Runtime Broker

[ehowton]

Who write this shit?

RuntimeBroker.exe is a safe Microsoft process included in Windows to assist with Windows Store app permissions. With a light system footprint of more or less 5,000 K of RAM being used, it does not affect performance.

RuntimeBroker.exe is triggered by Windows Store apps. If there are no Windows Store apps open, this process won't run.

Unsurprisingly, I narrowed down my THIRTY PERCENT CPU USAGE and ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT DISK UTILIZATION to this ass process. And I wasn't (nor do I ever, to my knowledge) run "Window Store apps." Ugh.

Kill it, and we're golden.

I also found Cortana running in the background. I have a PC not a phone or tablet. So I killed that shit too.

IKR? Apple is so stupid with their two different operating systems, I laugh out loud at Apple's asininity! LOLOLOL! Ain't nothing better than a full desktop O/S running on a phone - or better yet, a phone O/S running on a desktop! Wait...what?
