Visual Studio Uninstallation sometimes can be unreliable and often leave out a lot of unwanted artifacts. Visual Studio Uninstaller is designed to thoroughly and reliably remove these unwanted artifacts.
I was meaning to uninstall visual studio 2015 but the uninstall process was taking too long and was not moving on so I quit the process midway.
After quitting, my fan started rotating too fast and I found out that 'visual studio community 2015 update' procedure was eating up a lot of CPU (and not sure if it is related but windows search filter/protocol host and windows search indexer was also using a lot of CPU at the same time) i tried force quitting it but it kept turning back on.
I rebooted my laptop but it was still using 100% of the CPU and it took some time before the 2015 update stopped running and the CPU consumption came back to normal.
However, I know that windows search filter/protocol host and windows search indexer normally holds a portion of the CPU, but I'm disturbed by the fact that it is now higher than it used to be.
Is it somehow related to quitting the uninstall process midway?
edit: on turning on laptop everytime, I've found that Windows installer, windows VSIX installer and Microsoft compatibility telemetry are the ones that are popping up and using all the CPU.
I have to manually quit the process in order to stabilize my computer. Is there a way to solve this? or do I just have to try uninstalling again?
edit: I've successfully uninstalled VS 2015 but the Microsoft compatibility telemetry and windows search ~ processes are still using a lot of CPU, I did some searching about these and I understand that it's running because a lot of files have been changed/deleted recently? If my understanding is correct, I guess I just have to wait for it to finish it's job
