This high CPU usage occurs because the background processes performed by some of the bundled Microsoft media suite apps conflict with some of the other processes that are run by apps that are already considered the default media apps. But how necessary are the programs that come bundled in non-N versions of Windows, specifically in Windows 10?īill Cosner, a concerned commenter on a Microsoft help forum entitled “ Windows 10 high CPU usage by ‘Music Application’” where he explains that Groove Music, part of the Windows media suite in Windows 10, is using forty to seventy percent of the CPU. The operational functions that are carried out by a Windows computer are necessary to the overall success of an instance that one is using the computer. Why It’s a Good Idea to Reduce the Number of Preinstalled Programs With the now five-part media suite bundled with non-N versions of the operating system, it impacts the performance overall because these apps run background processes that drain system resources such as memory, which ultimately change how quickly a computer operates. Now, with Windows 10, the media suite consists of Windows Media Player, Groove Music, Movies and TV, Voice Recorder, and Skype. With Windows 7, though, the Microsoft Media suite only consisted of a binary conjoining of parts, the Windows Media Player and the Media Center.
The N served as a twin to every other version of Windows 7, except for the removal of the media suite. Windows N started with the almighty Windows 7 N. Windows N aimed to protect the company from the imminent possibility of getting sued where the inclusion of a media suite impedes upon antitrust laws. Microsoft retaliated with the introduction of the “N” line in their Windows lineup. All the way back in 2004, the European government sued Microsoft for 497 million Euro under the circumstances that contained within the Operating System, their bundled media software broke antitrust laws (that protect smaller businesses against monopolies of the larger ones).
