Word consumes many CPU

Hello,

We have Word 2013 on Windows Server 2012R2. All updates (including updates of august 2015) are installed. Users work with Word by Remote Desktop.
When users work in "Print Layout" view with tables (even only move mouse over them) the Word consumes about 10-20 % of CPU. This is very many because on this server must work many people.
This occur even if there is only one page with only one small table (30-40 rows)

Please help me understand how can I change settings of Word in order to avoid mentioned consuming of CPU.
Thank you

George Zhao,

Thank you for answer. Unfortunately disabling of add-ins did not help.
I have sent email with log of Performance Monitor to email address that you advised.

Hi,

I have received your log, and read it. But there was no detailed information about this issue, only showed WinWord occupied 40% of CPU at some points.

We might use another tool (Windows Performance Toolkit) and check if it is helpful:

PS: The log uses ETL file edition.

Hi,

The Word 2013 performance issue might due to several factors. I recommend you use Windows Performance Monitor to collect log data for analysis.

Before this, please disable add-ins, hardware acceleration etc... You can analyze by yourself if you would like to or send to us (ibsofc@microsoft.com)

Hope it's helpful.
