Services and Controller app Random High CPU usage.

Anonymous

When i look on task manager, I will sometimes see Services and Controller app using around 30-40% CPU sometimes when i am playing games, this happens and total cpu usage goes to 100%, and it seems to make my voice call sound weird.

For some context, this always happens on start-up and then at random times. I use a laptop.

Is there anyway to fix this? and if not fixable what is the Services and Controller app process doing?

    Have the same problem using my HP Pavilion LAPTOP-087KE2CB with Windows 10 version 1903 (OS Build 18362.356) updated 29-Aug-19 and it slows down my computer considerably.

    Exactly the same problem - randomly services and controller app goes to 40-60% cpu and sits there for a long while.

    I have tried the clen boot etc and it always comes back.

    Anyone can recommend a clean reboot. It does not solve the problem but it only remedies the problem so that it will surface again.

    Treat the cause, not the sympthom.

    The services and controller app clearly have a problem stopping using the CPU at full throttle.
