Question AddInprocess.exe is hogging GPU memory and making games runs choppy

[suhailkhan482]

Hello everyone,

So here is the problem i was getting huge spikes in GPU dedicated memory while the system was running nothing more then casual browsing of the internet and some more. As soon as i run any game the GPU memory gets maxed out and i am getting like 8-10 FPS. I started digging up everything and then i found out that my GPU cuda cores are working at 100% all the time for no reason at all. After 2-3 days of searching left and right i found the culprit it was "AddInProcess" as soon as i block that process or terminate it using third party PC optimiser and all everything gets back to normal but the issue arises that as soon i close the optimiser program that process comes back to life.
Now my question is that is there any way other than a clean installation of windows to prevent this process to ever coming back up.
Also i have checked for malware on my system other than Utorrent as an unwanted program there were no flags.

My system configuration is
CPU- AMD ryzen 5 3600
GPU- MSI rtx 2060 ventus 6gb
16 Gb dual channel memory\
corsair CV 650 Bronze

Try finding the path of the Addinprocess and delete if it's not in use.

The process is under .Net Framework and for some reason i need microsoft permission to delete it.

Uninstall Net Framework and reinstall it that might help.

File corruption perhaps.

Try "sfc /scannow" and "dism".

Check this link it will help you turn off the net framework and see if that fixes the problem.

I'm an IT engineer and can say for sure that today I found a process called "taskmgr.exe" that was very much a virus. Signed by Microsoft and everything.
A cryptominer probably so high GPU usage but they where using another process to do so, in this case it was called "AddinProcess.exe" a safe DirectX file.
As the guys say this one is not located in the System32 folder.
You could delete it of course. But that does not guarantee that you will be safe. Because another program in your computer (Also infected) could recreate it and start the problem all over again.
If you don't know how to deal with this things I recommend to backup your documents and re install windows.



Be safe, bye!
