Windows Driver Foundation是Windows Driver Framework的旧称。它是Microsoft提供的一组库和工具，有助于降低编写Windows驱动程序时的复杂性。它将驱动程序推送到用户模式。该服务对于系统的整体稳定性是必要的。

什么是Windows Driver Foundation进程？

Windows Driver Foundation是一组库和工具，可让您在 Windows PC 上使用驱动程序时降低复杂性。换句话说，此过程可帮助您始终继续使用稳定的系统。

有时，用户可能会遇到系统问题，其中Windows 驱动程序基础^{(Windows Driver Foundation)}占用了大部分CPU使用率。虽然它并不完全限制大多数用户的CPU功能，但它肯定会耗尽电池并有时可能导致系统冻结，尤其是在使用率高达 100% 的情况下。尝试在任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}中终止该进程无济于事，因为它是一个系统进程。

Windows Driver Foundation使用高CPU或内存

要确定CPU使用压力是否是由于Windows Driver Foundation或 wudfsvc.dll 造成的，请通过右键单击任务栏^(Taskbar)并选择任务管理器来打开^{(Task Manager)}任务^{(Task Manager)}管理器。

在这里，检查占用高CPU使用率的进程。是Windows 驱动程序基金会^{(Windows Driver Foundation)}吗？它可能以替代名称User-mode Driver Framework ( UMDF ) 或WUDFHost.Exe 出现^{(WUDFHost.Exe)}。

如果它确实消耗大量资源，请尝试以下一些故障排除建议：

1. 运行 Windows 更新
2. 运行疑难解答
3. 在干净启动状态下进行故障排除
4. 尝试从系统中删除外围设备
5. 更新并重新安装 WiFi 驱动程序
6. 给专业人士的建议

让我们详细检查这些步骤。

1]运行Windows更新

确保^(Make)您的Windows操作系统使用最新的补丁和修复程序是最新的。如果没有，建议安装所有可用的更新。

2]运行疑难解答

如果您使用的是Windows 7，请运行系统维护疑难解答。运行系统维护疑难解答^{(System Maintenance Troubleshooter)}。打开Run，键入以下内容并按 Enter 键：

msdt.exe -id MaintenanceDiagnostic

它有帮助吗？

接下来，运行系统性能疑难解答^{(System Performance Troubleshooter)}。为此，请打开提升的命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}，键入以下内容并按Enter以运行性能疑难解答^{(Performance Troubleshooter)}。

msdt.exe /id PerformanceDiagnostic

此疑难解答程序可帮助用户调整设置以提高操作系统速度和性能。

3]在干净启动状态下进行故障排除

干净启动^{(Clean Boot)}将帮助您解决问题。以管理员身份登录系统。^(Log)Press Windows + R打开“运行”^(Run)窗口。输入^(Enter)命令“msconfig”，然后按Enter。

单击^(Click)常规^(General)选项卡，然后单击选择性启动^{(Selective Startup)}。清除Load Startup Items复选框，并确保选中Load System Services和Use Original boot configuration。

单击应用并重新启动系统。

执行干净启动^(Boot)的原因是隔离导致问题的任何软件。如果干净启动^(Boot)解决了高CPU使用率问题，则尝试找出干扰的确切软件。您必须通过启用/禁用每个进程或启动来手动执行此操作。

4]尝试^(Try)从系统中删除外围设备

^(Remove)从系统中一一移除外围设备并检查它是否解决了问题。如果是这样，则可能需要更换该特定外围设备或更新其驱动程序^(Driver)。

5]更新^(Update)并重新安装WiFi驱动程序

许多用户报告说重新安装WiFi驱动程序帮助他们解决了这个问题。更新设备驱动程序的过程如下：

Press Win+X并单击设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}将其打开。在按字母顺序排列的列表中，找到“网络适配器”并单击其前面的向前箭头。

重新启动系统并检查问题是否已解决。如果没有，请继续重新安装驱动程序。

再次打开设备管理器并右键单击无线驱动程序。^{(Device Manager)}然后点击“属性”。打开驱动程序^(Drivers)选项卡并单击卸载^(Uninstall)以卸载驱动程序。保持系统连接到Wifi，重启系统。它应该自动检测驱动程序。

6]对专业人士的建议

性能监视器^{(Performance Monitor)}是一个很好的内置工具，可让您实时监控和研究您运行的应用程序如何影响计算机的性能，包括实时和收集日志数据以供日后分析。它对于识别和排除进程的高资源利用率以及生成Windows的系统健康报告非常有用。但有时，您可能会觉得需要使用第三方免费软件工具来控制此类可能使用高CPU的进程。Process Tamer是一款免费软件工具，可帮助您管理Windows中的高或 100% ^(Windows)CPU利用率。

是否需要Windows 驱动程序基础^{(Windows Driver Foundation)}？

是的，运行Windows 11/10的计算机上必须安装Windows Driver Foundation。它可以帮助您在计算机上顺利使用驱动程序。由于驱动程序可帮助您将硬件连接到软件，因此您必须在计算机上启用Windows Driver Foundation 。

All the best!

Fix: Windows Driver Foundation using high CPU

Windows Driver Foundation is the former name for Windows Driver Framework. It is a set of libraries and tools by Microsoft which helps reduce the complexity while writing Windows drivers. It pushes drivers to user mode. This service is necessary for the overall stability of the system.

What is Windows Driver Foundation process?

Windows Driver Foundation is a set of libraries and tools that let you reduce the complexity while using drivers on your Windows PC. In other words, this process helps you continue using a stable system all the time.

At times, users may face issues with the system, where the Windows Driver Foundation occupies a major chunk of the CPU usage. While it does not exactly restrict the functionalities of the CPU for most users, it certainly drains the battery and might cause freezing of the system at times, especially if the usage shoots up to 100%. Attempting to kill the process in the Task Manager doesn’t help because it is a system process.

Windows Driver Foundation using high CPU or Memory

To find if the strain on the CPU usage is because of Windows Driver Foundation or wudfsvc.dll, open the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Taskbar and selecting Task Manager.

Here, check for the process occupying high CPU usage. Is it Windows Driver Foundation? It might be present with the alternative name User-mode Driver Framework (UMDF) or WUDFHost.Exe.

If it indeed consumes high resources, try some of these troubleshooting suggestions:

1. Run Windows Update
2. Run Troubleshooters
3. Troubleshoot in Clean Boot State
4. Try removing peripherals from the system
5. Update and re-install WiFi drivers
6. Suggestions for the Pro’s

Let’s check out these steps in detail.

1] Run Windows Update

Make sure that your Windows operating system is up to date with the latest patches and fixes. If not, it is recommended to install all the available updates.

2] Run Troubleshooters

If you are using Windows 7, then Run System Maintenance Troubleshooter. To run the System Maintenance Troubleshooter. Open Run, type the following and hit Enter:

msdt.exe -id MaintenanceDiagnostic

Does it help?

Next, run the System Performance Troubleshooter. To do so, open an elevated Command Prompt, type the following and hit Enter to run the Performance Troubleshooter.

msdt.exe /id PerformanceDiagnostic

This troubleshooter helps the user adjust settings to improve operating system speed and performance.

3] Troubleshoot in Clean Boot State

A Clean Boot will help you troubleshoot the issue. Log on to the system as an administrator. Press Windows + R to open the Run window. Enter the command ‘msconfig’ and press Enter.

Click the General tab, and then click Selective Startup. Clear the Load Startup Items check box, and ensure that Load System Services and Use Original boot configuration are checked.

Click Apply and restart the system.

The reason for performing a Clean Boot is to isolate any software that was causing the issue. If a Clean Boot resolves the high CPU usage issue, then try to find out the exact software which was interfering. You will have to do this manually by enabling/disabling each process or startup.

4] Try removing peripherals from the system

Remove peripherals from the system one by one and check if it resolves the issue. If it does, that particular peripheral might need to be replaced or maybe its Driver updated.

5] Update and re-install WiFi drivers

Many users have reported that reinstalling the WiFi drivers helped them resolve the issue. The process to update Device Drivers is as follows:

Press Win+X and click on Device Manager to open it. In the list, which is in alphabetical order, find ‘Network Adapters’ and click the forward-pointing arrow in front of it.

Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved. If not, proceed to re-install the drivers.

Open the Device Manager once again and right-click on the wireless drivers. Then click on ‘Properties’. Open the Drivers tab and click on Uninstall to uninstall the drivers. Keeping the system connected to the Wifi, reboot the system. It should detect the drivers automatically.

6] Suggestions for the Pro’s

The Performance Monitor is a good built-in tool that lets you monitor and study how applications you run affect your computer’s performance, both in real-time and by collecting log data for later analysis. It is quite useful in identifying and troubleshooting high resource utilization by processes and in generating a System Health Report of your Windows. But at times, you may feel the need to use a third-party freeware tool for controlling such processes which may use a high CPU. Process Tamer is a freeware tool that will help you manage high or 100% CPU utilization in Windows.

Is Windows Driver Foundation necessary?

Yes, Windows Driver Foundation is necessary to have on your computer running Windows 11/10. It helps you use the drivers smoothly on your computer. As drivers help you connect your hardware to software, you must have the Windows Driver Foundation enabled on your computer.

All the best!
