I have 6 systems at home, and systems at work, and none have the issue. Only one of those has an SSD.

It works just fine on millions of computers. What you need to figure out is why your particular setup is causing issues.

Start with a clean install and don't add anything and see how it goes. If still issues then it may be something hardware related.

It's completely amature programming by Microsoft. They must test this on a bare bones system. Works so ship it. Well it doesn't work on machines that are actually used for something.

Windows started running by itself, his own set of software at full computer resources

When do we work ? On what O.S. can we work ?

How can we stop this ?

No matter how much money we pay on super computers and RAM, Microsoft can fill all with own tasks

Hi guys.

I also tried out this solution some month ago but it seems to not work definitively.

For a unknown reason, the mentioned task backs to "Enable" again after a period.

I'm not able to understand the process that controls and restarts the task: may be Windows Update, may be another watchdog service.

Bye.
