High CPU Usage: Understanding AppModel and WSAAPPX
Introduction
In the digital age, users rely heavily on their computers and devices for everyday tasks, from simple web browsing to complex software applications. However, one common issue that many users face is high CPU usage. This phenomenon can lead to sluggish performance, frustration, and a lack of efficiency. Among the various processes that can spike CPU usage in Windows, AppModel and Wsappx are often the culprits. This article will delve into what these processes are, why they cause high CPU usage, and how users can manage this issue effectively.
Understanding CPU Usage
Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the brain of the computer, processing instructions from applications and executing tasks. High CPU usage occurs when the processor is working at or near its maximum capacity. This can manifest in slow performance, lagging applications, or even complete system freezes.
Normal CPU usage varies based on the tasks being performed. For instance, intensive tasks like video rendering or gaming naturally lead to higher CPU usage. However, high CPU usage caused by background processes without a corresponding user-initiated task can be a sign of underlying issues.
What is AppModel?
AppModel is a critical component of the Windows operating system, particularly Windows 10 and later. It serves as a framework that helps manage Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications. These applications are designed to run across multiple devices and screen sizes, providing a unified experience.
Key Features of AppModel:
-
Security: AppModel isolates apps to prevent them from interfering with system processes and other applications, enhancing user security.
-
Performance Management: It allows the operating system to manage resources better, ensuring that applications run smoothly without consuming excessive system resources.
-
Compatibility: The framework ensures that UWP apps are compatible across different Windows devices, from PCs to tablets to Xbox consoles.
What is Wsappx?
Wsappx is a Windows system process closely linked to AppModel. It primarily handles the installation, updating, and licensing of UWP applications. The process is not visible in the Task Manager under its own name but can be observed as part of the system’s overall resource usage.
Functions of Wsappx:
-
App Installation: Wsappx manages the installation of apps from the Microsoft Store.
-
App Updates: It is responsible for ensuring that UWP apps are updated to their latest versions automatically.
-
Licensing Management: Wsappx checks and verifies licenses for installed apps, ensuring compliance with Microsoft’s licensing policies.
Why Does AppModel Cause High CPU Usage?
Despite its benefits, AppModel can sometimes lead to high CPU usage due to various reasons:
-
App Updates: Constant checking for updates and installing them can cause the CPU to work harder than usual, especially if multiple applications are involved.
-
Resource-Intensive Apps: Some UWP applications are naturally resource-intensive. When they are running or being updated, they can significantly increase CPU load.
-
Background Processes: AppModel enables many background processes to run to maintain app performance and security, contributing to overall CPU load.
-
Corrupted Files: Sometimes, corrupted app files or installation files can cause processes under AppModel to misbehave and consume excessive CPU resources.
-
Multiple Instances: If multiple UWP applications are running simultaneously, especially resource-heavy ones, this can strain CPU resources.
Why Does Wsappx Cause High CPU Usage?
Wsappx’s high CPU usage can stem from several factors:
-
Frequent Updates: If the Microsoft Store is set to update apps frequently, this can lead to Wsappx running more actively, leading to spikes in CPU usage.
-
Store Activity: Any background activity in the Microsoft Store, such as catalog updates or searching for app updates, can lead to increased CPU usage.
-
Licensing Issues: If there are problems with the licensing verification of an app, Wsappx may repeatedly attempt to verify licenses, causing CPU spikes.
-
Resources on Startup: If many applications start with the computer and try to check for updates simultaneously, Wsappx can cause a noticeable increase in CPU load at startup.
Identifying High CPU Usage
To identify high CPU usage caused by AppModel or Wsappx, users can take the following steps:
-
Task Manager: Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to monitor CPU usage. Look for «AppModel» and «Wsappx» in the processes list. If either process is consuming an abnormally high amount of CPU, this can confirm that they are the source of the issue.
-
Resource Monitor: This tool provides a more detailed view of CPU usage. Search for «Resource Monitor» in the Start menu and look specifically at the CPU tab to see which services are active and what resources they consume.
-
Windows Performance Monitor: For advanced users, Performance Monitor offers in-depth analysis tools to investigate CPU usage comprehensively.
Solutions to High CPU Usage
If high CPU usage is noticeable due to AppModel and Wsappx, several solutions can be employed:
Disable Automatic App Updates
-
Open Microsoft Store: Launch the Microsoft Store app on your computer.
-
Settings: Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select «Settings.»
-
App Updates: Under the «App updates» section, toggle off the option for automatic updates. This can help reduce the frequency of Wsappx’s activity.
Manage Background Apps
-
Settings: Navigate to «Settings» > «Privacy» > «Background apps.»
-
App List: Disable the apps that do not need to run in the background. Limiting the number of apps running concurrently can lessen CPU load.
Uninstall Unnecessary UWP Apps
-
Settings: Go to «Settings» > «Apps» > «Apps & features.»
-
Uninstall: Review the list of UWP applications you might not use and uninstall them to reduce the load.
Update or Repair Corrupted Apps
If a specific application is causing issues, consider updating or repairing it:
-
Settings: Under «Settings,» go to «Apps» and select the problematic app.
-
Repair Option: If available, choose the «Repair» option before resorting to uninstalling and reinstalling.
Perform System Maintenance
Regular system maintenance can enhance overall performance and help manage CPU usage:
-
Disk Cleanup: Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to remove unnecessary files.
-
Defragment Hard Drive: If using a traditional HDD, defragment it periodically. SSDs require different attention, so ensure you manage TRIM settings.
-
Check for Malware: Use Windows Defender or a trusted third-party antivirus tool to scan for potential malware that may be causing system strain.
Upgrading Hardware
If high CPU usage persists despite software solutions, it may be time to consider hardware upgrades:
-
Add More RAM: Increasing RAM can allow the CPU to handle more applications at once, reducing overall usage.
-
Upgrade the CPU: If feasible, upgrading to a more powerful CPU can significantly enhance performance for demanding tasks.
-
SSD Upgrade: Switching from a mechanical hard drive to a solid-state drive can improve overall system responsiveness, indirectly reducing CPU workload.
Conclusion
High CPU usage can severely impact user experience and system performance. AppModel and Wsappx play crucial roles in the management of UWP applications and background processes, but they can also become sources of frustration when they lead to excessive CPU load. By understanding these processes and utilizing various strategies to manage their impact, users can optimize their systems for better performance.
Whether opting for software solutions like disabling automatic updates and managing background apps or considering hardware upgrades, users have several pathways to reduce high CPU usage associated with AppModel and Wsappx. Staying informed and proactive can ensure smooth computing experiences well into the future.

appmodel (2) — burst of CPU use for a few minutes occasionally- why?
Hi, I’ve upgraded from 8.1 Pro to Win 10, and have been using it for some weeks.
Initially, whilst getting Win 10 into a usable state, the CPU use associated with appmodel (tiledataserver) with a couple of others (customer experience, Windows Defender) was a real problem, but only for the first few days.
Normally, CPU use when idle is under 10%. However, every so often- maybe not even every day- I become aware of a burst of CPU use as shown lasting several minutes. Note this doesn’t seem to be updates (no network activity) unless the download occurred before this.
Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.

Slowdowns, appmodel/svchost using 100% CPU
A few days ago I started noticing slowdowns on my computer. I checked the task manager and found appmodel taking up 100% of the CPU, this occurs in Safe Mode as well.
I’ve tried returning to a backup, the system recovery, and a full scan by Norton.
I managed to restart the processes associated with appmodel in Safe Mode, which dropped CPU usage down to 75%, however it rapidly went back up again.
I am unable to left click to bring up the start menu, although I can right click it. So I can’t get on Settings to check for an update.
In Safe Mode the task manager works, however in the normal mode it only works for a few minutes after the computer comes online, then becomes unresponsive.
Would a clean install work to fix this? I don’t think I can kill appmodel, or the svchost associated with it.

Appmodel’s process eats 30-100% CPU
Today I made a clean installation of Windows 10 from latest installation media. I continuously get UI freezes for minutes. Task Manager shows me a process «appmodel» which uses most time more than 30 percent of CPU. Why it is so and how to fix it?
-
appmodel (2) — burst of CPU use for a few minutes occasionally- why?
Does the CPU usage ever get up to over 95%? The particular process may be reacting to updates, does the Windows Store do any automatic updating? Mostly I have to tell it to update certain apps, so I don’t know if that would be the cause. As long as it does not go above 60% or so. Does this happen when any Tile apps are opened? Some tile apps like Dropbox or other cloud services may sync to your cloud space on occasion.
-
Hi XWeAponX, thanks, I’ll try with Onedrive (which I don’t use) disabled. I don’t use tiled apps in general- just traditional desktop programs- I use Classic Shell not the Win 10 start menu — which still is subject to the 512 start menu shortcuts limit and is a poor relation to Classic Shell.
I can’t think of a way to prove a link to updates as when I happen to notice it there doesn’t seem to be any network activity.
CPU use is almost always below 50%.

You may see Event ID 65 in the event viewer (with or without system hanging/crashing) due to outdated Windows or drivers of your system. Moreover, non-optimal configuration (Focus Assist, Variable Fresh Rate, Full-Screen Optimization, etc.) may also cause the error under discussion.
The issue arises when the user sees Event ID 65 in the event viewer of his system. Some users encounter the issue with a system crash/hang-up (having failed with 0x57 description), whereas for others, it is just creating entries in the event viewer without any notable system issue. In some cases, the issue was triggered when the user used Alt + Tab keys while playing a game on the full screen (some users reported the issue with just one game only).
Before moving on with the solutions, make sure to create a restore point of your system. Moreover, make sure you are not overclocking your system (try to lower the speed of your system/GPU to the lowest possible). Furthermore, check if using just one (or two) ram sticks in the system solves the issue. Additionally, check if clean booting the system resolves the issue. If so, then enable applications/services one by one till you find the problematic one. Last but not least, make sure the Windows of your system is updated to the latest build.
Solution 1: Disable Full-Screen Optimization for the Problematic Game/Application
Windows automatically tries to optimize an application that is operating on the full screen. You may encounter the Event ID 65 if the full-screen optimization of Windows is hindering the operation of the problematic game/application. In this case, disabling the full-screen optimization for the problematic game/application may solve the problem.
- Right-click on the problematic application/game shortcut (e.g., League of Legends shortcut) & choose Properties.
Open Properties of League of Legends - Now navigate to the Compatibility tab & check-mark Disable Full-Screen Optimization.
- Then click on Apply/OK & reboot your PC.
- Upon reboot, check if the system is clear of the Event ID 65.
Solution 2: Disable Variable Refresh Rate of Your Display
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is used to change the refresh rate of a display unit (where supported) to prevent screen tearing during the game’s play in full-screen. But this feature may hinder the operation of the display modules and thus cause the error under discussion. In this case, disabling the Variable Refresh Rate may solve the problem. But this option may not be available to all the users.
- Hit the Windows key and open Settings.
Open Settings of Your System - Now open System and then (in the left pane) select Display.
Open System in Windows Settings - Then, in the right pane, scroll down till the end and click on Graphics Settings.
Open Graphics Settings in Display - Now toggle the switch of Variable Refresh Rate to the off position and reboot your PC.
Disable Variable Refresh Rate - Upon reboot, check if the system is clear of the Event ID 65 error.
Solution 3: Disable Focus Assist and Notifications
Focus Assist helps users in using the system without interception or playing the game without notifications. But this feature may hinder the operation of full-screen applications/games and thus trigger the Event ID 65. In this context, disabling the Focus Assist may solve the problem.
- Click on the Action Center icon (near the right of the system’s clock) and then right-click on the Focus Assist.
- Now select Go to Settings and then disable the option of When I Am Using an App in Full-Screen Mode (under Automatic Rules).
Go To Settings of Focus Assist - Now reboot your PC and check if the runtime error is resolved.
Disable When I Am Using an App in Full-Screen Mode - If not, then open the Focus Assist Settings (steps 1 to 2) and disable all the options under Automatic Rules.
Disable Automatic Rules of Focus Assist - Now reboot your PC and check if the Event 65 issue is resolved.
- If the issue reoccurs, then disable Focus Assist and check if the issue is resolved.
Disable Focus Assist - If the issue is still there, then click on the Action Center icon and select Manage Notifications (on the top of the Action Center window).
Open Manage Notifications - Then disable “Get Notifications from Apps and Other Senders” (under Notifications).
Disable Get Notifications from Apps and Other Senders - Now reboot your PC and check if it is clear of the Event 65 error.
Solution 4: Remove/Disable the Tasks from the Task Scheduler
You may get the Event ID 65 error if a task defined in the Task Scheduler is triggering the behavior. In this case, removing/disabling the tasks from the Task Scheduler may solve the problem.
- Hit the Windows key and in the Windows Search bar, type Task Scheduler. Then select the Task Scheduler.
Open the Task Scheduler - Now select the Task Scheduler Library and in the right pane of the window, right-click on MicrosoftEdgeupdatetaskmachineUA and select Disable.
- Repeat the same to disable MicrosoftEdgeupdatetaskmachineCore, GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA, GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore, and for any task that belongs to the CCleaner application.
Stop Edge and Google Update Tasks in the Task Scheduler - Now reboot your PC and check if the system is clear of Event 65.
- If not, then check if disabling all the scheduled/running tasks solves the issue. If so, then enable the tasks one by one till you find the problematic one.
Solution 5: Perform SFC and DISM Scan
You may encounter the event ID 65 if the files essential for your OS are corrupt. In this context, performing SFC and DISM scans may clear the corruption and thus solve the problem.
- Perform an SFC scan (this may take some time to complete) and then check if the issue is resolved.
- If not, then check if performing a DISM scan resolves the issue.
Solution 6: Reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributable
Many applications/games use the Visual C++ Redistributable to complete their runtime. You may encounter the AppModel-Runtime error at hand if the installation of Visual C++ Redistributable is corrupt. In this context, reinstallation of the Visual C++ may solve the problem.
- Hit the Windows key and open Settings.
- Then open Apps and expand Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable. You may see more than one installation, if so, then expand anyone of the installations (but do not forget to note down the versions installed as you may need them while reinstalling).
- Now click on Uninstall and then confirm to uninstall Visual C++ Redistributable.
Uninstall Microsoft Visual C ++ - Then wait for the completion of uninstallation of the Visual C ++ and repeat the same to remove all versions of the Visual C++.
- Now reboot your PC and then reinstall Visual C++.
- After reinstalling the Visual C++, check if the runtime error is resolved.
Solution 7: Remove the Windows 10 Update
If the issue started after a Windows 10 update (reported by many users), then uninstalling the Windows 10 buggy updates or reverting to an older version of Windows may solve the problem.
- Hit the Windows key and open Settings.
- Now open Update & Security and, in the right half, select View Update History.
View Update History of Your System - Then click on Uninstall Updates and then select the update causing the issue. The KB4571756 & KB4576478 updates are reported to create the issue.
Open Uninstall Updates - Now click on Uninstall and wait for the removal of the update (repeat the same for all the problematic updates).
Uninstall KB4571756 & KB4576478 updates - Then open Update & Security (if the issue started to occur after a feature update of Windows 10) and then, in the left half of the window, click on Recovery.
Open Update & Security - Then, under Go Back to the Previous Version of Windows, click on Get Started.
Go Back to the Previous Version of Windows 10 - Now wait for the completion of the revert process and then check if the Event ID 65 issue is resolved.
If so, then you may try to update again but after trying the following steps:
- Press the Windows key and in the Windows Search box, type Command Prompt. Then, in the results shown, right-click on the Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator - Then execute the following one by one (make sure to press the enter key after each cmdlet):
net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver
Stop the Services Related To Update & Rename the Software Distribution and Catroot2 Folders - Now update the Windows again and check if the AppModel issue is resolved.
Solution 8: Revert, Update or Reinstall the Graphics Driver
You may encounter the error under discussion if the graphics driver of your system is outdated, corrupt, or incompatible (after a driver update). In this context, updating, reinstalling, or reverting to the older version of the graphics driver may solve the problem.
- Rollback the Graphics driver to an older version and check if the Event ID 65 error is resolved.
- If not, update the graphics driver of your system to the latest release and check if the system is clear of the AppModel error.
If reverting or updating the graphics driver did not solve your issue, then you may have to reinstall the graphics driver.
- Launch a web browser and navigate to the website of the graphics card manufacturer.
- Then download the latest driver as per your graphics card and system’s architecture.
- Again, download a clean-up utility like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and boot your system into the Safe Mode.
- Now launch the Quick Access menu by right-clicking the Windows button and then select Device Manager.
Open Device Manager - Now expand the Display Adapters and right-click on your graphics card.
- Then select Uninstall Device and check-mark “Delete the Driver Software for This Device”.
Uninstall Graphics Driver and Delete its Driver Software - Now click on Uninstall and then wait for the uninstallation of the graphics driver.
- Then launch the DDU utility (downloaded at step 3) and remove any traces of the display driver.
Remove Traces of the Graphics Driver Using DDU - Now boot your system into normal mode and install the downloaded driver (at step 2) with administrative privileges but make sure to disable the USB-C driver during the install process.
Reinstall Graphics Card Driver Without USB Type C Driver - Then check if the Event ID 65 issue is resolved.
- If that does not resolve the issue, then repeat the above process but this time try to use an older version of the driver and check if that sorts out the issue. If so, then you may have to disable updating of that driver.
Solution 9: Edit the BIOS Options
You may get the Event ID 65 if the BIOS of your system is outdated or not properly configured. In this context, updating or properly configuring the BIOS options may solve the problem.
Warning:
Proceed at your own risk and with extreme caution as updating/editing the system’s BIOS requires a certain level of proficiency and if done wrong, you may brick your system and cause everlasting damage to your data.
- Update the system’s BIOS to the latest build and check if the Event ID 65 issue is resolved.
- If not, press the Windows key and type Power & Sleep Settings. Then select Power & Sleep Settings.
Open Power & Sleep Settings - Now, click on Additional Power Settings (in the right pane) and then click on Choose What the Power Buttons Do.
Open Additional Power Settings - Then click on Change Settings That Are Currently Unavailable & uncheck the option of Turn on Fast Startup.
Disable Fast Startup - Now save your changes and boot your system into BIOS.
- Then enable XMP and set the Ram (DDR4) voltage to 1.4 Volts (be very careful as setting a value higher than that may harm your system).
- Now disable Spread Spectrum and hopefully, the AppModel issue is resolved.
Enable XMP, Disable Speed Spectrum and Set the Ram Voltage to 1.4
If the issue is still there, then check if performing a clean install of Windows solves the issue. If not, then you may have to live with it (if it is not causing serious issues for you) or get your system checked for any hardware issues (like a faulty graphics card or processor).
