📎 AI Summary:
The user reports that the .NET Framework installation utility, InstallUtil.exe, is using 100% of their GPU and automatically restarting every five minutes on Windows 10. They seek a way to prevent it from running automatically and to control its activation. The responder explains that InstallUtil.exe is meant for installing .NET assemblies and suggests using a process explorer tool to identify which process is calling it, implying that the high GPU usage may be caused by an external process rather than the utility itself.

hi, i'm on windows 10 and when i go to task manager, i see that net framework is using 100% of my GPU, i know that i need it for some programs but i don't want it to be on everytime. And when i end the task, it come back after +/- 5 mins. Can i stop it to start automaticly and how can i enable it again ?

That is used to install dotNet assemblies. It is not typically just running on it's own. You'll need to use something like procexp to determine what other process is calling it.
