High disk usage. What is c?

I get a text box in the lower RIGHT of my computer screen saying: "high disk usage: host process for windows services.  The computer is slow too, but I don't know what that means. Can someone tell me please?

Hello elwindouglas,

If you start your computer in Mode safe, can you reproduce this problem?  What version of Windows you are currently using and you have made any changes to your computer before this problem?  This message appears no matter what applications you are running?

Below, I've added a few links that I hope will be able to help get the resolution.

  • problem with high CPU usage audiodg.exe

    While playing the game, I get a message saying that I raised the CPU usage 99% of the base. This is caused by "audiodg.exe. I tried a few bugs that I found online. I was told that they would not work with my computer. I have a Dell XPS15 second-generation i5. Has anyone experience this problem?

    Hello

    1. what you did to solve the problem?

    audiodg.exe [Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation] file hosts the audio engine for Vista and Window s 7.

    All DSP [Digital Signal Processing] and audio processing is done within this file. Suppliers are able to install their own audio effects and DSP in the audio pipeline, which is then processed by audiodg.exe

    In order to correct the high CPU usage, disable audio enhancements addressed by the file audiodg.exe. To disable the audio improvements, follow these steps:
    a. right click on the speaker in the lower corner icon right.

    b. Select the playback device from the menu. A list of devices should appear on the screen.

    c. double-click the device that has a green check mark. The properties for the device windows should open.

    d. click the improvements at the top.

    e. in the list of improvements, uncheck all the, or check Disable all improvements.

    f. click on the OK button to save your changes and close the window.

    g. click OK to close the devices window of reading.

    I would also say that you use resource monitor to monitor the CPU usage.

    Resource monitor is a tool that allows you to analyze the use of the CPU, disk, network, and memory in real time.

    You can use the performance tab in the Manager of tasks to see how the CPU of your computer is used by Windows and other programs running on your computer.

  • Qosmio F60 - alert constantly high CPU usage

    Hello

    About 12 months ago, I bought a Toshiba Qosmio F60 computer laptop 6 GB.

    When exploring using games, facebook etc, I am constantly alert of my Norton informing that there is high CPU usage.

    I have asked around locally and advised to delete Norton because this may be the problem. I'm not eager to do what my subscription is still valid.

    I also learned the other day that this is a common problem with laptops Toshiba using 'Explorer' and that I should use "Mozilla Firefox" instead which would correct the problem.

    I am trying to arrange this.

    Can you please indicate if it is a regular problem with Toshiba laptops and reviewing the options above to try to address this problem.

    It doesn't really seem to my computer, it goes more slowly and when in the Manager tasks, it is constantly fluctuating between 5 and 35%

    I look forward for your reply.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This isn't a problem laptop buddy
    Norton AntiVirus is a good antivirus program, but it uses a lot of resources and my experience locks the CPU.

    I removed this antivirus software and now I m using the avast and Avira Antivir free Antivirus software. Both are freeware software.

    But I still use Internet Explorer. Of course, I also installed the firefox and chrome. All these three browsers are great.

  • DAQmx read results 2 ms/s in high CPU usage

    I have an application that reads the 32 channels of 2 ms/s analog input signals, at the same time. The actual hardware will be: SMU-8135 Win7, chassis SMU-1071, 2 x SMU-6368 (16 channels). The SMU-two 6368 will provide 32 channels data acquisition.

    I don't have the material at the moment, but I've been estimate the processor on the alternative configurations needs, because I have concerns about the use of the CPU to data acquisition high speed. Two alternative configurations are:

    (1) SMU-8133 (quad core) WinXP, SMU-1062 q, PXI-6133.

    (2) PXI-8106 (dual-core) WinXP, PXI-6133, PXI-1042.

    Note: PXI-6133 supports high speed HAVE 2 ms/s, at the same time.

    I wrote a simple continuous data acquisition software to allow me to compare the CPU usage. The sample rate and the number of channels are configurable. What I found is:

    (1) at low sampling frequency, for example 100 kech. / s, the CPU usage is minimal on both configurations (bicoeur or image), regardless of the number of channels is 1 or 8. The reading of the CPU was about 1-4%

    (2) at high sampling frequency, for example 2 ms/s, what is the number of channels used, either 1 or 8, the CPU utilization was 50% for dual core and 25% for the quad core, IE. a full core has been fully utilized.

    (3) the passage of the low use of the processor (<5%) to="" high="" cpu="" usage="" (="">45%) increases when the sampling rate is rather steep and shows interesting channel-dependence (note the following has been achieved with a PXI-8106 controller, dual-core).

    • @1 channel, it happened between 950 to 970 k
    • @2 channels, it happened between 470 to 480 k
    • @4 channels, it happened between 230 to 240 k,.
    • @8 channels, it happened between 120 to 130 k.

    This model reminds me of buffer length related question but I double checked a sufficient length of the buffer was used. He suggested also, surprising a few traffic jams occurred when the amount of data increases up to certain level.

    My question is, is this a problem with this particular card (PXI-6133) or driver DAQmx (9.5.5f4). How the problem is when I'm doing an acquisition of 32 channels?

    For your information, I have attached the benchmarking software.

    Thank you!

    Donghui Yin

    I followed this example code (see link below) and used based on events DAQmx, now the excessive CPU utilization problem has been resolved. Playback from the CPU is now less than 10 percent, while it could be 50% (in the case of dual-core) or 25% (case of hearts) at the same sample rate and number of channels.

  • Svchost.exe several process taking high CPU usage

    * Original title: svchost.exe bleeding memory of multiple processes

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1 on decent office equipment.  Intel i7 - 2600 k, 16 GB of memory Corsair, 2 TB HD.  Recently, I noticed that sometimes the Web pages would much to slow while my 5.0 GHz network turned to 15.0 Mbs.  Also online MechWarrior gave me games much more than before lag to the point where I wouldn't be able to play.  This began about five to seven days from 29/09/14 and was regularly do worse.

    So I took a look at my resource monitor and the Task Manager and discovered fifteen process svchost.exe running and a svchost.exe * 32 running.  They were dispersed users (System, Local Service, Network Service), and we were shooting at 150 000 + K.  Sometimes there would be two consuming the same amount of memory, but I have yet to see more on the list do so.

    I'm certainly not an expert, but I take care of my computer.  My network is password protected, I ran a complete virus scan of the system that was detected (and if it is dangerous, I'm not at all more risky than Facebook sites on my PC.  I am saying that it is highly unlikely that I have no virus.)  I also checked the forums for others who have had the same problem and there were few.

    The only change I made is my network hardware, upgrade my modem and router/switch.  My router is a dual band and my computer is the only one on the frequency 5.0 but check on my computers to families that run on the 2.4, they have what seems like unusually high memory usage svchost.exe as well.  I went back two restore points, but that made no difference.

    Syschk control function run as administrator has not resolved the issue as well.  So what else am I missing?

    Hello Salman,

    If DHCP requests are taken over by clients, you will probably want to focus on the limiting of requests DHCP using DHCP snooping.

  • searchindexer.exe extermemly high CPU usage - days

    Not sure that to do, I rebuilt the index, manually deleted the record of data to index, completely removed, rebooted, and then reinstalled Windows Search from the Add/Remove Windows features, I also chkdsk/f had my records.

    When the Searchindexer.exe uses as much CPU as she can I checked with resource monitor and it is not read to leave or by writing to all files, just chip away cycles CPU.

    Hi entire,

    disable the service in the Services, restart the computer and then re-enable the service.

    I tried, I completely uninstalled from Windows Add/Remove Features service, rebooted the PC and re - he added, and same deal.

    Anyway I found is what the problem is, it's the korwbrkr.dll, it seems to be related to a Korean dictionary, as if the indexer is you are trying to index something with characters Koreans inside (not aware that I have something like that), and he throws a loop for I renamed the korwbrkr.dll to korwbrkr.bak and it has linked the dictionary file and removed from the search index and I allow the indexer to run all night and it shows that indexing is complete, and I have no more high CPU usage.

    I was dealing with high utilization of the processor of the indexer for weeks, now my system is at peace.

  • RdrCEF high CPU usage

    Hello.
    First of all, sorry for my weak English level.

    A few days ago, I installed Adobe Reader DC on all servers of my Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 farm. All started well, but now I have problems with high CPU usage. I have seen that for each user using reader DC open between 1 and 3 processes with the same name, RdrCEF.exe. This process consumes a lot of memory and sometimes, according to the PDF file, use a large part of the performance issues causing CPU in other sessions on the server user.

    What is the process of RdrCEF? Phy it's open several times by user ? And above all, how can I prevent the use of this process as much CPU?

    I hope someone can help me.
    Thank you.

  • Periods of high disk latency

    Hello - I just moved to a new company and I am working on virtualization of most of the servers here. It's a small IT shop with 20-30 servers. I bought 3 new HP DL380 G7 servers and I have about half of the 20 converted physical servers. I noticed a problem that appears and it seems random times.

    There are 2 tables (13 6 disks raid, raid 5 disks 5) 2 luns, a VMFS shared LUN between the 3 servers. This is on a HP P2000 G3 FC SAN (already in place before). Every once and a while I notice latency of very high disk it seems that only on the LUNS on the Raid 5 array.

    I've attached a screenshot of ESXTOP running on all servers ESX 3 showing the high latency. I can understand if there was a very high use but is not really yet everything going on at this time, as you can see on the screenshots. The tweak only I made so far is to increase the depth of queue to 64.

    Brocade 8 GB HBA using hanging on the HP (Brocade) switches. Everything works to 8 GB and all readers of the San are 6 GB SAS.

    I'm new on this and HP options without, came from one world IBM DS4xxx, so I do not know that how still to watch the performance on the SAN itself, the web interface does not have all followed what-so-ever.

    Any help is appreciated-

    Thank you

    Well, I agree that it was a question of ownerhip lun.

    The extent of maxing controllers, theres more to the issue than just flow.  Its actually very common on these lowend tables except if you make something trivial like a streaming the CPU controller will not be able to do in the face of a workload of IOPS / s high (or even moderate).  This isn't the bandwidth, it is the CPU on the controller.  His community does even more than you might expect on the bays of large companies (HDS USP, EMC Symm, etc.).

  • High CPU usage after upgrading to ESX 4 Update 1

    I just upgraded 2 hosts (IBM HS21 blades) 4 ESX to ESX 4 Update 1, and now I experience high CPU usage.  Before use on each host would turn around 10%, but now after the upgrade, it's about 80 percent on each and now all the virtual machines are running very slow as a result.

    The only change that has been done is that I demoted local readers of hard drives of 500 GB SAS drives to 7 200 RPM 73 GB SAS drives mirrored, 10 000 rpm mirrored and performed a clean installation of ESX 4U1 on each host.  As the VMs 14 are located on a SAN disk array I thought only, it would improve the performance of the hosts.

    Has anyone else had a similar problem or a potential solution?

    See you soon,.

    Josh.

    Seems very strange.

    You have the same number of VM? You have to upgrade the VMware tools?

    There are other changes?

    Local disk is not so important to the overall performance.

  • The photos in photo looks blurry, with large pixels. Recorded images were of high resolution, why what is happening?

    I used the migration assistant to transfer all the data from my old macbook pro to my new iMac, now the images in the Photos seem to be blurred, with large pixels. Recorded images were of high resolution, why what is happening? Is it possible to fix it. In the old macbook pro, the image looks ok.

    Migration assistant has a really bad experience with iPhoto and Photos

    If you still your old MB of available space, connect it to your new Mac (network, mode target firewire or use an external to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format hard drive and drag the iPhoto library folder images on the new Mac and heck the iPhoto library to icon in the Dock to migrate Photos)
