Google Chrome Software Reporter Tool CPU High
Anyone else has this software reporter tool and High CPU? First, I don't like the fact there's nothing in Chrome settings to disable this.
Secondly, why is it so poorly written for Windows that it slams the CPU?
To disable, as there is a policy:
via cmd line in an Adminstrator Elevated session:
reg add hklm\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome /v ChromeCleanupEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0
reg add hklm\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome /v ChromeCleanupReportingEnabled/t REG_DWORD /d 0
Or put the following in a *.reg
file and just open it, but in an Administrator elevated session.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"ChromeCleanupEnabled"=dword:00000000
"ChromeCleanupReportingEnabled"=dword:00000000
You can see these policies here:
