 | "Battle.net agent update.exe" a SSD killer ?(1) | Category: Technical SupportJuly-6-2016 6:36 PM PDT (8 years ago)  |
| As you all know less we write on SSD better it is. So becarefull guys, if your B.net Launcher start with your windows I noticed yesterday after the last Overwatch Patch that the process "Battle.net Agent update.exe" is now consuming arount 45% - 50% CPU Load (without any game launched). But most important all my games are hosted on a SSD, for better performance, and with the Windows 10 task manager I noticed that the "B.net agent update.exe" is writing around 15-20 Mb/s. And I did not see any download or anything particular activies. wondering what this agent.exe is writing on the drive?#!!? For sure the workaround to close the B.net Laucnher when u launch a game could solve this issue, but what a "shame" workaround. When you google this issue with the agent.exe...it is a recurent issue from stone age and never (permanent) fixed by Blizzard. Between Battle.net Helper.exe (before 2 process) consuming lot of CPU Load, now only one Helper.exe and no more CPU, but the Update Agent.exe is now giving the same issue + TRYING to rape your SSD!!! Hope quickly another patch asap. | ||

| Hey Laco, Since you have a WoW account it's likely the background download of the new patch data you're seeing, for a more effective "workaround" go to the settings on your Battle.net App and turn off background downloads. _____________________________________________________ Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Tiogaradh | ||
