Igfxupdate.exe forces the cpu to load 100%

Recently, my cpu load @ full, when open the Task Manager it remains cool. I couldn't find IGFXupdate.exe job manager. When deleting the file in the windows folder, it activates by itself once the Task Manager is closed. Please someone find a solution to my problem... Even google is looking for the answer...

Thank you

Hi, after several hours of attempts, I think I finally found the culprit:
most likely a Trojan Generic 792778 of KDV, it claims to be the windows service "Search Indexer" and it creates the executable file false: 'igfxupdate.exe' who tries to connect to the internet and increases cpu load all the time until you open the Task Manager to hide...
So I solved the problem like this:
in the windows services management console, I disabled the above fake windows service (he was in automatic start mode) and after I deleted the igfxupdate.exe file in the windows system32 folder...
I restarted the pc and I deleted the same service with the command: "sc delete SearchIndexer '...
problem solved! CPU back to the normal level, no more connections and no more files igfxupdate autour...
in any case, for more security, it is best to also do a full scan with a good antivirus/malware software

  • Portege will extinguish after iTunesphotoprocessor.exe gets the CPU to 100% usage

    Hi all

    I am having a problem with my Toshiba Portege and sync with my iPad2.

    I'm syncing large amount of photos to my iPad, when synchronization progess is at the stage of optimization photos iTunes runs two processes iTunesphotoprocessor.exe and the CPU usage is 100%.

    The Toshiba fan then runs at full speed until the immedialtey of the computer turns off.
    It is not a normal shutdown of Windows 7 64-bit. It's an energetic power loss, while the Toshiba is on a/c.

    I can reproduce the same with my iPhone 4.

    I thought I should use a USB hub with an adapter separated instead, unfortunately, there is no difference.

    It is not only synchronize photos that it occurs also when I sync movies and only iTunes.exe running at 100% CPU usage.
    Which brings me to the conclusion that the iPad draws a lot of power of the Toshiba until the laptop is on its knees.

    I use external drives (not USB powered) and can copy a lot of data without any problem.

    Perhaps worth mentioning that I have improved the Toshiba two months ago for Windows 7 64 bit and installed all the 64-bit drivers found here on the forum with the upgrade of the BIOS.

    Any hint is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion this has nothing to do with the power supply or the power adapter plugged.
    The iTunesphotoprocessor.exe belongs to the iTunes software and in my opinion this software highlights the laptop CPU s that cause automatic shutdown!

    This means that it is not a problem of laptop but the Apple software.
    I m not sure if it s a compatibility issue with 64-bit Windows system, but he s certainly an iTunes problem

    So, in my opinion, you need to reinstall this software to see if that would help
    You can uninstall this software from the system and could clean the registry with CCleaner, it helps to clean the registry
    After that and after new restarts, you can try to install a version compatible 64-bit iTunes maybe it helps

  • Windows XP I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes.

    Running Windows XP, I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes... this process can be completed or ignored?

    "Setup.exe" is a generic term used by many applications.  The short answer is 'yes', it's OK to complete the process, but you really need to know what it is and why it continues to run.

    You probably need to download, install, update and run these free malware scanner (not at the same time):
    MalwareBytes AntiMalware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If that is not fix things, and assuming that this process begins when you start the computer, download, install, and run Autoruns.  When Autoruns has finished scanning, click the 'Connection' tab and look for the line that contains "setup.exe".  You can just uncheck the box on the left, or remove the item, which will prevent the routine of starting when Windows starts.

    Preferably, however, you should look at the path containing setup.exe where you should be able to deduce what application is trying to set itself up.  You can then take the appropriate measures, which may be simply delete the folder that contains the file.  Note that if you delete the file, you must ALSO remove the line in Autoruns, otherwise you will get a "file not found" error every time Windows starts.

  • After awhile java.exe is the CPU at 100%

    Hello!

    I have a problem with the java.exe in the environment in which I work. In the environment, I have a physical server: Sun Fire X 4100 Server with 2 processors and 16 GB of RAM for control of virtualization. On the system, this is the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter and vCenter 5.5.

    For the most part, we are 5 guys in the team who use the vSphere Web GUI. We are connecting to the server using RDP and after some time, we can not connect because the CPU is at 100%. It takes 20-30 minutes to be able to connect. And then 5-10 minutes to be able to click on something. For example, to kill the java.exe file keeps the CPU at 100%. This isn't a good idea because afterwords the Web GUI does not work so we need to restart the server.

    Anyone of you have any idea why this is happening?

    Bogdan

    Sorry! I can't see the part about it being the physical server... which version of VC is this?

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Boot minimum vs Mode to set the CPU to 80-100% safe

    Hello

    I have a really strange question with Win7.

    Applications repeatedly work really slow. for example scrolling a web page just freezes for a few seconds. Typing emails or documents in the form of Word stops trolling what is typed. Start Windows and stop takes forever.

    Secondly when you open Windows Explorer and navigate the C: (for example) and then right click on C: to try to do a checkdisk or defrag, I get a message saying that the Explorer has stopped and that "Windows is trying to find a solution." I have never further with this operation!

    Sometimes, when stop Win7 I get a black screen momentarily to say a word about "trying to close the Explorer.

    What I tried: -.

    Safe mode... Win7 seems fine. Task Manager/performance moved to 0% after a few seconds of inactivity.

    Safe mode with network... Win7 looks very good.  Task Manager/performance moved to 0% after a few seconds of inactivity.

    Boot minimum incentive msconfig and Services, turn off everything except Microsoft essential services then starting and turning off everything that it too.

    Reboot and the problem persists.

    I ran Malwarebytes, Spybot S & D and CCleaner to remove all the garbage.

    So, it looks like something in my Win7 is broken, causing a problem with the Windows Explorer and gobble up time CPU.

    I do not have a Win7 CD because the machine was delivered with installed Win and the OEM does not exist today.

    The list file you most often is a process associated with Norton 360. However, malware is sometimes assumed the names of the legitimate files in order to deceive the end user. Norton is a Devourer of known system and as a result, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is a legitimate file in your case. However, I recommend you download, to update and scan with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, just to be sure. If the scans do not detect the file and the problem persists I would contact Norton or remove Norton making sure to use the tool to uninstall do.
