Xboxstat.exe taking up cpu

[Ghost[FoE]]

To all the people with cpu problems, if you have xboxstat.exe running, disable it. It's not a necessary program and will use around 15% cpu power all the time! I had lag/stuttering constantly, until I turned this program off. It's not a fix to the issue, it just makes it a little more tolerable to play through. Just thought I'd pass this on, in the hopes it helps a few people.

This is for Xbox Gamepad drivers. If you use a 360 controller, do not disable it.

this has no affect on my pc 5mb of ram and no cpu usage while idle.

You actually dont need xboxstat.exe to use xbox controllers on pc. It is a program that gathers info for microsoft. I have it disabled and still use my controller just fine.

That doesnt sound right, I have it on there in the backround and it takes less than 0.5% of the available ram and it has no impact on the CPU whatsoever. Sounds like something is wrong on your end.

Actually, if you google xboxstat.exe, it's a very common problem.
