Whenever my Framework laptop is plugged in, a process called “Service Host: Device Association Service” (svchost.exe) uses 20-30% of my CPU at all times which causes the fan to be constantly running at full tilt. This happens both when I am plugged into a dock and into a usb c power brick. Thinking it has something to do with the USB C port’s driver but don’t really know where to start troubleshooting. I am using Windows 11 Pro 64 bit.
Correct- when unplugged the high CPU usage goes away.
Could it be drivers? Have you installed Frameworks bundle? Not to sure, sorry.
Thanks Shiroudan and amoun, looks like it is fixed now, I didn’t know the driver packages were updated until I looked for the download page again after reading your comment. When I got the laptop and installed Win11, there were only Win10 drivers available. I just installed the Win11 drivers and the issue is fixed, I’m guessing it had something to do with the Intel Thunderbolt driver.
Thank you!
