Multimedia class scheduler service

quote hiigaran

so is this necessary or not? ive read that i shouldnt disable it, but so far i havent seen any problems. im trying to see if any of the services i have running might be affecting TF2, and my event log shows this particular service coinciding with the number of temporary lockups ive been having for a while with the game.

How's your video and audio playback once you've disabled it? This service looks after all that by optimising the available CPU space at any given point - could be conflicting with your TF2 and thus causing you grief. However, disabling it might affect your video and audio playback, so give that a test and let us know how it goes.

I haven't no, but I have heard of similar issues amongst other people across different games. It's essentially the service is struggling to know when the CPU is in use (such as playing a game) and when it's not, and thus is allocating resources inefficiently.

Let us know how you go with the videos. If you notice no difference, then you might be safe just to keep it disabled. If you do find a problem, then we'll have to find another solution.
