Thanks for documenting this issue. I have the same behavior, where AppXSVC goes crazy, but only in the event a particular user logs in.
Can you clarify - did you delete the user, and then add them back in and that solved it?
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I'll had an issue that wsappx takes all the cpu of one core (ill think its single threaded app).
Have searched the internet and dont found an solution.
just a few hints that a clean boot solved the issue for some but that didnt worked for me.
The issue also just poped up on some users of the machine, some users where fine.
But when the "defect" user has logged in into his account the wsappx goes crazy and dont come down, also when another user takes the local session.
Another issue i have faced was that after logging in, some users facing black screen.
There was a mouse cursor and task manager could be lunched (with ctrl-alt-del) but nothing else showed.
Seemed that explorer stucked in loading.
After googling it turns out that "AppReadiness" (german: App-Vorbereitung) service caused that issue.
After disabling the service the users could logon again.
Here is a thread about the issue and with the workaround: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/SOLVED-For-everyone-who-is-having-black-screen-after-login/td-p/6318990/page/2
Now i have found a solution for this which works for booth issues and solved them!
Just clear the two user accounts (Control Panel - User account - manage other user account).
You must be logged on from another, working user account.
This olved booth issue 100% for two other user accounts without any workaround.
Hope this helps someone with this bad issue!

Yes, delete the User profiles from within "Control Panel - User Accounts" when logged on with another user.
After recreating the user, the issue is gone for me.

Thanks again, worked for me too.
Nice to hear that the solution also worked for you!
Hi Tobias,
Is this really the only solution? It seems like it should be possible for someone to track down what caused the problem and provide a patch to fix this.
If the only "fix" is to delete the user then this falls into the "solution was to reinstall Windows" group of fixes.... I.e. no fix at all.
The only reason I'm moaning about this is because I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to move all the documents etc across to a new user account, and who's to say that this problem won't reappear at some later stage on another user account....?
Can't keep on deleting users can we!
Best wishes,
Jon
