The Mullvad windows service causes the microsoft COM Surrogate Process to use up 20% cpu usage, even when mullvad is not actively in use and the prcocess is not running ( only the service ).
Done extensive windows image diagnostics via cmd etc, always came up without negative results. Checked system for malware with malwarebytes and windows defender. No resuls.
Deactivated all non windows services and then piece by piece figured out its the Mullvad service causing this.
I reinstalled mullvad, cleared the registry of mullvad entries, the issue is still present.
What gives?
This only happened since the latest update, It did not happen a few months ago.
