Chrome browser occupies too much CPU resources (Software Reporter Tool)

The high CPU resource usage of the Chrome browser may be caused by the Software Reporter Tool process. For details, you can enter the task manager to query.

What is Software Reporter Tool?

Software Reporter Tool is a Chrome cleaner tool to clean Google Chrome of unnecessary or malicious extensions, applications, hijacking start pages and more. When you install Chrome, Software_reporter_tool.exe will also be downloaded in the Chrome application data folder under the SwReporter folder.

How to close Software Reporter Tool?

Method 1: Modify
the default directory of the configuration file manifest.json SRT to:

C:Users[YourName]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\SwReporter\[版本]\

As mine is:

C:\Users\AS\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\SwReporter\104.288.200

You can also use the win+r key to open the run command window and enter the following command to quickly find it

%localappdata%GoogleChromeUser DataSwReporter

After entering the directory, open the manifest.json file inside, and change the "allow-reporter-logs": true in the startup parameter "launch_params" from true to false, as shown in the figure below, and save it after modification.

5. Select "Remove from this object All Inherited Permissions", then click "OK" and "OK" all the way

The two-pronged approach works well! !
