About the extendedcoputility process

Every time I start up my computer, it takes up 20-30% of the CPU. I checked the path and found it's in c:/windows/WinS. Does anyone know what this program is? Can I lower the CPU usage a bit?

    The ExtendedCopUtility process is typically associated with the Microsoft Office Upload Center. It can be safely terminated or disabled via Office settings.
