Fixing wsappx high memory and CPU usage
WSAPPX, a Windows process related to the
Microsoft Store and app management, can sometimes cause
high CPU usage. This is usually due to background tasks like app updates or installations. If you're experiencing this, it's recommended to let the process run its course or check for pending updates. If the issue persists, you can try updating your device drivers, scanning for malware, or
disabling background app activity.
Disable background app activity: You can limit the impact of WSAPPX by disabling background activity for specific apps. Go to
Settings >
Privacy >
Background apps and adjust the settings.
