Windows 10 is designed to work on variety of devices, but some Surface Pro 2 users are reporting certain issues. According to them, there are processes that will consume most of your memory or CPU power when the keyboard cover is removed, so let’s see if we can fix this issue.
Fix The Problem With Surface Pro 2 Runaway System Processes
Excessive CPU or RAM usage is always a problem since it will decrease your performance, drain your battery faster and heat your device, so let’s see how to fix that.
Solution 1 – Disable Windows Driver Foundation – User-mode Driver Framework Host
Windows Driver Foundation – User-mode Driver Framework Host or WUDFHost.exe is one of the processes that can consume a lot of computer power, so you might want to disable it.
If for some reason your experience any issues, go to the Startup tab in Task Manager andenable WUDFHost.exe.
Solution 2 – Disable Sensor Service
We have to mention that doing this will disable automatic rotation, but it should fix excessive CPU usage.
Solution 3 – Disable HIDV2 or SDO V2.
This will disable auto-rotation, so keep this in mind.
That would be all, I hope these solutions will help you with runaway system processes on your Surface Pro 2. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, reach for our comment section below.
