    WSAPPW process throttling CPU?

    So I was watching a YouTube video and suddenly it started going all twitchy, and the audio was going all staticy, and I noticed my taskbar glitching.

    So I went to task manager and my CPU was at 100% ( i have a core i7) and my memory was at 90% (I have 16GB or DDR4 RAM, and the primary process causing this was wsappw. This happened for a good 5 minutes then the process diappeared. Does anyone know what that was all about? And do I have to worry about it happening again?

    At first I thought Windows was updating, due to me doing a clean install two days ago, but it wasn’t updating.

      That process is related to the windows store, you can disable it from ever running again if you wish.

      This link explains how…

      The "wsappx" process is part of Windows 10, and you may see it running in the background or even using a significant amount of CPU and disk resources.
