How To Fix Host Process for Setting Synchronization (Settingsynchost.Exe) High CPU Usage.
Host Process for Setting Synchronization (SettingSynchHost.exe) is a process which synchronizes all your system settings with your other devices. It syncs all sorts of stuff such as if you change your wallpaper on one computer, it will be changed on all other computers as well. Similarly, it also synchronizes your Internet Explorer, OneDrive, Xbox and other useful applications.
This process is found in the System32 folder and is known to be a fairly important process on Windows. However, as useful this process might be, it often causes various problems such as it consumes a lot of resources (CPU) for indefinite periods of time. There were some cases where this process consumed 100% of one of the logical processors all the time.
