Thanks for the info, Steve. When I say I have trouble keeping my device drivers up to date, that's an understatement. A quick count of the devices listed under Device Manager shows an excess of 100 devices........some of these I recognize, others I have no idea what they are. Therefore, I don't always know which manufacturer to go to for driver updates. Thus my dilemma and my inquiry about driver updater tools. I just don't see how you keep track of it all without a tool.
In regard to your question about whether I noticed any performance issues on the computer when I got notified that CPU usage was at 100%? Yes I did.
In regard to your question about did the WDF load drop if I closed the IP Camera software. I don't know, because I didn't try that. I will next time it happens.
Most of what you see in Device Manager are going to be components of the computer's motherboard -- USB, for example, will have a slew of entries for the ports on your PC even if nothing is connected to those ports.
I will await an update on what happens if you close the IP Camera software when the problem with excessive CPU happens.
