    If sedlauncher is used for Windows Update, why must it run when no update is taking place? That process is using 40 to 80 % of my disk access capacity. I also see more than one Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry process present now and they have rather high usage levels also. It is a concern of mine that these "improvements", which come with extra processes running will continue to add disk and CPU time such that all these improvement related additions eventually will take my computer over the top where it will no longer be usable.

    it's preventing my computer from sleeping. I saw it last night with "powercfg -requests", then researched it, but it was gone when I checked again.

    my computer woke up at 6am this morning to do a backup, but never went back to sleep

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -requests

    DISPLAY:

    None.

    SYSTEM:

    None.

    AWAYMODE:

    None.

    EXECUTION:

    [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files\rempl\sedlauncher.exe

    SleepDeferralConditionsMet

    PERFBOOST:

    [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files\rempl\sedlauncher.exe

    SleepDeferralConditionsMet

    ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:

    "designed to improve the speed of WU"

    Meanwhile my whole PC is in total meltdown... yea, no thanks. Im blocking it in my firewall and anti-malware.

    Because you know what else uses maximum system resources without user permission? Malware.
