Practically, since its launch, Microsoft has received as much praise as criticism from users who have decided to migrate. Its growth, therefore, is not as fast as the company initially expected, and bugs in the operating system continue to appear, as is the case at hand.
There is just over a year left until Windows 10 stops receiving official support from the company. Basically, this means that at the end of next 2025, that version of the operating system will stop receiving updates. That is where most of us will be forced to install the latest version of the system, Windows 11, regardless of who it is.
Right now the latest version of the Microsoft system is suffering from a serious failure, as we are going to tell you. In case you have been experiencing a higher than normal CPU usage, even reaching 100%, suddenly in Windows 11, you should know that you are not the only ones. In this regard we have both good and bad news.
First of all, we must take into consideration that the software giant has already identified the cause of the problem. Furthermore, it is important that we know that this aforementioned failure of high resource consumption only affects the Insider versions of Windows 11. On the contrary, we find bad news, and that is that to date Microsoft has not yet been able to solve the problem. Furthermore, it doesn’t seem like this is going to change anytime soon.
The truth is that the various Insider channels exist to allow Microsoft not only to test new features in Windows 11, but also to fix bugs. In turn, the preliminary versions of the operating system have been particularly plagued with problems in recent times, which does not leave the firm’s image looking good.
This is the culprit behind the Windows 11 failure
We tell you all this because at this moment multiple complaints have been published from Insider users who claim to be experiencing spikes in CPU usage. After analyzing the problem, Microsoft has already identified the cause of all this and it is the service called Cross Device, marked as guilty. What’s not entirely clear is exactly why this bug has arisen, but the service is related to the application Windows 11 Phone Link.
And in recent times the company has been working to add new functions to this specific tool. Once the cause of the failure of the high processor consumption In Windows 11, the company has gotten to work. As some of its developers tell us, they are currently working on finding a solution, but at the moment they have nothing.
This means that if you have this problem and need a solution, what you can do is leave the Windows Insider program and return to the stable version. Although we also have the possibility of disabling the Cross Insider function, but this could have side effects on the operation of Windows 11.
