On task manager I see 20-40 Workloadssessionhost tasks each using 1 gig of memory. How can this be stopped. AI searches really don't help.

    Okay, I've been chasing rabbits long enough and they have seemed to have gone underground. Everything seems to have settled down, in that the few of the Workloadssessionhost tasks seem to be running after the last restart. I'm guessing that there is still some kind of issue, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for me currently.

    okay, this was a notebook (Framework) motherboard upgrade to AMD Ryzen 7 7840U, so now have NPU active. I'm guessing that is part of the issue. The command failed.

    Hi John,

    I'm Sumit, here to assist with your question.

    Apologies for any inconvenience - I'm happy to help you today.

    Is this a Copilot+ PC? It seems to be related to AI.

    In the Windows search, 

    Type cmd, right-click it, and choose Run as Administrator.

    Execute this command:

    net stop WSIAFabricSvc

    Restart the PC and let me know.

    I look forward to your response and am eager to collaborate until we find a solution.
