Windows 11 Insider builds in June suffer from increased CPU usage, and there is no solution to this problem yet. Participants in the Insider program suspect Microsoft's Cross Device Service — a program for smartphone and PC interaction. Microsoft is aware of the issue but has not fixed it for over a week.
On June 5, 2024, users first reported this problem on Microsoft forums. The increased CPU load disappears if you disable the Microsoft Cross Device Service. Unfortunately for Windows 11 Insiders who would like to use the file sharing service between devices, Microsoft has not released a fix yet. Microsoft engineer Jennifer Gee responded to one of them: "Thank you for your patience, we have identified the cause and are working on fixing it" — but it's not there yet.
There is a speculation that this error occurred due to new enhanced features of the device interaction service in Windows 11. This allows PCs to more easily sync with phones for file exchange, etc. Phone Link support was identified as the most likely cause, but older changes made to Cross Device Service in earlier builds may also be responsible.
Users once again note that Microsoft may be moving "in the wrong direction." The system uses up to 10% of the processor power at idle; the Recall feature raises security concerns. Microsoft is forced to take more steps back with its own innovations in Windows 11. At least there is hope that the new resource "eater" will be fixed before release.
