High CPU usage because of wsappx, is there a solution?

[Stormbringer60]

Suddenly, my laptop fan started making noise, because of high CPU usage by the wsappx service and Task Manager indicated "Very high energy consumption". A quick search on the Internet discovered that I am not the first experiencing this problem. And the go-to "solution" seems to be to turn off Windows Store using the Group Policy Editor or the Registry Editor (I needed to do both). 

But this doesn't seem to be a very good solution, having to turn important Windows features off.

Will there be a fix for this issue?

I am not participating in Windows Insider.

I have downloaded and installed all updates.

I have now reported this issue to Feedback Hub.

Take a look at:

Do steps listed on the website and see if the problem persists?

No change. I need to flip a "home made" flag in Register Editor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eJcQx4WGWI) and restart the PC, then wsappx CPU usage goes down. But the next day it is back on "very high energy consumption". Extremely annoying. :(

Hi, outside the hours of active use -> do you leave the computer overnight in a sleep, connected to the power supply?

Just to test, try performing a Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?

No

I have Windows 11, this instruction is for previous versions.

[#10]

"No"
Does this mean that after finishing work you close the system and turn off the power?

[#11]

This instruction also worked in the Windows 11.
You may open start and search for msconfig and do the same steps.

[#12]

Yes.

Win11 , performs a lot of checking processes and daily maintenance in the background - and updates and migrates .
This -> your way of using your computer is causing the problem!
Outside of working hours, the computer should remain asleep connected to power and the Internet, please check it for a few days and write how it works.
