Mobile Plans Background Task Host
I installed Windows 10 (upgrading a Windows 7 Toshiba Laptop) several weeks ago and everything seemed to be working fine. A few days ago I started to see that when I went to close down the laptop ' Task Host stopping background tasks' If I cancelled the shutdown (thinking something was still updating) no matter how long I left it (tried up to 2 hours once) when selecting shut down again I had the same thing. So I was forced to select 'Shut down anyway'I have looked in the update settings when this is happening and a row of dots are running across the top of the page. Indicating to me it's doing some sort of update.
But what?I have seen other topics talking about Firefox, is this possibly the problem. I was previously used IE and Firefox occasionally.
As IE has been replaced by Edge I thought I should try to use this instead, but as soon afterwards I got a message saying NORTON (as yet) was not supporting Edge and I should not use it (or something like that). I then changed my defaults to Firefox (my second choice).
Mobile Plans Background Task Host 2016
Mobile Plans app randomly running in the background? Just discovered this task running TODAY, after my computer was being sluggish and topping 100% swap.
I am wondering what Windows 10 is doing to all my favourites from when I used IE. Is this causing the issues. At times when I return to Firefox for a second time, I get a message saying Firefox is still open!
And I should close it. I don't understand this and I can't find anything to confirm that it's indeed already open.Having tried to open Firefox for a second time, the Laptop works so slow it's almost unusable. The only way is to force a shut down and start again, it's then OK till you try and open Firefox for a second time.Any thoughts?
Hello.I had mentioned in an earlier post that since I upgraded a laptop to Windows 10, the CPU fan kept running on high all the time. I found out the cause of the problem were these two background processes:From Microsoft Background Task Host - backgroundTaskHost.exeFrom Microsoft Download/Upload Host - BackgroundTransferHost.exeThey are both located in the C:WindowsSystem32 folder and whenever they run, which happens at seemingly random times, CPU utilization goes up to 60 or even 80%.Does anybody know what these processes are for, or how to disable them to prevent them from running?Thank you.

Windows 10 Mobile Plans Process
Should tell you what the problem is. Well, I still haven't found out what these two processes are for. One reply that I did get in another forum saying that these processes 'finish building install caches, optimizing system files, and downloading patches' seemed very vague.I also found other instances of people noticing a process called 'Photos Background Task Host' use up a lot of CPU, and another one who noticed a process called 'Facebook Background Task Host' in Windows 8.1, although this one did not specifically mention that there was a high CPU use.Could these two processes have something to do with Windows Store apps? Who can tell me.?
