Microsoft 软件保护平台^{(Microsoft Software Protection Platform)}允许公司验证Microsoft服务，并确保没有人篡改Windows或任何Microsoft软件，包括Office、OneDrive等。在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}上执行此工作的进程是Sppsvc.exe。您可能会遇到Sppsvc.exe导致CPU^{(High CPU)}使用率过高的问题。在这篇文章中，我们将找到一种方法来解决这个问题。

请勿以任何方式禁用或删除此服务。如果这样做，Windows激活、Office激活等将失败。您将在桌面上看到激活水印。我看过很多关于它的报道，这不是一个好举动，除非你不介意。有一个注册表项 hack ( HKLMSYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services), 如果您以任何方式更改它，您可能无法恢复它。

软件保护平台服务 Sppsvc.exe^{(Software Protection Platform Service Sppsvc.exe)}导致CPU^{(High CPU)}使用率高

现在警告已清除，让我们看看可能的解决方案。如果Sppsvc.exe导致CPU^{(High CPU)}使用率过高，则可能意味着它卡在验证中，并且无法完成。我们注意到用户报告它的CPU使用率为 30-40%。以下是您可以查看的内容：

1. 杀死 sppsvc.exe
2. 停止软件保护服务
3. 扫描并检查恶意软件
4. 检查 Windows 激活。

1]杀死sppsvc.exe

• 右键单击^{(Right-click)}任务栏^(Taskbar)并选择打开任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}
• 在进程选项卡下，查找
  • Microsoft 软件保护平台服务^{(Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service)}列表
  • 或MMC > 服务^(Services) > Software Protection Properties（本地^(Local)计算机）
• 右键单击该程序，然后选择结束任务。

它将确保解决导致CPU^{(High CPU)}使用率过高的 sppsvc.exe - 至少暂时如此！

2]停止软件保护服务^{(Stop Software Protection Services)}

Microsoft 软件保护平台服务^{(Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service)}设置为自动（延迟启动）^{(Automatic (Delayed Start))}。通常，它不会在后台运行。不时调用它来检查Microsoft 软件^{(Microsoft Software)}和Windows的真实性。

此服务^(Service)支持下载、安装和执行Windows和Windows应用程序的数字许可证。如果该服务被禁用，操作系统和许可应用程序可能会以通知模式运行。强烈建议您不要禁用软件保护^{(Software Protection)}服务。

• 在RUN提示符下，键入 services.msc，然后按Enter键。
• 当Windows 服务打开^{(Windows Services opens)}时，在列表中查找软件保护^{(Software Protection)}服务。
• 双击打开属性，然后单击停止^(Stop)按钮。
• 您也可以右键单击服务> All任务> Stop。

最后一个操作将确保停止Microsoft 软件保护平台^{(Microsoft Software Protection Platform)}(sppsvc.exe)，并停止其他相关服务。

注意：^(Note:)没有办法禁用这个服务，改变启动方式。

3]扫描并检查恶意软件

很少^(Rare)见，但检查文件是否已被恶意软件替换是个好主意。最好的方法是检查正在运行的 sppsvc.exe 的位置。

在任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}中，右键单击 sppsvc.exe，然后选择打开文件位置。验证它是否为 C:WINDOWSsystem32sppsvc.exe。如果是，那么文件是好的。如果没有，那么您应该立即删除它。根据情况，有几种方法可以做到这一点。

• 尝试直接删除它。
• 启动^(Boot)进入安全模式，然后将其删除。
• 使用第三方防病毒软件来删除文件。

最后，由于您已删除文件，请使用DISM 恢复文件。DISM使用Windows 更新^{(Windows Update)}客户端，但您可以使用网络共享或可移动媒体（如Windows DVD或USB媒体）中的^(USB)Windows并行文件夹。

4]检查Windows激活状态

您^(Did)是否注意到您的Windows副本在^(Windows)CPU使用率变高之前是否存在激活问题？Windows 激活^{(Windows Activation)}服务可能无法验证Microsoft软件或Windows本身。如果您的计算机上安装了KMS 或 MAK密钥，您可能需要验证密钥的有效性。

KMS密钥仍然更容易，因为您需要连接公司服务器进行身份验证。但是，如果有人向您出售了不再有效的MAK密钥，^(MAK)您将需要购买新密钥。

如果这些解决方案帮助您解决导致 CPU 使用率过高的 Sppsvc.exe，请告诉我们。如果没有，最好与Microsoft 支持^{(Microsoft Support)}联系以解决问题^{(Let us know if these solutions helped you to resolve Sppsvc.exe causing High CPU usage. If not, it is best to connect with Microsoft Support to resolve the problem)}。

Software Protection Platform Service Sppsvc.exe causing High CPU usage

Microsoft Software Protection Platform allows the company to validate Microsoft services, and make sure nobody tampers with Windows or any Microsoft software including Office, OneDrive and so on. The process which does this job on Windows 10 is Sppsvc.exe. It may so happen that you may be facing an issue where Sppsvc.exe is causing High CPU usage. It in this post we will figure a way to find a fix for that.

Do not disable this service or delete it by any means. If you do so, Windows activation, Office activation, etc. will fail. You will see activation watermark on the desktop. I have seen a lot of reports about it, and its not a good move, unless you are not bothered about it.  There is a registry key hack (HKLMSYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services), and if you alter it any way, you may not be able to restore it.

Software Protection Platform Service Sppsvc.exe causing High CPU usage

Now that the warnings are cleared let’s take a look at possible solutions. The chances are that if Sppsvc.exe is causing High CPU usage, it means that it is stuck with validations, and is not able to complete. We have noticed users reporting it with 30-40% CPU usage. Here are the things you can take a look at:

1. Kill sppsvc.exe
2. Stop Software Protection Services
3. Scan & Check for Malware
4. Check Windows Activation.

1] Kill sppsvc.exe

• Right-click on the Taskbar and choose to open Task Manager
• Under the processes tab, look for
  • Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service listing
  • or MMC > Services > Software Protection Properties (Local computer)
• Right click on the program, and choose to end task.

It will make sure to resolve sppsvc.exe causing High CPU usage for sure – temporarily at least!

2] Stop Software Protection Services

Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service is set to Automatic (Delayed Start). Usually, it’s not running the background. It is invoked from time to time to check on the authenticity of Microsoft Software and Windows.

This Service enables the download, installation and enforcement of digital licenses for Windows and Windows applications. If the service is disabled, the operating system and licensed applications may run in a notification mode. It is strongly recommended that you not disable the Software Protection service.

• In the RUN prompt, type services.msc, and hit the Enter key.
• When Windows Services opens, look for Software Protection service in the list.
• Double click to open the properties, and click on the Stop button.
• You can also right-click on the service > All tasks > Stop.

The last action will make sure to stop the Microsoft Software Protection Platform (sppsvc.exe), and other related services stop.

Note: There is no way to disable this service, and change the startup method.

3] Scan & Check for Malware

Rare, but its a good idea to check if the file has been replaced by a malware. The best way is to check the location of the running sppsvc.exe.

In the Task Manager, right-click on sppsvc.exe, and choose to open the file location. Validate if it is C:\WINDOWS\system32\sppsvc.exe. If yes, then the file is good. If not, then you should immediately delete it. There are a couple of ways to do it depending on the situation.

• Try deleting it directly.
• Boot into safe mode, and then delete it.
• Use a third party anti-virus to get rid of the file.

Lastly, since you have deleted the file, use DISM to restore the files. DISM uses Windows Update client, but you can use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or a removable media, such as the Windows DVD or USB media.

4] Check Windows Activation Status

Did you notice if your copy of Windows had an activation issue before the CPU usage went high? It is possible that Windows Activation service is not able to validate Microsoft software or Windows itself. If you have a KMS or MAK key installed on your computer, you might want to verify the validity of the keys.

KMS keys are still easier as you need to connect with your corporate server to authenticate. But in case somebody has sold you MAK key which is no longer valid, you will need to buy a new key.

Let us know if these solutions helped you to resolve Sppsvc.exe causing High CPU usage. If not, it is best to connect with Microsoft Support to resolve the problem.
