My computer was becoming unuseable, plus I thought the hard drive would burn out.
The Fan Motor could be heard all over the house.
My Solution.
To Fix the WDDMService CPU Hog
do the following:
To turn WDDMService OFF
GO TO control panel
Click on administrative tools
when it opens
Click on services
List of processes running will come up
Scroll down to WDDMservice
(there will be 3 WD listings
Right click WDDMService
Select Properties
On general Tab make two changes
CHANGE startup type to manual (drop down box)
CHANGE service status to STOP
CLICK OK
DO THE SAME THING FOR
WDFMEService
WDRulesService
ALL three will show Western Digital in the properties info
C:\Program Files\ Western Digital\WD SmartWare \WDD…
You should now be able to hear yourself think.
To use the back up service you will have to turn it on, I do not
plan on turning it back on. I had it set to run slow when computer was idle
but it never did! It ran full speed all the time.
I mostly use my Passport to store files on.
I may attempt to create a folder on my passport drive
and use windows back up and manually do a back up when I want one
Good Luck.
P.S.still using my computer and can’t even hear it!
and it is working FAST!
