After I upgraded from 8 to 10 the various services related to the Windows Store (which you CANNOT truly disable without the registry hack below) were reading my entire drive relentlessly, probably snooping as to what software I had installed. I was able to disable them with the registry entries referenced here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2015/05/11/what-is-wsappx-and-why-is-causing-high-cpu-load/
In the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppXSVC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ClipSVC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WSService
Change the “Start” REG_DWORD value from:
0x00000003 (3)
to
0x00000004 (4)
After a reboot the services were disabled and my machine was actually quiet unless…you know…I was actually doing something. F*** MS and their “Store”.
