AddInprocess.exe is consuming excessive GPU memory and causing games to run poorly.
Hello everyone,
So here is the problem i was getting huge spikes in GPU dedicated memory while the system was running nothing more then casual browsing of the internet and some more. As soon as i run any game the GPU memory gets maxed out and i am getting like 8-10 FPS. I started digging up everything and then i found out that my GPU cuda cores are working at 100% all the time for no reason at all. After 2-3 days of searching left and right i found the culprit it was "
AddInProcess
" as soon as i block that process or terminate it using third party PC optimiser and all everything gets back to normal but the issue arises that as soon i close the optimiser program that process comes back to life.
Now my question is that is there any way other than a clean installation of windows to prevent this process to ever coming back up.
Also i have checked for malware on my system other than Utorrent as an unwanted program there were no flags.
My system configuration is
CPU- AMD ryzen 5 3600
GPU- MSI rtx 2060 ventus 6gb
16 Gb dual channel memory\
corsair CV 650 Bronze
Search for the Addinprocess path and remove it if it's not active.
The procedure operates within the .Net Framework and requires Microsoft authorization to remove it.
Remove the Net Framework and try reinstalling it, which could resolve the issue.
File corruption might be the issue. Consider running "sfc /scannow" and "dism".

I couldn't locate any relevant content on that topic, but I can help you find a thread or article if you'd like. Just let me know!
I'm an IT professional and can confirm today I encountered a process named "taskmgr.exe" which was clearly malicious. It was signed by Microsoft and appeared legitimate. A cryptominer likely caused excessive GPU usage, but another process named "AddinProcess.exe" was involved, which is a safe DirectX file. This file wasn't found in the System32 directory. You could remove it, but that doesn't ensure complete safety. Another infected program might regenerate it and restart the issue. If you're unsure how to handle this, I suggest backing up your files and reinstalling Windows. Stay safe.
