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?

Hi!
Thank you for a good answer, but the nice thing about renaming an exe. file is that its simply to rename it back if problems should occur I believe. I'm only using plain inventor, and not the entire environment, so it worked nicely for me, but I cant speak for the more advanced users of course.
But a good idea would off course be for the users to RENAME IT BACK to the correct name BEFORE running any Autodesk applications.
Anyways, have a nice evening over there.

Your re ply states that CHE should not impact my PC. WRONG in my case. I uninstalled A360, and it has not helped. I don't even have AutoCAD LT running. Yet CHE is consuming up to 30% of my CPU time.
How do I get this to stop??
Ok ladies and gents,
It seems like "Desktop App" has to be uninstalled from controlpanel as well after it is uninstalled with the Autodesk uninstall program , it also may have to be done from computer started in safemode, because it cant be uninstalled when running.
Also "Akamai Netsession" can in most cases be uninstalled as well...
Hello everyone
task manager
The easy way to get rid of the problem is open the Task manager.
Go to Services
Go to processes.
Right click on the process and open file location
Rename the .exe file with " OLD"
Then you have the file left and nothing starts

I had the same problem, high CPU consumption) by the "Chromium host executable" (C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk Desktop App\AcWebBrowser\AcWebBrowser.exe) until I logged into my Autodesk account and installed the Autodesk updates available at the moment. After that the problem disappeared. I guess \AcWebBrowser.exe had been trying continuously to connect to the Autodesk update servers, something like...
I have a Chromium Host Executable sucking 30% of CPU. I have no idea what it is, what it does, or how to find out. Is it safe to End Task? What alternative would be the best approach?

Thanks,
Just opening the Desktop App seemed to make it disappear, but I installed all updates anyway. Hopefully that solves it.
Sorry Dean,
The fact is, AutoCad would work, if the Chromium processes were not using up the memory.
I have a brand new, 64 bit Surface with Core i7 Quad core, and the 4 Chromium extensions make my computer come to a stand still WITH AutoCAD OFF. NOT RUNNING>

Well I believe It's a MALWARE from Autodesk. I'm not sure about that, but some online web help cant take you that much power, it must be possible to have it working with like 0,5% or maybe less of your CPU, I have no idea for what they use this computing power. Maybe mining bitcoins, who knows 😄
I got this too when i got a free licence of 3DS MAX, thats a tax for getting something (for me it was 3DS MAX) for free.
It was using my laptop CPU for 10% ! I'ts incredibly insolent putting background ghosts into your computer ! And i have a strong CPU 4 cores 8 threads
i7-6820HQ ! And still 7-10% used ! WTF ?!?
I am a student and im just trying to use 3DS MAX for free (thank you for that) for HEIGHTMAPS. > aaand Autodesk installed 10 tons of another bull**** into my computer i didn't want.
But I'm lucky I'm not that blind and found that worm !
Simply open your TASK MANAGER, right click on the task, and find its location folder. After that, end all the tasks and after that, delete the folder, or just the application.exe it self and it will stop from starting again. You are welcome !

I am pleasantly surprised by your excellent and selfless willingness to help an ignorant novice like myself.
The world would be a completely different place if there were more people like you, always willing to help, and always paying attention to every word and every possible detail in the postings of members of this forum. Your ability to capture and synthesize everyone's problems and to offer highly personalized and effectively applicable solutions is remarkable.
I can see now why you carry the AUTODESK EXPERT ELITE badge. It is a true pleasure to learn that a professional colleague in my line of business has achieved such an advanced knowledge about this remarkable software and is at the same time willing to share his expertise with other people not as capable as you are.
From this day on I will be your #1 follower and fan.
Kudos to you!
I created an account just to give you a thumbs up for this comment -- dude is a real piece of work aren't they?
When a background process is taking 35% of the CPU time when the application isn't even being used, that's not overthinking. That's a bug.
