Hi Dennis,

The CompatTelRunner.exe is connected with the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program and can be disabled in the Task Scheduler. To do this, follow these steps:

Click Start, type task scheduler and press Enter.
On the Task Scheduler window, go to this path: Task Scheduler Library\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience.
On the Application Experience folder, look for Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser.
Right-click Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser and select Disable.
Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

Let us know the results of the solution above.
