Disable Chrome Software Reporting Tool and metrics reporting registry
This app runs as part of Chrome and scans your computer for software, reporting back to Google.
It takes up a lot of CPU and disk IO, so it's helpful to disable it. Also it is unclear exactly what it scans and reports back, so it may have privacy implications too.
As an added bonus, this registry also disables metrics reporting.
