Question Cross Device resume Process using cpu hikes intermittently.

[Brahman]

I have this process Cross Device resume which resumes after every logon and causes cpu hikes. I tried every possible steps mentioned here. But the process restarts every time. I suspect its a new nagging feature bug of Microsoft. I have no other way except to kill the task every time after starting my system. So my work around is to create a bat file call it via a vb script to run it discretely using task scheduler after 3 minutes on every restart. Does any one else faces this issue? Does anyone have anything better to suggest?
These are my scripts.
1. taskkill.bat

u/echo off

taskkill /f /im "CrossDeviceResume.exe"

exit

2. Vb script

Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WShell.Run """C:\Killer\KILLER.bat""", 0, False

"crossdeviceresume.exe" is a legitimate Windows system file related to the "Resume" feature, which allows you to pick up where you left off on another device, like your phone. It's not inherently a cause for high CPU usage, but it can be associated with high CPU usage if the "Resume" feature is actively being used or experiencing issues. If you're seeing high CPU usage, it's worth investigating if the "Resume" feature in Windows settings is enabled and if it's related to Phone Link or other cross-device functionalities.

Troubleshooting High CPU Usage:

1. 1. Check the "Resume" Feature:
   • Go to Settings > Apps > Resume.
     
     
   • You can disable the feature entirely or manage which apps are allowed to be resumed.
     
2. 2. Check Phone Link:
   • If you're using Phone Link, ensure it's up to date and that there are no issues with the app.
     
     
   • Try temporarily disabling Phone Link to see if the CPU usage drops.

Don't you want EDGE to run in the background?

No. I don't. By default browser is vivaldi. I rarely touch edge.

If you don't use it, you could uninstall it and see if that fixes the issue.

Removed phone link now. But after restart, the resume processes are back like before.

Do you use Copilot? If not, have you tried disabling Copilot by GPO?
