Windows 11 Mini apps load CPU quite bad

Didn’t mind the mentioning of MS products here, but the office PC with Windows 11 onboard gets me to write down a case about.

The Problem: PC’s cooling fan goes on full speed with the only office apps run, the CPU load ~18%, most of caused by some “Windows Mini Apps” group with several instances of MS Edge WebView2 inside.

I don’t use any widgets and dynamic menu plates, so it’s preferable for me to make the system as lightweight as I can. Moreover, there are a lot of bugs in that package had been found, as googling results say.

The Solution: Remove the package completely from cmd launched as Administrator:

winget uninstall "windows web experience pack"

CPU load 3% as result, the fan is quiet.
