High CPU usage in Windows 8 with Device Association Framework?
If you’ve recently started using Windows 10, you might have come across a problem where everything starts running really slow. Finally, if you’ve taken a look at the processes in Windows 10, you might have noticed that a certain process is eating up a lot of your CPU.
At least that’s what happened to me on one of my Windows 10 machines. I’ve installed Windows 10 on several computers and they were all working fine until I installed it on a Lenovo laptop. When I checked the task manager, I saw that the Device Association Framework Provider Host (daHost.exe) process was taking up almost 90% of the CPU on the system! Normally it should be at zero and using only a few MB of RAM.
If you see this on your system, the problem could be with an outdated driver running on your system. The process is used to connect wireless and wired devices to Windows. Since Windows 10 is fairly new and is updated twice a year, there is still a lot of hardware that Windows 10 does not yet support by providing compatible drivers.
