High utilization of the processor in the system of the NT kernel.

It happens especially when a kind audio this is, for example. YouTube, teamspeak, WMP etc. Started happening last week, had no problem before. Could be a sound driver, but I can't really put my finger on the exact offender.

I played around with xperf, but can't really move with this anymore. Any ideas?
When I open the regular use of the processor, I get this. These fields are 9 all the way to line 39000

Resolved by reinstalling and uninstalling SoundTap recorder without having to reboot the PC, then cleaning the registry of all that was left after uninstalling.

The program is not completely compatible with WinVista and replaces the audio driver with his own. This causes high CPU usage when it comes to audio.
So, anyone with Windows Vista, do NOT use this software. It will be you live above.

  • Leaks memory satellite L655 - 14 d, high utilization of the processor after Win 10 updated

    Hello world

    recently, I updated my Toshiba L655 - 14 d running on win7 Home premium 64-bit to win 10.

    After that update system is memory leaks, high utilization of the processor and get stuck every 5 to 10 seconds, is a rhythmic problem happens while Starter upward.

    If music is played nothing breaks and distortion, while using word or another office associated SW it became marked delay in the characters that appear on the screen, using the internet or live streaming is also not smooth.

    Any suggestions to solve these problems?

    It is advisable to change the RAM and upgrade to the new HARD drive (current RAM is 3GB 1066 MHz and is disc HARD 500 GB, ATI Radeon graphics card), if the change has advised if I want on the RAM even or I can go for a more of the same for the HARD drive also.

    Thanks in advance.

    You may need to check if the problem could be related to some drivers installed (maybe GPU driver would need an update) or 3rd party software.
    Background running processes in the context of the system could block the CPU, and this could slow down the performance of the system...
    So a quick glance in the task manager can be useful.

    Of course, upgrade of RAM can be useful too... If you run Win 64 bit system, upgrade of RAM is recommended.
    The 32-bit OS can handle only 3.2 GB RAM... so in this case the RAM upgrade would be useless.

    With regard to upgrading the HARD drive:
    The SATA controller is able to manage any size of HARD drive, but to be honest, this will not increase the performance of the laptop... But change from HDD to SSD drive would increase the performance of the system... so I recommend you replace the HARD drive with SSD drive.

  • high utilization of the processor in standby mode / x 230

    Hi all

    I have an i5 x 230, win8 installed pro on an ssd crucial msata m4, 16 GB of ram. Recently, I noticed a sharp decline in the life of the battery. I believe that this is due to the high utilization of the processor when idle, I see it in the Manager of tasks and shows the process system hovering over 30% cpu usage. It goes down when I restart, but just on the rise after some time, perhaps on his return from his sleep.

    Does anyone have any idea on this? I tried to get a little knowledge base, but nothing came.

    While we are aware of the problem, there is little we can do about it.  The modern realities of security of the web browsers have made sandbox, a necessity.

    There is a good explanation of what is happening here: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html

    Long story short, every video packet must be transmitted from the browser to a medium integrity process broker, then the integrity process low drive flash for rendering.  If an attacker is able to hijack the thread of Flash Player, the process is low integrity, which prevents the attacker to do a lot with it.  While it is not an absolute guarantee (nothing security is), it raises the bar significantly for the attackers.

    The downside is that all this additional message passing consumes cycles CPU, especially if you are trying to fill a buffer of exceptional size as soon as possible.  There's not a lot of opportunity to optimize this.

    If you're fine with the risk, you can manually disable ProtectedMode on your machine.  If you deal only with trusted sites, and you do not have anything critical with the machine (work, banking, etc.), then it is probably not a huge deal.

    Finally, ProtectedMode is like a vaccine - it's one thing to immunity.  If the majority of people run it, exploits targeting machines without that it does not conform and probably not merit to be pursued when you look at the effort involved in the development of a feat of end-to-end.  If a large number of people turn it off, it becomes economically attractive for builders of networks of zombie computers, and you will have problems if you do not use.

    To disable the Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:

    32-bit Windows: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash

    64-bit Windows: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash

    ProtectedMode=0 
    

    If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one to any text editor standard (p. ex. Notepad)

    Depending on your operating system, you must first save the mms.cfg file in a directory writable (for example, your document or desktop folder), and then copy the file into the folder using Windows Explorer.

    To re - enable Protected Mode, simply delete the line in the mms.cfg file.

  • MacBook Pro random high utilization of the processor (iCoreService/DCAManager using + 400% CPU?)

    Hello

    I'm running an Early 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with a 2.2 GHZ Quad Core i7 processor 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and 16 GB of RAM Crucial. I noticed for about a month, I'm going to do a simple task or two on my Mac, then all of a sudden I noticed spikes CPU temporary, 90 + degrees C and the kick of fans trying to cool high speed. Well, I don't know why this is happening when I do nothing to justify a high utilization of the processor. I'm used to the CPU running hot when I do something intensive graphic as running Autodesk Inventor CAD software, run a machine virtual or even watch a 1080 p @ 60 fps video on youtube (it is the lowest resolution that requires the Mac switch to the dedicated AMD Radeon 6750 M GPU that usually eventually warm it quickly) , but this use high random that happens when I have Mail open in the background, and one tab open with a 720 p @ 30 fps video Youtube open (or even less). I took a few screenshots of the activity Manager indicating the best processes and Intel Power Gadget indicating the temperature of the CPU:

    Does anyone know what are iCoreService and/or DCAManager and why they use so much of my CPU when this happens? And someone has encountered this weird behavior before? Thanks in advance!

    The most likely cause is an applicztion you have running that is corrupt and forcing them to use the CPU too. Were you able to kill the process in activity monitor? If you have not yet tried to do, so I'll try that first. I would also try to quit all open applications.

    If you start the computer in Safe Mode , you can test if the problem is still there. If it isn't, usually means something that is managed by you start-up or an application that you use may be the cause.

  • In obtaining Windows XP SP3 notice of high utilization of the processor, but do not know the cause

    Hi SandieLaster,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. When the high CPU usage occurs?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • High utilization of the processor and Windows without end research update

    I worked with computers for my whole life.  I'm 7 courses away from completing my bachelor's degree in ITM to include coming soon obtaining of Certifications.  This problem, on one of the computers in my own office, cause me endless frustrations as well as the fact that me, unable to find and implement a solution helps me feel completely incompetent.  Me reaching out to everyone here is a terrible blow for I feel on my own knowledge base because it seems as if the fix can be easy, and I feel as if I am missing something obvious.  That being said here is the issue I am running in:

    On my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit, I have no intention of upgrading for various reasons, I notice that my CPU usage and the physical memory usage vary from 60% to almost 100% when I run no applications, which is a more recent symptom and severely hampers my system.  After having reduced the problem of the use to only one of the "svchost.exe" process and the "wuauserv" Service within this process labeled as Windows Update, I confirmed that it was this Service initially at least the question of the use of the CPU by arresting him, I went ahead and ran a manual update of Windows only to find out he's looking for new updates constantly.  The ever green status bar stops moving, or it never gets past that point.  First of all, I advanced and erased the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, after you stop the Services, than to have the same problem.  I have never received any type of error on the part of Windows Update code he has yet to reach a point of not not looking for updates.  I also have the chance to try to remove some updates recently installed in an effort to clear all possible corrupt files so that they can be reinstalled to no effect.  The same problem persists.  I am confident, it is a problem of Windows Update and also confident, it's a registry problem, but I struggle to trust one of the edition of solutions that I met in my quest for answers to the registry.  Also, I noticed that after having messed around with patches previously indicated, that my Documents Word from Microsoft do not open when I double-click on it, however, I am still able to open Word and open an existing document to the program itself.  This is a very new symptom, and I'm not sure if it's related.  It is my hope that a new installation of Windows won't be necessary.

    Please let me know diagnostic programs I might need to run to narrow down the issue.  Thanks in advance for all the help I can get on this.

    Hi Llysanth:

    If your initial "check for updates..." Windows Update crashes during long periods without raising an error, this is a widespread problem currently affecting many SP2 of Vista and Win 7 SP1 users.  On my Vista 32 bit system, I see a constant consumption of ~ 50% of my CPU by Windows Update (wuauserv) service which runs under the svchost.exe process (i.e., the saturation full of one of my two hearts) during thecheck for updates...'and Sysinternals Process Explorer shows that the Windows Update Agent (c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll) consumes all CPU - to see my images in Kayla77 thread processes in the Manager during updates tasks to day in the VistaForums.

    Some users find 'verification of the updates... ' will be held eventually in the end if you let it run for several hours, but there is also a workaround solution posted on the page Web of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/ that accelerates the Windows Update for the affected users. Of workaround requires users to install the updated Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) listed on this webpage so one is missing from your system before running Windows Update.  I used Dalai for the latest Patch workaround three Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) and has reduced my search for 'check for updates...' updates available for 6 or 7 hours up to approx. 25 min.

    The step by step instructions Posted June 16, 2016 wire m #l's updates works do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours are based on workaround of Dalai and will guide you through the installation process of packages update stand-alone (.msu files) for your updates Win32K.sys missing.

    As of today page is Web (August 31, 2016) the current list of updates Win32K.sys on Dalai: KB3078601 (rel. 18 August 2015); KB3109094 (rel. 7 December 2015); KB3145739 (rel. 12 April 2016); KB3164033 (rel. June 14, 2016); KB3168965 (rel. July 12, 2016); KB3177725 (rel. 9 August 2016). Just install updates are missing from your system, so if you have been fully patched at the end of July 2016 you need to manually install the latest KB3177725 (MS16-098: a security update for the Windows Kernel-Mode drivers: 9 August 2016) before you run Windows Update to install your remaining August 2016 Patch Tuesday updates.

    Dalai has posted General information that explains why the Windows Update Agent is currently suspended during the "checking for updates..." Windows Update.

  • Re: Satellite Pro M70 - high utilization of the processor - low Performance

    I sincerely hope that someone can help you. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I really value any assistance.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 for 2 years and I'm a final Defender to Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day use with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a laborious process that takes too much time. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, that works perfectly.

    But turn on the computer takes forever. The CPU usage is generally high and System Idle process as well. I reinstalled Windows XP from the Boot Toshiba DVD already 4 times to nine and install everything over and over again. Each time after all to speed once again, performance is disappointing.

    I expanded RAM to 1.49 GB that makes little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but it is not visible in the process; but a certain process of svhost.exe who have the ability to handle little or the CPU usage.

    I've used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a little, but after a few days, it seems only make it worse. I have a processor Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz. search online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is pretty good and demanding little capacity compared to the competing security packages.

    Is this system/software related or it could be a hardware problem?

    Thanks in advance to all!

    Hello

    I doubt that it could be a hardware problem, I mean a CPU usage can get if a certain service or applications would be run in the background of the OS.

    Generally, Antivirus applications are a kind of software that could cause this problem I had a Norton System works installed on my laptop and this software needs a lot of resources that slowed down the laptop
    In addition, some applications of Toshiba which are installed and running in the background may affect performance. But these applications are required to be able to use all the features of the laptop

    However, in msconfig you could disable.
    Launch msconfig-> Startup tab and disable some processes that are not necessary for you.

    In addition, you can use the CCleaner to clean the registry and operating system

    Hi Vishal, zig - zag is right with the WPT toolkit, however if you are not experienced with the resolution of the problems, you might want to first try a few simple tools:

    1. use the built in Windows tool "Resource monitor" to check the process/applications that use resources on your system - it shows more detail than the single task manager.

    2. Sysinternals provides a powerful set of tools, the first to try is "Process Explorer": https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653
