Background processes running while idle using lots of CPU

1

I downloaded Windows 10 to my VMware machine and it works great but I've noticing slowdown on my real computer when I leave my virtual machine idle. I have Process Explorer open and when I have it run idle, a bunch of processes run in the background.

Seems like it's trying to scan for viruses or cleaning junk off my hard drive. Is there a way to disable this?

This looks like the scheduled idle maintenance task which runs when the PC is idle. Run task scheduler and disalbe the automatic and idle maintenance under Task Scheduler -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Task Scheduler

I don't see it inside the task scheduler. – Dylan Briedis – 2015-09-15T05:01:26.727

I don't have Win10 running, so I assumed it was the same like in 8.1. – magicandre1981 – 2015-09-15T15:46:36.917
