You may also note that after installing the Windows 10 update there is a spike in CPU usage while doing simple task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix High CPU Usage Issue in Windows 10?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, Windows 10 KB4592438 is the main reason for High CPU usage and by uninstalling this update you can fix this issue. But there is another High CPU bug coming with intel drivers &amp; Software assistant Tools (DSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Reddit, many Windows users have complained that they are facing high CPU usage due to the faulty process of \u2018DSAService\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"135\" src=\"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/DSAService-CPU-usage.jpg\" alt=\"Software assistant Tools (DSA)\" class=\"wp-image-2861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/DSAService-CPU-usage.jpg 768w, https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/DSAService-CPU-usage-200x35.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This Software assistant Tools (DSAService) is coming with a software update provided by Intel for Windows 10 and it is reported that this DSA service frequently runs in the background which is the main cause of high CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One user mentioned in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/intel\/comments\/k9p4ys\/intel_dsa_high_cpu_usage_after_the_latest_windows\/\">Reddit thread<\/a>. \u201cI didn&#8217;t notice it until I started playing the game. And I was like did <strong>I fry my ssd or my cpu<\/strong> after latest windows update. I opened task manager and luckily I saw dsa was using my resources\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An update to DSAService (DSAService.exe) could be the cause of the high CPU Usage and overheating of your PC. This issue can bring a spike of around 50-100% in your CPU usage. But it\u2019s also possible Windows updates have an issue with Intel\u2019s DSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fix: at the current time the only solution to fix the high cpu issue after the latest updates is &#8211; uninstall the comulative updates or intel software, and pause the updates temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft and Intel will definitely aware of this problem and possibly both are working on the solutions. As soon as Microsoft and intel will find any solution to this issue, It will be applied automatically via Intel DSA or Windows Update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 10 updates can cause high CPU usage, but there\u2019s a fix<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2852"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
