There is a process (Conexant Flow) that causes high CPU usage on my system. It seems to be an issue with an interaction with Firefox. I can kill the process, but it restarts seconds later and starts hammering the CPU again.

I have noticed that some processes in the Task Manager show as suspended, and I think this may put paid to this rogue process, however I can't work out how to put it in this state. Is there any way to suspend a process either with a PowerShell command or another method that doesn't require administrator privileges?

    Use [ProcessExplorer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer) - it allows to suspenв particular process. – Akina Sep 24 '19 at 11:38
