This post contains info that helps Fix High CPU Usage by Windows Driver Foundation.
Method 1:
Run Windows Update to get all updates installed.
Restart your PC when the update is complete.
If the issue persists, try running Windows performance toolkit to diagnose the problem.
WARNING: We highly suggest you create a restore point before running the trace.
Install the Windows Performance Toolkit (aka, WPT) by downloading Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) from the below link@ www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=39982
If you are running windows 10 you should use the newer version found@ go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=536682.
Method 2: Run "Hardware & Devices Troubleshooter".
Method 3: Run System Maintenance troubleshooter.
Method 4: Run System File Checker tool (SFC.exe). To do that, run the below command as the admin user.
sfc /scannow
If the issue still persists, continue to the next fixes:
1) check in Clean Boot state - this helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. Then you run the recommended uninstall tool PRO in this video guide, so you can rid of the troublesome software effectively. Afterwards, you find an alternative application on the web.
2) Run DISM commands as below:
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Method 5: Disable the external disk entries (e.g., some micro SD card, benchmark, etc.) under Portable Devices in Device Manager, if you do not use them.
If you are using Sdo Sensor V2, try turning off that device under "Sensors" via Device Manager as well.
Alternatively, you do the following:
1) remove those external devices in time, if you do not use 'em.
2) disable the Portable Devices in Device Manager.
Method 6: Disable Windows Media Player following this vid@ www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QvPU99AQJ8
Plan B: Try disableing Windows Media Player backup/sync settings . . .
ORGANIZE | Options | DEVICES or SYNC tab | System Backup or Advanced | Select settings;
Select a drive | Properties and UNCHECK “create folder hierarchy on device”;
Repeat for every drive.
Follow me.
Method 7: Head to C:\WINDOWS\system32, then try renaming the WUDFHost.exe as WUDFHost.exe.old.
Other options:
1. If you're using some Dell computer (specifically, the Latitude E7250), do the following:
Run Device Manager to detect unknown devices;
Install lastest Dell ControlVault Driver;
Install latest Dell ControlVault Firmware.
2. If you were using some Wi-Fi network, try re-installing the WIFI driver (using the latest build) and uninstalling Lenovo Transitions software (if you have) using the recommended uninstall tool PRO in this video guide.
Run Windows Update to get all updates installed.
Restart your PC when the update is complete.
If the issue persists, try running Windows performance toolkit to diagnose the problem.
