chromium host executable- how to disable

Anonymous
No aplicable

Hi. I have seen this issue brought up on the forum before: chromium exe it is taking too much CPU...meaning about 70% on my notebook (which also tends to connect to overheating of notebook and freezing programs). The app runs all the time- i.e. also when I'm not working in auto-desk programs. 

 

I looked at some solutions discussed, but they don't seem to work: e.g. logging out of A360- tried it (meaning I clicked on Autodesk 360 in "Devices and drivers") and I get the message that I am not signed in. 

 

 

I am looking to establish whether I actually need this app (i.e. the chromium): what does it do? And, assuming I don't need it, how do I disable it? 

 

For reference- notebook runs on windows 10, 64 bit OS, intel core i5, 8 GB RAM. 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Which version and service pack of AutoCAD?

 

>> what does it do? And, assuming I don't need it, how do I disable it?

It's at least a internet browser, so Autodesk products can communicate with internet independent of any local installed browsers and their settings.

And yes, you need it for updates, for bingmaps-connection, for A360, and a lot of stuff, I would not try to disable it as you might then have other conflicts with licensing and so on.

 

But it is unusual that it runs all the time with full power of one kernel.

So I would try to disconnect your workstation from network (just for test, not as a solution!) and see if it's again running hot.

Another trial: disable the Autodesk Desktop Analytics setting.

Also look left of the button shown in my previous screenshot ... does the field show a login name or just "Sign in"?
