Hello @Blank and welcome to the Community!

Thank you for sharing this observation with us.

First, let's determine which service you are referring to, as there are several with bdservicehost.exe. Can you share a screenshot of the Details tab in Task Manager, please? Also, it is important for us to know if other activities are being executed on the device, such as browsing, watching a movie, streaming, copying files, updating windows, etc.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards
