Question

Issue: What is Wondershare Passport and how to fix high cpu by wsappservice.exe?

I've noticed that my PC runs much slower than it did before, so I did a small research on it and found a process WsAppService.exe using over 75% of the memory. This file is related to the Wondershare Passport, but I can't find such an application on my machine. The process is automatically re-enabled, so I can't stop it in a usual manner. Can someone please help?

Solved Answer

Wondershare Passport, a.k.a Wondershare AppService or WsAppService.exe is a part of the Wondershare App Framework or Wondershare Studio software. This process is a crucial part of the Wondershare programs, so it can be found running within the Windows Task manager if the system contains the installer of the mentioned apps.

However, Reddit[1] [2] is full of users' reports about the inappropriate performance of the Wondershare app service, which consumes CPU and significantly decreases the performance of the system. Originally, the process is located in the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Wondershare\\WAF\\2.4.3.237\\ directory and is less than 500 bytes size.

The biggest concern regarding a high CPU usage by Wondershare Passport in Task Manager is why it's there if the PCs user did not install any of the Wondershare apps. The problem is that most of the programs developed by this company might get installed on user's PCs bundled with other software.

A short pre-history of Wondershare Technology is required here. The company is a key member of the National Planning Software Enterprises of China and is famous for the development of application software, including Filmora, Dr.Fone, PDFelement, Recoverit, Video Converter, and others.

The products it offers are used across 150 countries and praised for bringing up the simplicity to people's daily routine. Unfortunately, for the last couple of years, people keep looking for an answer on how to uninstall Wondershare. Although all of the apps offered by this company are legitimate, some of the company's regulations have been changed and the apps, according to users, started performing unwanted activities, i.e.

  • The company ruined its reputation by failing to provide the key to unlock software functionalities upon making the payment;
  • The apps install Wondershare Helper (compact.exe)[3], which is a separate tool and is left on the system upon the removal of the main installer;
  • The Wondershare Helper displays popup ads and redirects web browser's to the Wondershare app support sites;
  • The software leaves the wsappservice.exe process running in Task Manager and consuming CPU power;
  • The free trial version of the Wondershare Software might be installed on the system bundled with free apps;
  • The Wondershare application framework service has been accused of spying[4] on its users and stealing credentials (the accusations have never been proved), etc.

Despite some negative features that the Wondershare app service acquired, the tools that the company spreads are legitimate[5], and people can try free trial versions or pay for the full-featured subscriptions.
