AW2721D, process CPU too high
CPU usage of my Alienware AW2721D is too high:
AWCC.Background.Server
What is this doing? Is it possible to shut down?
Cheers

Alienware Command Center can be for AW2721d monitor, but also for LEDs and what-not (if connected to an Alienware desktop).
Looks like AW-CC is caught in a process. Likely trying to update or similar activity.
You can try uninstalling it, rebooting, and clean-installing the proper version for this machine.
It's generally known to not try to use it's internal updating facility (where it tries to update itself).
