Hello,

at some point of time i seen on my Windows 10 Home that there was pocess "Windows Shell Experience Host" and it was taking constant load on i5 CPU of 25-40%.

I tried a a few tweaks like setting fixed background color and such. I see it is common issue when googling. Example question: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...nce-host/32d526c1-e1e0-4fd3-affa-d74f0ef82a3e

Someone adviced to restart Windows Explorer and indeed it worked to get absolutelly rid of this process.

I also used "O&O Shut up 10" software and seen that from the last time Windows "Telemetry" was again enabled. So i also disabled it.

Please can anyone advice how i can run an application or .bat file once mentioned process reach certin CPU uage?

So far im having this .bat file content that restart Windows explorer:

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
explorer.exe

maybe also adding some prompt so i can confirm explorer restart so i do not loose opened foders.

Update: It seems that Bill2 Process Manager can execute app or kill certain app if certain process eats too much CPU:

So maybe i can use it to monitor "Windows Shell Experience Host" process and get notiffied when it goes wild.. what do you think about this process and its CPU usage causes?
 
Seems a common cause of this is windows trying to alter the colours of UI elements on screen to contrast your wallpaper.

To disable it try:
  1. Right click on your desktop, pick personalize.
  2. Click on Colors from the menu on the left.
  3. Turn off "Automatically pick an accent color from my background", and select a static color instead.
