Hello,

If you are experiencing high CPU usage, like me, and see in the process manager that "Widgets process" is the cause, exist a very easy solution.
This is a problem with the latest windows 11 update, and Microsoft doesn't release a fix.

So if you have this problem like me, just do this:

Just go to command prompt and type the following:

winget uninstall "windows web experience pack"

Latest Windows update consuming CPU and overheats PCs




P.S. - Yes I don't been around so much because I am complete addicted playing DIvision 2 :)

Must add something as a Feedback to the uninstallation of the "Web Experience Pack".

Before the uninstall, I had serious issues with my BD-DVD-Drive (External USB 3) - It would randomly stop playing a Movie or Series in a set interval of 45min then 15min and again 45min. The Drive is still visible in the Explorer and inside Device Manager but is unresponsive. In about 5min of waiting it resumes playing.

After the uninstall of the Web-Pack all is back to normal and I was close to buying another Drive because even in Event Logs, I could not find anything relating to that issue.

Again, BIG THANK YOU for this tip!

Sincerely
Val.

Just go to command prompt and type the following:
App Installer (winget) has to be installed though, it is not by default.
