When running AutoCAD LT there are 4 chromium host executable process that are taking up a lot of resources.
Killing these processes improves performance dramatically.
Is there any way of stopping these proceses from starting when AutoCAD LT starts?

Do this https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-forum/chromium-host-executable/m-p/7052145#M152795 after you remove all the bloatware installed with LT (Desktop App and A360 if you do not use them), then restart your PC.
Er, uh . . . Carlos. Adobe and their pdf files are a company too. I think ACAD is a much smaller company, and more advanced than them. Adobe is antiquated, and a monopoly.
So you're saying, may take, is on account of that bill, Adobe is now a gov't mandated monopoly, with their antiquated programs? That's typ gov't. That's how I'm looking at this. I don't like corporations owning America, but I don't like the gov't owning America either. Us peasants are supposed to own it.
Am I missing something? Pdf's are another companies product, just like dwg files are Acad.

Not sure if you got this.
Go into task manager, and under "startup", right click the Autodesk icon and disable, then go into "details" and right click "end process tree" on the Autodesk desktop program.
That killed chromium for me and it hasn't come back. I haven't noticed any problems w/ Autocad. I use ACAD 2018 Lt.

I got this from someone else and I'm not sure about the exact names of the Autodesk icons in task manager.
"They don't really affect Windows performance at all unless your Windows environment is exceptionally unstable."
Anything taking up 25% CPU usage and 30-35% memory usage without any software running would affect any computer regardless of the Windows being stable or not. Ridiculous statement!
I have a similar complaint to the intitial thread, but the problem doesn't seem to be that the Chromium Host Executable files effect windows performance, windows remains stable while the CPU goes to 100% and then AutoCAD becomes unstable. Thoughts?
what I did is that I ended the process from task manager, all chromium stuff, and is useful cause from 32% it decrease to 9 %
Perhaps he would not need a higher end computer if Autodesk and so many other software manufacturers were not loading their programs up with unnecessary and unwanted bloat.
Another option is to go to 'Open file location' in task manager, and change the extension as mentioned. Thanks for the solution though!
You only have to do this small step, will release your cpu-power again:
1. Go to this catalog: C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk Desktop App\AcWebBrowser
2. Rename acwebbrowser.exe to acwebbrowser.txt
3. Restart machine.
4. Voila.
