Explorer.exe takes 100% of CPU

Hello

I have Windows Vista 32 Bit laptop computers of company with the following features:
Core2Duo 2.0 Ghz
2 GB OF RAM
HARD drive of 160 GB (two equal respectively to 27, with 25 GB of free space on partitions C & D)
256 MB ATI graphics card
I have automatic updates of Windows, so my version is up-to-date. I use NOD 32 Antivirus (latest virus definitions)
Since the last two days I noticed that my CPU usage is costantly 100% (even when the system is idle) and explorer.exe takes up most of the CPU (95-98%). So my laptop started running hot with the processor fans works at high speed. I have not installed new software recently. Can someone help me with the problem and bring down my CPU usage. I tried to change the parameters of the START property search (someone posted this solution on another forum), but with no improvement.

Hello Design_engg,

Try to start your system in safe mode:

  1. Restart your computer if it is running.
  2. Press and hold the F8 key for 3 seconds after your computer powers initially on.
  3. Once you see the menu Options advanced boot (or you hear a beep) you can stop.
  4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
  5. Select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER.
  6. You should see drivers loading, it may take a few moments.
  7. You should then be at the Welcome screen.
  8. Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.
  9. Now, you download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, Update then do a scan of your system in safe mode, to ensure that it is indeed clean! Once the scan done remove anything it finds. Simply restart your PC to see if your problem has been resolved!

    Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

    Hello Serresjio I can almost guarantee you that the troubleshooting steps will flip over as soon as you start back. my suggestion is if possible, remove the hard drive and the scanner on another computer with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast! Antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG etc. (all updates of course). usually, I use this method when everything has failed. Don't be too surprised boyfriend so often that I have a USB-(e sata, 1394, 2.5"/5.25 IDE) converter for the toughest jobs.

    Everything do you to not lose hope and format as most of the people do. I have corrected problems of windows than most irreparable thought technicians. It's just a matter of removing the cause and repair the damaged windows files. the problem can be solved the difficulty is just to use the proper tools/software. Lately I use Avast and MBAM with 100% recovery. It IS not JUST a single unrecoverable machine!

  • Svchost.ext takes 100% of CPU

    I ran AVG, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender, and no problems are obvious, but the CPU works almost constant, when the computer is in use. Sometimes, the fan runs so fast and made so much noise that I put the computer on 'stand by' and restart just to calm down the fan. Once when the machine was left running and monitoring, the computer off itself for high-speed fan.  Thanks for any help

    You need to determine which service is to take all your CPU and disable it.  Try the following...

    1. Download and run the "Process Explorer" from Microsoft.  It's basically a task manager on steroids:
      Process Explorer: <> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx >
    2. When you run Process Explorer, you will see the "svchost" instance that uses all of your CPU.  Place your cursor on the text "Svchost.exe".  A pop-up window will appear that will give you a list of Services that are running under this instance of svchost.  Sign for these services on a sheet of paper.
    3. Start up of the window (start-> Run-> "services.msc") Services.
    4. For each of these services you noted in step 2, find the service in the list, double-click it, and then click on "Stop" or "Pause."  If your CPU goes down to normal, then you have found the service giving you the problem.  If not, then restart or resume this service and move on to the next.
    5. When you have found the responsible service, you need determine how to manage it.  If it is a 3rd party application, then you may need to uninstall / reinstall this application.

    I had a previous experience that 'Windows Management Instrumentation' will often peg my machine 100% of the CPU.  Usually, it is only for 10-15 minutes or more and then it returns to normal.

  • LabVIEW loop takes 100% of cpu

    Hello

    I was wondering the best way to send a command series when a key is pressed.  At this moment I have a while loop that checks if the key each time.  If is is, it sends the command series and adds the response to a text via a shift register box.  If this isn't the case, the original text box info is passed to the shift register.  However, this loop takes 100% cpu (ok, a single core at 100% so technically 50%), and I think that its because the text box becomes ignored each cycle.  However, I'm not sure how else to do it.  Is attached a screenshot, let me know if you want to the file.

    Thank you

    Eric

    You have what is called a greedy loop. It runs just as fast as possible that finally consumes 100% of your CPU. Simply place a wait with a delay of 0 in the loop and this will allow the Planner to do other things and prevent the CPU to be hungry.

  • Console to take 100% of CPU on CPU0

    SC is running up to 100% then it drops to 50% and the rest b/w 65-75% on my ESX 3.5 update 3 and day 5 boxes.  I have checked all the newspapers, but found no errors.  Talked to Vmware, but they have no idea either as to why.  Any ideas/suggestions?  Thank you.

    When all else fails, restart.  Can you put the esxhost into maintenance mode to migrate your virtual machine, and then restart the host?

    The console takes ALL the CPU, but it is very difficult to say what inside the console is causing the high CPU usage, so the next best thing is to restart the host... to see if the problem goes away.

    It could be hung on a vmotion... so it could be the vkernel which is the CPU of doping.

    Hi done as recommended, it was "hpslpsvc" - count must be a service of HP, I am correct?

    Yes, it's the "HP Network Device Support" service.  If you use Google to hpslpsvc, you will find a large number of complaints and a few corrections proposed at HP.

    See, for example, this long thread: http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1286890571088+28353475&threadId=1177917 buried in this thread are information that leads to this RESUME "critical update": http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-65961-4&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=228&product=2512010

    There are also the following thread, which proposed adding hpslpsvc as an exception in Windows Firewall:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/Printer-driver-problem-on-HP-Photosmart-C6280/m-p/839

    From what I can tell, before the HP patch is available, two procedures most likely to solve the problem we have set the "Startup type" HP Network Device support on 'manual' and configure your HP device to use a static IP address.  So... try the HP update.  If that does not work, follow these steps (or add Firewall exception):

    To make the startup type of the service manual

    1. Start > run > services.msc > OK
    2. find HP Network Device Support, and double-click
    3. Set on "manual" Startup type (or you can try "disabled" and see if it causes other problems)
    4. Stop the service runs
    5. OK your way out

    To use static IP addresses (which is a good idea in any case).

    A. printer setup

    Using the controls on the front panel of the printer or the printer's built-in web server, configure the printer to use a manual IP address located in the subnet used by your router, but outside the range of IP addresses used by the DHCP server on your router.  Set the subnet, default gateway and DNS servers also.  (If you don't know what this means, or how do, after return with the brand and model of your router and your printer model.)  Repeat for each HP printer on a network, using a different IP address for each.

    B. configure ports

    1. Open Printers and faxes
    2. Right-click on the icon for the printer HP connected to the network
    3. Click on properties
    4. Click Ports tab
    5. Click "Configure Port"
    6. In the "Type the name of printer or IP address" box, enter the IP address that you set for the printer part A.
    7. OK your way out.
    8. Repeat for all printers HP connected to the network.

    Note that if your HP network device has been installed using the default 'HP standard TCP/IP"port you will notice on the Port configuration tab there is a box to check always 'print to this device, even if its IP address changes.' This box is not on the standard TCP/IP Windows port, and it's hpslpsvc who is responsible to control the IP address of the device to help Windows can find the device if IP address changes)

    I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.

    I think this explains the problem.  The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.

    C:\Users\Rick

    To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove.  When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.

  • BT stack file TosBTMng.Exe generates 100% of CPU load

    I am also facing the problem that the Toshiba Bluetooth Manager (TosBtMng.exe) very often starts a loop and causes a 100% CPU load.

    This has happened with older versions of the Toshiba Bluetooth stack and the current version (5.1.0.12).

    The affected system is a Tecra S1, BT-Modul and Windows XP SP2.

    BT battery installation went well and the laptop starts succesfull while BT is enabled. I also checked for hidden COM-Ports and other tips in this forum, without success.

    Blocking seems to occur at different times. Sometimes just after are restarted, by clicking on the tray icon of BT with the right button of the mouse. Then the context menu is shown all too the white box, no entries. He can also try to connect to a device already associated. If I kill the process with the Task Manager, I can restart and he continues to work for a while.

    As found in another thread here, I enabled the registration of the API of the Bluetooth Manager and found the following when connecting with the Nokia PC Suite for my mobile phone:

  • mscorsvw.exe using 100% of cpu - Windows xp

    Yesterday my computer has finished 17 automatic updates.  Since then, my computer has been bogged down and keeps freezing.  The CPU is at 100% pretty much all the time.  According to me, there are 2 mscorsvw entered in the Task Manager.  I tried to stop him without success.  I followed the instructions to get to the command prompt, but it keeps giving an error message when I try to make the process of ngen.exe executequeueditems.

    Thanks for your suggestion.  I tried everything without success.  Finally, I out my hard drive and installed as a second drive in another computer.  I then ran scans using Malware, Spybot and AdAware.  AdAware found 13 malicious infections, Spybot found one.  After that, it worked perfectly.

    Also - I installed Revo Uninstaller (the pro version with a 30 day free trial) - and ran all components.  The program cleaned up the drive beautifully and it now works better than ever.
  • JRun.exe uses 100% of CPU

    Someone at - it guidance on this issue.

    Win NT2003 server using Apache + mysql DB CF8 Standard
    JRun.exe has recently started using 100% of time CPU under the supervision of taskmgr

    We thought it was related to the use of client variables and fill out the register, but having this application off and cleaned the registry from 500 MB to 18 MB! (also tried to use DB to store)

    Have searched google - many examples of question in older versions of CF, but this issue is specifically with MX8

    It is possible that some runaway process / application is causing the problem, but find it proves elusive, is it possible to get more information about coldfusion as what he does?

    Coldfsion restart service solves the problem for about 2 hours, and then it happens again.

    OK, the problem is resolved. For anyone who is interested. We have looked at Apache access.log and noticed a LARGE number of PROPFIND requests this narrowing it seems to open a word document in our CF application and then closing it caused a loop to implement.
    Essentially, the closure of the doc he tried to open the index.cfm which redirected to home.cfm and returned to index.cfm somehow

    Change apache configured to use home.cfm instead of index.cfm fixed the problem.
