The “News and Interests” feed in the taskbar Microsoft hasn’t revealed how they fixed the problem, but it seems to be a ‘race condition’ where two processes crashed at the same time or conflicted with other running processes. Windows 10 Build 19042.985 has cured this performance problem, according to reports from some users and our own tests. Users reported that they’re facing high CPU usage and PCs have slowed down considerably. As we reported recently, there have been reports of performance issues after recent monthly updates, especially after the last month’s cumulative update. In addition to the new taskbar feature, Microsoft has also fixed a nasty problem that causes high CPU usage. However, it may not show up for everyone as this functionality is still rolling out (more on that later). This cumulative update adds the news and interests feature to the taskbar.
