High CPU and RAM Usage: What’s Up with WorkloadsSessionHost?

Asked By GamerNinja42 On

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a frustrating issue on my ASUS TUF Gaming A16 (which has a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, 32GB RAM, and an RTX 4070). The process called WorkloadsSessionHost keeps popping up and running on its own. It's consuming more than 10% of my CPU and over 2.7 GB of RAM, even after I terminate it manually. Unfortunately, it just comes back after a while or after I restart my computer. I've tried doing a clean reinstall of Windows, forced termination of the process, and made sure my system is fully updated and clean, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone here know what this process does and how I can disable it for good? Thanks!

WorkloadsSessionHost is actually tied to virtual machines and virtual desktops. If you're not using any such services directly, it could be running in the background because of some software connection. Are you connected to any servers or remote machines that might be triggering it? That could explain its persistent presence.

You might want to try running the Specify tool on your system. It analyzes your installed programs and could help identify any configuration issues that might be causing WorkloadsSessionHost to act up. Check it out here: [Specify](https://rtech.support/factoids/specify/). Let me know if that helps!
