Last days I heard the laptop's fan kicking in, and I discovered a process called 'WinGet COM Server' which is consuming CPU cycles. I uninstalled WinGet from apps, but it appeared once again. I think that Windows Update reinstalled it.

Curiously, I couldn't find posts about this issue.

I'm using Win 10 Pro 22H2. I don't want any processes consuming CPU as my laptop is an audio-dedicated workstation.

If you are not using WinGet, try killing the process in taskmgr, which will stop it using any CPU cycles at all. If it still appears, see if there is a WinGet task in Task Scheduler that restarts it (although maybe not if you have uninstalled it). If it keeps coming back you might have to write an automated batch file (automate it with Task Scheduler) that contains

@echo off
taskkill /f /im (WinGet COM Process Here)

You might be able to avoid it restarting, but I don't know how
Hope this helps
