Excessive power and CPU usage for Intel(R) Proset/Wireless Services on Inspiron 5570 after Win10 update KB4511552

After updating to the 2019-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for my Inspiron 5570, the CPU usage has been excessive. The primary culprits are the Intel PROset/Wireless Event Log Service and Zero Configure Service. The CPU usage jumps to 25% (+/- 5%), and remains at those levels. While the AC adapter is plugged in the cooling fan is constantly at full speed. After uninstalling the update I haven't been able to replicate the issue. Has this occurred for anyone else?

Try installing these Driver Updates then try to update W10 again.

Welcome to the Dell Community  @other guy 

Since your model is different please start a new "Discussion"

To better assist you, the members would need the exact model number of your laptop/desktop???

Identify your Dell:

Exact scenario with my Dell XPS 13 2 in 1.  Dell was no help at all.  Do you think the procedure listed will work for the XPS 13?

Dell was no help at all...they just wanted to charge me for a solution that their update created.  I was able to resolve the issue by updating the PROset drivers directly from Intel.

It is running for 30 min. now at 50% (+/- 5%).
The CPU usage is 100%
I have Windows 10 v. 1909 (Build 18363.836) on a DELL Latitude 7480.

The DELL drivers are up-to-date.

I have the same issue that just started today (11/28/2020) on my Inspiron 5758.with both the Intel Proset Wireless Zero Configuration Service as well as the Intel Proset Wireless Event Log Service.  Both processes are using at least 55% of my CPU.  Another process I've never noticed before "The Local Authority Security Service" is using another 15-18%. 

My most recent Windows 10 Update was November 10, 2020—KB4586781 (OS Builds 19041.630 and 19042.630)

My fan is running hard and loud.

 

Will installing these same Drivers as recommended following this earlier Windows update in 2019 help with my recent issues?
