Greetings All
Something you might try is to change the WDFME.EXE service to a manual start using manage - services after right-clicking Computer from the start menu. This will start WDFME when starting WD Smartware.
Three points to note:
- WD Smartware is slow to start-up
- Your processor consumption will go up dramatically during your use of WD Smartware
- You may need to manually stop the WDFME.EXE service after you finish with WD Smartware
Making this change has dramatically reduced my processor consumption and allowed me to get on with day-to-day activities.
Cheers
Jim
