion: Try monitoring your system's resource usage (CPU, memory, disk) during the audio recording process to see if there are any spikes or limitations that could be contributing to the delays.
     
2. Background Processes: Other background processes running on your computer could potentially impact the performance of the Capability Access Manager and its ability to handle and display the recorded audio in a timely manner.
   
   • Suggestion: Consider reviewing and minimizing other running applications and background processes while recording audio to see if it affects the appearance time of the Capability Access Manager.
     
3. Software or Driver Issues: It's possible that there may be software or driver-related issues affecting the Capability Access Manager's performance. Outdated or incompatible drivers, as well as software conflicts, could lead to unpredictable behavior.
   
   • Suggestion: Ensure that your audio drivers are up to date and compatible with your operating system. You may also want to consider reinstalling or updating the audio recording software you are using to see if it improves the consistency of the Capability Access Manager's appearance.
     
4. System Configuration: Certain system configurations or settings, such as power management settings, might impact the performance of audio recording and the appearance of the Capability Access Manager.
   
   • Suggestion: Check your power management settings and ensure that they are optimized for performance rather than power saving. You can also review other system settings related to audio recording to ensure they are properly configured.
     

Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.

Task Manager High CPU Usage

I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).

 

Windows Explorer high CPU Usage in Windows 10

Hi Andrew,

Usually, too many background processes can boost your CPU usage. Since you already disabled the apps that are not necessary on startup,
we suggest checking the applications running once you have successfully boot Windows 10. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• Click on the Start button and type Task Manager on the search box.
• On the Task Manager window, you should see the programs running.
• Click on the More details drop-down button to see the total number of apps running and their real-time CPU usage.

From there, you should see what applications are running on high CPU usage. You can also
restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service and see if your CPU performance will improve. Follow the instructions below to restart the service:

• Click on the Start button and type Services.
• Scroll down the list and look for Windows Management Instrumentation.
• Right click on it and select Restart.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.
