"Window audio device graph isolation" issues

Does anyone else have the problem that Audacity causes the “Window audio device graph isolation” process to tax the CPU? If so, is there a fix?

What does that mean?

It’s a Windows 10 process. When I download Audacity on my new computer it is activated inappropriately and causes a lot of cpu usage with the laptop overheating. I can see in the task manager that it’s the “windows audio device graph isolation” process causing the issue. This does not happen on my old Samsung, but is happening on a brand new HP. I can’t use the program like this and can’t figure out a fix.

Unfortunately that article did not help.

Hi, it’s not an audacity problem, it’s a windows 10 problem, chances are your windows 10 audio drivers are not working properly,
you might even see windows 10 audio device graph isolation with high CPU usage.
