Now how is this related to Chefdk? Well procmon showed that all the rundll32 process was doing was iterating over the c:\opscode folder and its children. So I disabled all three of them – problem solved. I triggered each service and found out three of them spawned the rundll32 process. So I checked some blogs and forum posts and found out that there a couple of scheduled tasks that are enabled and run even if the service is disabled and stopped. Every now and then the process would turn up again. I disabled the service however that did not solve the problem. The Application Experience service is basically the service that helps you when you run a program that has compatibility issues: This pointed towards the Application Experience service. I fired up process explorer and found out that rundll32 was loading aeinv.dll, with the parameter: UpdateSoftwareInventory. The process consuming the core was rundll32.exe. After a while I noticed that my fan kept blowing and task manager showed that there was an average 25% cpu load ( so basically 100% on one logical core).

When I was setting up my new Windows 8.1 laptop I ran into an issue after installing my development tools such as Vagrant, Chefdk and Github for Windows.
And working with Chef and related technologies can be daunting – not in the least due to the cultural differences between a classic Windows environment and the Linux world where things like versioned configuration management and configuration mainly based on files has been commonplace for quite some time.īut that is not the topic of this particular post.
However even in a perfectly automated and continuously tested environment stuff still breaks. Secondly, after some hesitation, I’ve fully embraced both Chef and Ruby and quite honestly can’t quite imagine doing things any other way right now.
Luckily the personal change that motivated me to move my blog did work out – I’m still very happily employed at Schuberg Philis. But for some reason that just didn’t work out. If you like my content please do check out my new blog at !įirst of all – quite some time ago I decided to move my blog to a new platform, a new server and a new domain.
