I was playing bf4, and I am checking CPU usage and what not. I clicked the cpu tab in resource monitor and under the service bar in the CPU tab, I see "plugPLay" avergaing about 6-7% and "event system" is using a little as well. In total, the CPU Usage in the Services section calculates to 14-20%. Do these processes sound normal, if not, how do i stop them? I have been having FPs issues lately with my games, for at least a month and half, and I just now started checking for any background processes were causing it. I am not sure if those two I mentioned above are the reason, but I hope they are..

EDIT: i started a enw game of BF4, and now the CPU usage in services is at 29-40% along with my processes (under the same CPU tab in task manager) which are at the same %. Is there anyway to stop all of these Services???? thats a chunk of cpu usage thats being devoted to stuff that does not help me.
