Assuming you're running windows pro, you can start by a single computer and if this works you can create a GPO on your server and push the policy to your affected users. Also try to find common factors between the affected users, common apps, common resource usage behavior patterns, etc.īecause WSAPPX is strictly for apps that came from the windows store, unless you have apps that are necessary for your users, you can disable the windows store if all else fails or your troubleshooting goes nowhere, ideally through GPO.

You can always kill those services as they are not critical but your best bet is to isolate your issue step by step. The fact that you can temporarily fix the problem by deleting a profile and that it affects more than 1 user seems to me like something is pushed from some server to your endpoints and seems like your users might have something in common that triggers that behavior. What are the average specs of your computers? CPUs, RAM, HDD or SSD? what version of windows are they running? (this would be important for the way to force fix the issue, through GPO) Do any of those services also have high usage? If so, is it just on the CPU or is also on RAM or storage?Ĭan you give more info on your user computer setups? Are you part of a domain? If so, local, cloud or hybrid?. Usually there are a few more services that work in tandem such as AppXSVC and ClipSVC. WSAPPX is a service used to manage windows store apps.
