WSAPPX被Microsoft列为(Microsoft)Windows 8和 10的重要进程。说实话， WSAPPX 进程(WSAPPX process)确实需要使用大量的系统资源来执行指定的任务。虽然，如果您注意到WSAPPX高磁盘或 CPU(disk or CPU)使用错误或其任何应用程序处于非活动状态，请考虑禁用它。该流程包含两个子服务(two sub-services)：
- AppX 部署服务 ( AppXSVC ) – 它负责安装、更新和删除应用程序(installing, updating, and removing apps)。商店(Store)打开时触发AppXSVC
- 客户端许可服务(ClipSVC ) – 它正式为 Microsoft Store 提供基础架构支持， 并在启动其中一个(provides infrastructure support for Microsoft Store )Store 应用程序(Store apps)以执行许可检查(license check)时被激活。

)
在大多数情况下，我们无需担心在后台运行的数百个系统进程和服务可以让Windows 操作系统(operating system)完美运行。虽然，系统进程通常会表现出异常行为，例如消耗不必要的高资源。WSAPPX 系统(WSAPPX system)进程也因此而臭名昭著。它管理从Windows Store即Microsoft 通用(Microsoft Universal)应用平台安装、更新和删除应用程序。
有四种不同的方法可以限制WSAPPX的高磁盘和 CPU 使用率(disk & CPU usage)，这些方法将在后续部分中详细说明：
- 如果您发现自己很少使用任何原生商店应用程序(Store apps)，请禁用自动更新功能，甚至卸载其中的一些应用程序。
- 由于该过程涉及Microsoft Store 应用程序(Microsoft Store application)，因此禁用商店将阻止它使用不必要的资源。
- 您还可以从注册表编辑器禁用(Registry Editor)AppXSVC 和 ClipSVC(AppXSVC and ClipSVC)。
- 增加虚拟内存(Virtual memory)也可以解决此问题。
方法 1：关闭自动应用更新(Method 1: Turn Off Auto App Updates)
限制WSAPPX 进程(WSAPPX process)，特别是AppXSVC 子服务的最简单方法是禁用(AppXSVC sub-service)Store应用程序的自动更新功能。禁用自动更新后，当您打开Windows 应用商店时， (Windows Store)AppXSVC将不再被触发或导致CPU 和磁盘使用率(CPU & disk usage)过高。
注意：(Note:)如果您希望让您的应用程序保持最新，请考虑不时手动更新它们。
1. 打开开始(Start )菜单并输入Microsoft Store。然后，单击右侧窗格中的打开(Open )。
2. 单击三点图标( three-dotted icon )并从随后的菜单中选择设置。(Settings )

Fix WSAPPX High Disk Usage in Windows 10
WSΑPPX is listed by Microsoft as a vitаl process for Windows 8 & 10. Truth be told, WSAPPX process does need to use a goоd amount of syѕtem resources to carry out the designatеd tasks. Although, if you notice WSAPPX high disk or CPU usage error or any of its apps to be inactive, consider dіsаbling it. The process contаins two sub-services:
- AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC) – It is the one responsible for installing, updating, and removing apps. AppXSVC is triggered when the Store is open
- Client License Service (ClipSVC) – It officially provides infrastructure support for Microsoft Store and gets activated when one of the Store apps is launched to perform a license check.
How to Fix WSAPPX High Disk & CPU Usage Error in Windows 10
On most days, we do not need to worry about the hundreds of system processes and services running in the background allowing the Windows operating system to work flawlessly. Although, often, system processes can exhibit abnormal behavior such as consuming unnecessarily high resources. The WSAPPX system process is infamous for the same. It manages the installation, updates, removal of applications from Windows Store viz Microsoft Universal app platform.
There are four different ways to limit WSAPPX high disk & CPU usage, which are explained, in detail, in the subsequent sections:
- If you seldom find yourself using any of the native Store apps, disable the auto-update feature and even uninstall a few of them.
- Since the process is involved with the Microsoft Store application, disabling the store will prevent it from using unnecessary resources.
- You can also disable AppXSVC and ClipSVC from Registry Editor.
- Increasing the Virtual memory may also fix this issue.
Method 1: Turn Off Auto App Updates
The easiest way to restrict WSAPPX process, particularly, the AppXSVC sub-service, is to disable the auto-update feature of Store applications. With auto-update disabled, the AppXSVC will no longer be triggered or cause high CPU & disk usage when you open the Windows Store.
Note: If you wish to keep your applications up-to-date, consider updating them manually every now and then.
1. Open the Start menu and type Microsoft Store. Then, click on Open in the right pane.
2. Click on the three-dotted icon and choose Settings from the ensuing menu.
3 On the Home tab, toggle off Update apps automatically option shown highlighted.
