Windows 10: What is Connected Devices Platform User Service_2caf5eaf and how to disable it

Whilst I do somewhat understand what is Connected Devices Platform Service and I disabled it I found out also Connected Devices Platform User Service_2caf5eaf. I couldn't find any information about this on the internet. Why am I even bothered by this? Every time I startup computer my network usage goes trough the roof and I can't do anything on the internet before it sorts itself out. It has been going on for several weeks now and I would like to get rid of it in all honesty. I also cannot disable it in the Services tab. I stopped it and I tried setting it to manual or disabled out of which ne

CONNECTED DEVICES PLATFORM USER SERVICE

For some reason, the fan on my CPU is constantly running extremely high. When I check my CPU usage in Task Manager, the problem seems to be with the Connected Devices Platform User Service_48125c.
I was under the impression that this task started with the computer startup, but then turned off. That's obviously not happening here.

What is this problem and how do I fix it?

Thanks for the help.

 

Connected Devices Platform Service - What does it do?


I have the same error. Not finding a lot about it. I noticed when doing web searches, a lot of people have "Connected Device Platform" instead of "Connected Devices Platform".

I did come across these bits of information:

Connected Device Platform Service (CDPSvc) Defaults in Windows 10
Connected Device Platform Service (CDPSvc) Defaults in Windows 10

on this page, it says this service is disabled by default on Windows 10 version 1511.

Connected Devices Platform Service - Windows 10 Service
Connected Devices Platform Service - Windows 10 Service - batcmd.com

it says this new Windows 10 service is disabled by default in all Windows 10 v1511 editions, but set to automatic in v1607 (Anniversary Update).

I've checked 3 laptops (1-Home, 2-Pro) and 1 desktop (Pro). The 3 laptops are on version 1511 and all 3 have this service disabled. However, on the desktop, the only PC upgraded to the Anniversary Update (version 1607), it's set to automatic delayed start. I know the laptops haven't been touched, so that's definitely the default in version 1511.

I think the default has been changed to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" in version 1607 since that's what I'm seeing on my PC. Still don't know exactly what this service is for except the description:

"This service is used for Connected Devices and Universal Glass scenarios"

Someone here said it was "associated with Bluetooth, or Printers & Scanners as well as music players, storage devices, mobile phones, cameras, and many other types of connected devices.".

A Twitter thread here:
WalkingCat on Twitter:

mentions "Xbox/SmarGlass stuff" and "Project Rome".

I don't have bluetooth or wireless on my desktop and don't have any kind of "connected devices" besides printers, scanners, and external USB stick/hard drives. I disabled the service and rebooted, no more 7023 errors. Everything still seems to be working fine.

 

Connected Devices Platform Service - What does it do?


Nobody really knows, it is not like MS shares info with users, but as suggested above, it is most likely related to touch devices. Those devices cost as much as a car, so if you do not have them, most likely, you can safely disable them.
