Hello Ian,

Have you tried the Task Manager to end? Right-click on the taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Locate the application and click on end task (at the bottom of the page). I wonder if it's a piece of malware running, or even a virus. If it will not be closed, or starts just backup again, consider using these scanners:

  • process of LSD causing 100% cpu and beachballing

    Hi guys,.

    I hope someone can help me with this.  My computer has recently started using 100% cpu on a process called "lsd".  It totally freezes my computer and I have to hard start it again by pressing the power button.  I can force him to do it is I select a video and then choose 'Open with' as it is pulling up the following windows, it will be beachball and go to 100% cpu due to this process.

  • Svchost.exe running 93-99% of my cpu

    I have a problem with the svchost. Whenever I have to connect to internet the svchost.exe always exhausted my CPU at 100% and causing slowness on my laptop.
    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you all for breakfast and information.

    Have tried all the methods above, but the problem remains.
    Sure some kind of virus, spyware, adware or Trojan programs can hide behind the svchost.exe process.

    In the end, have to re - format the hard drive and the problem resolved.

  • Satellite Pro T130 - 14L: 100% CPU use of acpi.sys after changing the HDD to SSD

    Hello

    because I changed my for one SSD HARD drive and reinstalled Windows 7 with 64 bit on this subject, my system works frequently in 100% CPU utilization caused by kernel module acpi.sys, I discovered with process Explorer and confirmed by recording an ETL file.

    This problem occurs once an hour on average, sometimes after 10 minutes of functioning of the system and sometimes after two hours, no matter which programs are running and whether or not I is actively using the computer. When I noticed a hanging and see this 100% cpu core in the process Explorer window are currently in use, I always need to save my work (which may take a few minutes) and restart the computer.

    I could live with that, but it's pretty nasty. My bios is up to date (version 2.70), as well as my other drivers (no error and no virus found). In other forums I've read, these problems could be avoided by changing the energy registers something Windows settings as never go to sleep of the SSD, but it works in my case as I disabled all energy saving options in Windows and I still have this problem.

    Is there maybe an update of the unofficial bios that could solve this problem?
    I read in another forum, that an unofficial bios update Dell fixed a similar problem on a Dell computer.

    Can someone help me solve this problem please?

    Details of process Explorer:
    The wire with TID 160 and the start address:

    ACPI. SYS + 0X1AF7C

    suddenly starts using 100% CPU and does not stop until you restart.
    Similar problem as in this forum for a Dell PC:
    https://social.technet.Microsoft.com...UM=w7itproperf

    Unlike the Dell problem, there is no appropriate-updated bios for me, could you help me if you could tell me how to stop the kernel module (if it starts hanging or even before). Then I could at least avoid frequent restarts.

  • Svchost.exe (netsvcs) 100% cpu - update of Windows *.256 cause - update forever checks as does Defender.

    Hi, I got 100% usage cpu choking my system Toshiba laptop L300 Vista 32-bit, cause - (netsvcs) svhost.exe in time real trouble was unknown and tried everything has failed. So I did a complete new installation and fully updated to SP2 then the next update and it required me to download the latest update to terminant.256. My system is now unusable with constantly check and update svchost.exe using 100% cpu. All is well until I start to WU and I restore prior to this Windows Update Agent... Also if I close just the update it is still short in the background using 100% cpu by svchost.exe (ntsvcs) until I have manually stop the service.

    I have:

    Disabled Windows Firewall and Avast antivirus.

    I tried all the things as well in safe mode.

    Installed costs.

    Followed the instructions found on the net

    In offline mode, downloaded and installed the latest update which is the same as that.

    Whenever I have restore before this update, it works very well. The download of the update even if I have restore and install only the off-line version, it cripples even with 100% cpu and without end of audit. He made also Defender without end of audit.

    How to fix something that is a solid wall. You cannot uninstall or go around it. If I restore before it, that's all I can ever be updated Vista.

    I admit, I'm going nuts with this thing. I can't be the only one, it is 100% Windows update agent question.

    They have started to issue updates, default update clients cannot manage. Under Vista, install all the missing updates listed in the table above to this page:

  • Svchost.exe to 47 to 52% of CPU usage! ;-(

    For some strange reason, I have svchost.exe running at 47 to 52% cpu usage.  It's 6 380 to 6 444 K memory with the standard description of host for Windows process in the Task Manager.  User name is NETWORK SERVICE.  The system idle process is a 36% with 57 to 67% CPU usage.

    ANY ideas what it is?  I thought maybe would it be re-indexing, but it went on-and-on-and-on... ;-(

    I use McAfee AV on my chip 64-bit Vista Ultimate OS and Intel (Dell Inspiron, 500 GB HD, 4 GB of RAM; LED display).  Hard disk no is used, is nearly 80%.

    Last scan was clearly for the AV scan

    TIA

    To check what service to use the CPU in a svchost with Process Explorer:

    • Click on "Show details for all processes" in the menu "file".
    • Make a right-click the svchost that you are interested in
    • Click 'properties '.
    • Click on the tab 'son '.

    Doing this causes some recent versions of Process Explorer crash on my Vista system but the 15.12 version published yesterday (January 12) seems to be OK.

    The phenomenon of high processor by Dnscache usage has been reported elsewhere, for example,

    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistanetworking/thread/d2a2ad2d-A406-410C-9B7A-e22104fd2e2e/

    A possible cause is a large number of entries in the hosts file. Some security software (anti-spyware/ad blocking) can use this method to block malicious Web sites. You can reset the hosts on its default file using this fix it.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034

    You can also try to flush the DNS cache:

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/74209-DNS-resolver-cache.html

    If it's not the hosts file, try to uninstall McAfee in the case which is in question.

    If you can't find what is the cause, running with disabled dnscache should not cause problems.

  • Safari more than consuming 100% CPU

    I am currently working with Safari 9.1.1 and whenever it is open it consumes 100% CPU and causes fans on my 13-inch MacBook Air to the race. For example, while describing the problem in Safari with only this tab open my CPU is 102.3% (33.2 MB memory). Besides the closure of the only open tab CPU usage remains high until I have completely quit the application. If I open the same page in another browser, the CPU of the other browser usage is much lower. Any ideas as to what is the cause and how it can be fixed will be very appreciated.

  • the process Svchost.exe to netsvcs uses a lot of memory (~ 600 MB) and 100% cpu

    I have windows xp edition sp3 family. I hit the power button to hibernate the pc but I think an automatice update was running.  Pc crashes when windows resumes after hibernation. I forced a re-boot, but now the svchost.exe to netsvcs process uses a lot of RAM and CPU. I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 1 GB of RAM. Svchost uses > 600 MB of memory and 100% of the CPU unless I have stop the DHCP service. When I stop DHCP the svchost stops using CPU and memory affected slowly decreases to about 150 MB and remains at this level. But without DHCP I do have access to the network.

    After installing SP3 recently I started having some weird problems, as I lost my printer and had to re - install the software. Also noticed that after re-booting and desktop appears completely empty, the screen turns white and the taskbar at the bottom will appear empty for about 30 seconds, then reappears. PC seems to be more slow tha before installing SP3.

    I've tried everything. Nothing stopped the svchost to chew all the memory, virtual memory and time processor. Had to re - install windows xp.

  • wifitask.exe causing 100% CPU use

    I use Windows 10 and realized that my computer is very slow. I tried to use flash for a meeting and it was so slow it wouldn't load. I checked Task Manager and noticed that my CPU is at 100% usage. I ended up most processes that were not required to run windows nothing helped, but when I closed wifitask.exe, the CPU would go from 30 to 80%. However, after a short time, wifitask.exe causes somehow himself to run and CPU usage was 100%. What exactly does wifitask.exe do? I can remove it or do I have to reinstall something? I also noticed that svchost.exe and lsass.exe use about 25% CPU each but what I've seen, that's normal? wifitask.exe shows that it only uses about 15%, but it's the only thing that removes the CPU usage when I finish it.

    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I have worked on this all night and to meet soon. Thanks in advance.

    Defender (MSE) is by far the cause.  It is using 45 + % CPU and is also the largest process of writing the disk.  Because it is part of the OS, you can not uninstall & re-install so your options are limited.  You can install an app different malware that automatically turn off MSE

    There is evidence (on earlier systems) that restricting directories Defender scans can reduce this effect, but I can't find any reference to win 10.
