igfxEM module taking up lots of CPU

About a month ago, I found that I could not lower the brightness on my screen. Looking in the Devices Manager, my computer told me that the driver was broken, but offered not solutions. After looking online, I was directed to an HP program that installed three Intel graphics drivers on my machine. The fix worked but only for 2 weeks. The problem returned so I reinstalled those drivers and the problem was fixed.

Ever since then, there has been an igfxEM module taking up a lot of my CPU. It is slowing down my browsers and other programs on my computer. Could anyone tell me how to solve this or whether this has anything to do with the drivers I installed.

I'm running Windows 10 November 2015 Update x64, with Intel Celeron CPU N28 @2.16Ghz, and 4 GB of RAM

Below I've attached two pictures, the first being one of the task manager with the high CPU usage and the second of the driver installed on my machine:

I would recommend updating to the latest video drivers, there is an updated driver you might want to try: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25977/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-33-?v=t https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25977/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-33-?v=t

 

 

Please let me know your findings.

Hi.

I have the same issue - igfxEM module is using up too much CPU processig power continuously. It slows my PC right down.

I have a Dell laptop running Windows 8 and using the following processor:

Intel Core i7-5500U CPU @ 2.4GHz

with 8 GB RAM

64 Bit operating system

Which driver update would you recommend?

Thank you.

Were you able to load graphics drivers version 4539?
