Windows 10 April update made LockApp.exe pop up.

[VerTiG]

So basicly i usually wait 2week to 2 months before installing major updates due to bugs/issues that microsoft is very well known to have in their win 10 "major updates" right so to the point i installed the april major update yesterday after that LockApp.exe popped up in the task manager same did happen last year with creators update but the process went away after a restart now it stays on constantly and ive never had this process pop up even tho ive locked my computer multiple times before i ran windows defender scan and malwarebytes scan and nothing...

So in wondering how can i disable this process because its not vital windows process and sometimes it uses my gpu resources...

Sounds like the upgrade hasn't been done cleanly. Try this I found on MIcrosoft support forum.
