By shut off, I mean in Services.msc to choose the service to Disable and Turn Off.

I noticed that the fan on my laptop (Thinkpad Yoga X1) running Windows 10 was running at full speed, which was draining the battery quickly. At the same time noticed a sharp drop off in performance on the machine. (I was waiting for the applications to catch up with the keystrokes, etc.)
I the looked at the task manager and noticed a process called Service Host:Web Account Manager using most of the CPU capacity. See below.
If I stop the process, the fan slows down, the applications and internet browser return to their normal self. But, when I restart the machine, this Web Account Manager returns along with the degraded performance. Do I need this process, and if not, can I disable it? Or, it this situation a result of something else going on. (This started back after a recent update I did. I tried to restore, but it wasn't successful.)
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
