Many users of their dozen more than once noticed an overestimated load on the system due to the WSAPPX process. Today we will tell you what kind of service it is and what processes in the system it is responsible for. We will also give a couple of practical tips to reduce the load on the Windows 10 disk with it.
What is this Wsappx process?
Wsappx is a process responsible for the stable operation of Windows Store components, which is present by default in the top ten. This service does not exert a constant load on the disk, it only happens when the list of applications, news and games offered in the start menu is updated. Also, with the active operation of the store itself (launching, uninstalling, updating pre-installed applications), the service can greatly increase the percentage of the load.
What are these processes doing?
This all sounds complicated, but it really isn’t. According to their entries in the Services panel , ClipSVC and WSService “provide infrastructure support for the Microsoft Store.” If you disable them, the Store apps will not work as these processes handle licensing. They are designed to protect against piracy for Windows Store apps ( if such a thing exists ).
Another process, AppXSVC , works to deploy applications. This means that it runs every time you install, uninstall, or update a Store app. Its name comes from the file extension for AppX store apps . Conversely, traditional desktop software typically runs from an executable file that ends in EXE .
Why is the wsappx process overloading the system?
The main task of virus software is to inject into a computer system and create an adverse effect on its files. Such applications or code elements are embedded in the code of the main program, forcing it to perform its functions in a different way, or completely change its priority – for example, to spy on the user and his personal information. There is always a chance of infection, so we strongly recommend that you scan your computer with antivirus software more often.
Damage to registry data
The registry is one of the elements of the operating system responsible for the functioning of installed programs. It stores all information about applications, including location, startup parameters, work automation, etc. Accordingly, if the registry data of a program is damaged, there is almost a 100% risk that it will not work properly.

Unintentional user exposure
For example, there are times when we turn off one of the system processes without even assuming that it is closely related to another. Thus, we break the whole chain of interaction between different services. The result may be the failure of one of the processes, which cannot correctly perform its tasks.
One of the consequences of damage to processes is an unnecessarily high load on the hard disk, which can be identified by the value of 100% in the task manager. In most cases, it is created by a process such as wsappx.
