Flow.exe spikes to 20% CPU and causes sporadic windows freeze

[passthejoe]

Modifying the sqlite database did NOT work for me. The only thing that works is renaming Flow.exe (to _Flow.exe, or anything else).

FYI, there has been activity on my bug report with Mozilla:

Changing the name of Flow.exe C:\Program Files\CONEXANT\Flow\Flow.exe) to _Flow.exe worked in my HP Envy DV7 as well. Can scroll in Firefox again!

Thx Janakaud!

Hello,

To my knowledge the solution to this issue is to update the Conexant driver.

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06209366

but the link to the driver Inside this doc is outdated.

Latest version is dated July 2019 : 12.43.1.118 Rev.Q

That is NOT a driver meant for my computer (HP Envy as133cl). 

Latest drivers for my laptop (with Conexant still causing Flow.exe to spike when Firefox is running):

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/12499192/model/127807...

And this is the Conexant driver:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/12499192/mo...

I tried to install the driver you suggest, but it won't install because it isn't compatible with this laptop.

Same exact problem on EliteBook 840, Windows 10

Uninstalled Conexant B&O in control panel, rebooted, I have my system back.

I am going to run without sound for now so I can work.

How are HP and Conexant still in business?  This is a shameful situation

Hello,

What is the generation of your HP Elitebook 840 ? G4 ? G5 ?

[Twannie]

I have a HP Elitebook G5. I have the services disabled and I have no problems after that. My sound is working normally.
