Many users who have switched from Windows 7 or Windows 8.x la Windows 10, They noticed immediately after starting the new operating system, like your laptop or PC with the new one Windows 10 works very hard. When this happens, we first think of it Memory (RAM) or at Processor (CPU), But there are many situations when Slow PC running Is caused by utExcessive hard disk imbalanceLike to System processes or processes applications.
wsappx Is one of the processes that can cause this slow running of the PC by using it in a percentage 100% and hard diskacquis. This use of 100% does not allow the running of other applications and other operations that require the hard disk. Windows 10 lock times and delays in command execution occur.
I expanded the process and found there are three Windows services that runs under it, including Windows Store Service (WSService), AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC), and Client License Service (ClipSVC). All those services provide infrastructure support for the Windows Store application, and its apps.
wsappx is not a virus Or another form of malware. It is a Windows process developed by microsoft, Introduced with the launch Windows 8.1.
wsappx is a process that responds to at least three Windows Services, all of which have a common denominator: Microsoft Store.
1. Windows Store Service (WSService)
WSService Offers support for the Microsoft Store infrastructure. Start on demand only, And if you want to totally disable it, they will appear Problems of use And the Microsoft Store. You can disable it only if you do not use Microsoft Store.
2. Client License Service (ClipSVC)
ClipSVC Is responsible for checking purchases from the Microsoft Store. The service starts on demand, and if you have shopping made from the Store, we do not recommend disabling it.
3. AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC)
AppXSVC Is the service that uses most Hard disk resources after upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 10. This service is responsible for the Microsoft Store Application Checks. Although it is set to start only on demand, for a good period of time, it will run and will stress us a lot.
All three services do not offer us the ability to permanently stop them / change the status at startup. 'Startup type'Can not be modified.
Solutions for the high resource consumption problem (100%) hard disk by the wsappx process
As far as I noticed, this problem solves itself. Excessive use of resources takes place only a few hours after the Windows upgrade is done. Most likely, until you verify the applications installed on the system and the Microsoft Store integrity.
One solution would be to stop the services by giving up the Microsoft Store.
How to Disable Microsoft Store on Windows 10
Navigate in Local Computer Policy > computer Configuration > administrative Templates > Windows Components > Store.
wsappx Is likely to appear in Task Manager And after disabling Microsoft Store. This process responds to a cumulative Microsoft Windows service.
