    Hey, you know what else uses practically all of your resources without even notifying you, let alone asking you? Basically everything else in Windows 10. Not saying that you shouldn't delete it, just saying that just because it uses a ton of resources doesn't mean its malware of some sort. Still, check just to be safe whenever you see something you don't recognize that's doing that.

    Hi,

    Windows 10 is far the slowest Windows version ever! There is a lot of files .exe (runtimebroker, compatibilitytelemetry and etc) with high consuming of disk and CPU also.

    On a traditional HD we should wait almost 07min before try to log in due to high disk usage.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It's impossible to use it without SSD disk!

    Ok I know that this is a useless comment and I'm being a bit of a smart aleck, but an SSD is a solid state drive and an HDD is a hard disk drive, so an SSD isn't a disk

    This program serves no legit purpose and, just like CompatTelRunner.exe, is meant to slow your computer down by using large amount of disk data transfer on a loop, sometimes physically damaging SSDs. It's obvious part of Microsoft planned obsolescence plan.

    However, given Microsoft trolls (moderators) locked the other similar threads after conveniently moving them out-of-sight to irrelevant categories, don't expect any solution at all.

    Another perfect example of Microsoft total disregard for user control of their own PC.  Can you believe there are software twits up North who are pulling down 6 figures for dreaming up this kind of crap?!?
