Many Multimedia Class Scheduler Service stops and starts repeatedly
I'm wondering why the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service keeps stopping and re-starting throughout the day, about every 10-15 minutes.
If it should not be doing this, of course I would like to be able to configure my system to stop cycling this service.
I was looking at my event logs for an unrelated reason and noticed the large number of these service stop/start cycles.
For example (stop, then start):
