I have a Lenovo Thinkpad and all of a sudden it was running slow. If you open the Task Manager and click on Performance and select the CPU it shows that the CPU’s Speed is at 0.4 GHz. No matter was settings you change in the BIOS or Power settings it will not change. According to Lenovo there was Windows update installed a new driver for the Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology software component. These are the steps to install the correct driver.

• Right click the Start button and open Device Manager.
• Locate the Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology device under Software Components.
• Uninstall the current driver from Device Manager, during the uninstall put a check mark to “Attempt to remove the driver for this device”
• Click on this link to download and Install the older driver: Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology Driver
• Restart the device.
• After installation, you need to prevent Windows from installing updates. You can do this by going to Settings / Windows Updates, then to the right of Pause Updates select 5 weeks. . Hopefully Microsoft will fix the update so that the next time it downloads it will not cause a problem.

High disk activity from the Capability Access Manager Service (camsvc) is typically caused by a runaway app or process repeatedly triggering Location or Camera permissions, causing the database’s write-ahead log (.db-wal) to bloat. Stop the service, delete the bloated file, and adjust privacy settings to resolve this.

Immediate Fix: Clear the Bloated Database File

1. Stop the Service: Press Win + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter. Scroll to Capability Access Manager Service (camsvc), right-click it, and select Stop.
2. Delete the .db-wal File: Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\CapabilityAccessManager. Locate the CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal file and delete it (leave the main .db file intact).
3. Restart the Service: Return to the Services window, right-click Capability Access Manager Service, and click Start.

Prevent the Issue from Returning

If the .db-wal file keeps rapidly expanding, a third-party app or background process is constantly polling for permission data.

1. Check Privacy Settings: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & security > Location.
2. Disable Runaway Access: Turn off Location services temporarily, or turn off Let desktop apps access your location.
3. Update or Isolate Third-Party Apps: Check for running browser overlays, screen recorders, or chat applications that may be requesting excessive background capabilities.
