According to the Microsoft Feedback Center database, there is a serious bug in Windows 11 networking that causes increased CPU usage by the sihost.exe process, also known as Shell Infrastructure Host. The increased load on the CPU leads to the fact that the PC starts to “slow down”.

Shell Infrastructure Host can use processor resources in excess for various reasons. sihost.exe is a Windows 11 system process, it is involved in the display of the Start menu, taskbar and important graphical elements of the OS interface. For example, transparency effects are indispensable without it. The bug occurs spontaneously and even in freshly installed Windows 11. Users note that trivial copying of files can cause increased CPU usage by the sihost.exe process.

Microsoft is naturally aware of the problem. The company has already released a patch for the beta version of Windows 11 under the designation KB5016700. The company says that this minor update “fixes an issue that caused sihost.exe to use a lot of CPU in some cases.” But one thing is a beta version of Windows, and another thing is the final one. The patch that fixes the sihost.exe bug will reportedly be part of the big Windows 11 22H2 update, which is expected to be released in September or October.
