The Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service process is using more than 40% of CPU usage.

How do I stop this nonsense.

I've already answered this question. Refer to my answer here.

Note : using this solution will cause crashes in MS Office products, and its the only solution i've found so far. If you are fine with products like WPS Office,Ashampoo Office,OpenOffice or LibreOffice,then this should be the right solution for you.

  • I've been waiting for an update to solve this issue,but it seems that this isnt an 'issue',everytime i foce a MS program to close,this 'Microsoft software protection plateform' popup on the task manager. as i am only comfortable with using MS Office,i had to let it do what it does and stopped worrying about it. – Ayman Boubleh Jun 13 '18 at 22:53
