What is CompatTelRunner.exe on Win10 ? And How to disable it ?

CompatTelRunner.exe is also known as Windows Compatibility Telemetry. This periodically sends usage and performance data to Microsoft IP addresses so that improvements can be made on user experience and fix potential errors. This is normally enabled by default but there is a way to disable it.

To disable compattelrunner.exe, just execute:

Task Scheduler  – Microsoft – Windows – Application Experience – right click on each task for: DISABLE

Et voilà !

No more problem on my Dell Inspiron 7520.

At least, a way out shorter answer than the upper ‘Microsoft Support Engineer’ (I hate those kind of answer, they could tie you up on your computer for months, for nothing).

Alljoyn Router Service is not malicious.

The Internet of Things (IoT) can only succeed when things are able to communicate with one another. Within proprietary networks, establishing that communication is fairly easy — but interoperability becomes a challenge as businesses seek ways to communicate seamlessly with customers and suppliers using heterogeneous networks. At this week’s AllSeen Alliance Summit, Microsoft made a major contribution to enabling that communication by announcing that AllJoyn will be implemented into Windows 10.

A project of the cross-industry AllSeen Alliance, AllJoyn is an open source software framework and set of services that aims to enable interoperability among connected devices, regardless of the underlying proprietary technology or communications protocols. By implementing AllJoyn in Windows 10, Microsoft is joining with more than 80 alliance members to support interoperability across a variety of platforms and at scale, advancing the development and vision of IoT. Read more on the MS Open Tech blog; information developers is on the Building Apps for Windows blog.

There is a process I found in my Task Manager named CTF Loader (32 bit) (ctfmon.exe) and I have just noticed it now, although in the properties of the file it says it was created last year. It’s size is 10.5kb and size on disc is 12.0kb. The file is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Is this supposed to be on my computer or is it a virus or some sort of malware?

What is CTF Loader ( ctfmon.exe )?

It’s an Office File and it’s in my computer (W7) too.

It’s a legitimate file.

Don’t worry it about it.

CTFMon is involved with the language/alternative input services in Office XP. CTFMON.exe will continue to put itself back into MSConfig when you run the Office XP apps as long as the Text Services and Speech applets in the Control Panel are enabled. Not required if you don’t need these features.

How to disable touchpad windows 10

Basically, you must uninstall your current driver; then, upon a restart it will automatically install the updated driver with which you can disable with Fn+F9 normally.

These are the steps to do so:

• Open up the Control Panel, then search for “Mouse” in the upper right search bar. Click on the first result to open up a “Mouse Properties” box.
• Navigate to the rightmost “Hardware” tab to find installed touchpad devices. Assuming device drivers for a mouse are installed, click on the device which is not your mouse. For my system, it was named, “Asus Support Device.”
• Once you have selected it, click on the “Properties” button near the bottom right to open up the device’s properties.
• A new box will appear; go to the second tab named “Driver” on it. Continue by clicking on the “Uninstall” button on the bottom. A new dialogue box will appear. Ensure that you will not “delete driver software,” and click “OK.”
• It will then ask you to restart your computer. Do so. After the restart, it should tell you that it is installing the new device driving for “ASUS Touchpad.” In my situation, it required me to restart my computer again.
• After the second restart, your touchpad driver should be completely up to date, and Fn+F9 will disable the touchpad, as it should.

What Is the Console Window Host Process?

Understanding the Console Window Host process requires a little bit of history. In the Windows XP days, the Command Prompt was handled by a process named the ClientServer Runtime System Service (CSRSS). As the name implies, CSRSS was a system level service. This created a couple of problems. First, a crash in CSRSS could bring down a whole system, which exposed not just reliability issues, but possible security vulnerabilities as well. The second problem was that CSRSS could not be themed, because the developers didn’t want to risk theme code to run in a system process. So, the Command Prompt always had the classic look rather than using new interface elements.

Could This Process Be a Virus?

The process itself is an official Windows component. While it’s possible that a virus has replaced the real Console Window Host with an executable of its own, it’s unlikely. If you’d like to be sure, you can check out the underlying file location of the process. In Task Manager, right-click any Service Host process and choose the “Open File Location” option.

If the file is stored in your Windows\System32 folder, then you can be fairly certain you are not dealing with a virus.

There is, in fact, a trojan out there named Conhost Miner that masquerades as the Console Window Host Process. In Task Manager, it appears just like the real process, but a little digging will reveal that it’s actually stored in the %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft folder rather than the Windows\System32 folder. The trojan is actually used to hijack your PC to mine Bitcoins, so the other behavior you’ll notice if it’s installed on your system is that the memory usage is higher than you might expect and the CPU usage maintains at very high levels (often above 80%).

DPI is the standard used to measure the mouse sensitivity, expressed as the number of DPIs (dots per linear inch) that a device can detect. By changing the DPI, you can instantly adjust pointer speed for precision tasks, such as in-game targeting or photo editing. The greater the number of DPIs, the higher the mouse sensitivity, and the faster the pointer speed. Some mouse models include dedicated buttons (DPI On-the-fly buttons) you can use to instantly adjust your mouse sensitivity (DPI).

Change mouse sensitivity (DPI) settings

• If your mouse has DPI on-the-fly buttons, press one of the DPI On-the-fly buttons to create new settings for each DPI button. The mouse LCD will briefly display the new DPI setting.
• If your mouse doesn’t have DPI on-the-fly buttons,  You choose Control Panel => Mouse => Pointer Options => then you change speed you want => OK
