Computer running slow due to wmpnetwk.exe or wmpnscfg.exe

wmpnetwk.exe is the main exe for Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.

I have seen it take up over 90% of the physical memory.


The easiest way to disabled it is:

  1. Open Run
  2. Type Services.msc
  3. Locate windows media player network sharing service   
  4. right click and select properties
  5. click on stop
  6. select start-up type as Disabled or Manual
  7. press OK
