Nice discovery, indeed that is very suspicious, i wish Microsoft would have sorted out permissions for Windows.. This would help notice things like that earlier I use this: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ gives me notifications whenever a process create/delete services, also has a nice CPU graph in the system tray, thanks to that i noticed Windows will eat your CPU/DISKs whenever you AFK, some telemetry/update thing running in the background.. even when you just idle watching a video.. inefficient telemetry software.. sweet.. what a time to be alive

Is that the Microsoft Store related process (wsappx) that has a habit of spinning the CPU for hours?

Also just disk indexing which exists to make your user experience better. Not everything is malicious.

  Indexing is running all the time yet when I search for something it takes ages to find anyways. Yet "Everything" indexes my disk in a minute and spits out results instantly. Even if windows indexing aint malicious, it certainly behaves as if it is.

  If they're indexing your disk 24/7 for a better user experience and searching for something still barely works half the time, I'd be less embarrassed if it was attributed to malice.
