My CPU usage climbs to 100% & an application called iexplore.exe uses 99% of CPU time.

Original title: iexplore.exe

When I activate "Task Manager", my CPU usage climbs to 100% & an application called iexplore.exe uses 99% of CPU time. This slows down my computer. I can turn it off without causing other problems?

After restarting in safe mode and then restart in normal mode, all is back to normal. Thank you!

    My HP dv9000 is slow.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT INFO YOU NEED ME!  In the Task Manager, under the terms of 'process', it indicates that there are FOUR INSTANCES of internet explorer running, but I only have one window open (with a tab).  I hear my hard drive constantly running and it drives me crazy (and make me cry for my poor computer).  The 4 iexplore.exe (IE8) use respectively 110 000 - 82 300-78 000 - and 8000 K.  Is this normal?

    OT: svctimesag.

    Hi team,

    In one of our Production Server is a process called "svctimesag.exe" using high CPU. This problem has been detected the day before.

    For immediate solution, we killed the process, but it did not help, then you need to restart our server.

    In the past 24 hours this process has shoot to the top of the CPU twice and you need to restart the server with force.

    Also searched the Internet but found no information. The location of the file on the server is C:\Program Files (x86)\Products\svctimesag\svctimesag.exe

    We organize engine on the server management application. We also opened the case with them to know the process.

    If any user face any problem with that part of process please your valuable troubleshooting strike.

  • In "Services.exe" CPU usage increases to 100 percent XP.

    In "Services.exe" CPU usage increases to 100 percent XP. Attempt to disable Load System Services through the system without result Configuration utility, because cpu cannot handle this function before of 'Services' system of pigs. Is there a way to access msconfig. through BACK? Have tried all modes safe mode, same problem.

    I would exercise caution in handling things in the System Configuration utility.  If you disable the thing (s) evil, you could make your problem worse.

    I suggest provide you a little more information on your system, run some scans for malware, then fix what's left more that needs fixing.

    If you see services.exe equips in the Task Manager, suspect malware first, work to eliminate this possibility (with the scans below), then if you still have a problem, we can fix.

    It makes no sense to try to solve problems on a system that could have malicious software on it.

    You can also try to run system restore if you want, but I don't really know, it counts as 'fixing' of the problem.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    No matter what you use for malware protection, perform the following analyses for malware.
    then fix any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these malware free

  • Why my always 100% CPU usage and what is RegSvcs.exe uses 50% of it?

    Hi people,

    I think I need urgent help though.

    Recently, I thought I downloaded malware that is injected with the Trojan horse. And now, I believe that the Trojan horse lies in my computer. I did this because my CPU usage is always at 100% even when I just restarted my com. Initially, I found there was a program called dgen.exe running in my computer to a 60% of CPU usage. Never so, I remove the dgen.exe from my computer but I don't know if I remove it entirely. Now, I'll have another program called RegSvcs.exe in my computer operating at 50 percent CPU usage. I googled out and it says it may or may not be required by windows and it could be a trojan virus as well. That's why there at - it anyone who can enlighten me on this?

    I have to delete or to update or something?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards.

  • The CPU usage goes to 100% frequently for all the computers on the network.

    Hi, I'm an engineer, for the past two weeks, my users are complaining about slow and found the CPU usage goes to 100% frequently, as we have laptop Dell Latitude with i7, 4 GB memory, Win7 64 bit OS. but this problem is din't solve even after fresh OS installation.

    Check your remote destop setting. When something like that happens, its been my experience that someone or something keep 'rattling' computers trying to connect to them i.e. virus/trojan or something that someone installed which is now trying to hit everything on the network.

  • CPU at 100% use, services.exe using 50 to 70% +.

    I've upgraded from Vista to Win 7 on day of release and had no problems until recently. In recent days, my CPU usage will boost 100% at irregular intervals and stay there for a long period of time. When I check the Task Manager and view the processes from all users, services.exe is fluctuating, anywhere from the low 50 to 70% in low use. When the computer works normally, services.exe is close to the high single digit. I uninstalled and programs that I installed immediately before the occurrence of the problem (and it happens again as I type this) and I ran full virus/malware using Microsoft Security Essentials scans and the scanner online ESET. Both are some adware stuff and not withdrawn, but no virus or malware problems. This happened for several days and made my computer almost unusable, and I'm in a fix what to do or where to look next. I hate for resettlement because the original installation was so recent, if all the tips I can try to avoid again would be great. Thank you!

I don't know that I've screwed something to make it work on my computer in the first place. I don't have a clue as to why he went with the exception of dumb luck on my part.

  • Drive usage goes to 100% on Windows 8

    I have 64-bit Windows 8 Enterprise.

    Whenever I have install or uninstall a program disk usage goes to 100% and I can't do anything else, although it is at 100%

    Usually, it's Microsoft Windows Search Indexer or the Antimalware Service executable Microsoft are at the top of the list.

    It's very frustrating, because it lasts anywhere form two or three minutes at a maximum of 15 minutes and I can't do much at that time.  If I kill the Microsoft Windows Search indexing system goes back to be reactive.

    Can I do to solve this problem, except to exclude Program Files of the course of indexing?

    Thank you

  • Explorer.exe using 50% CPU

    My Vista has suddenly become almost unusable.  Task Manager shows explorer.exe uses 50% of the CPU.  I rebooted a couple of times.  If I use the Task Manager to kill him I can run programs using the application tab.  The computer works well without exploring. But then I don't have a task bar so I hope it's temporary.  I ran the windows malicioussoftwqare removeal tool - who found nothing.  The program is c:\windows\explorer.exe.

    Does anyone know the solution?

    Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

    You can use Process Explorer from Sysinternals to check the stack of the thread using the most CPU in the explorer.exe process, when you experience the behavior.  When Explorer uses the CPU as you have indicated, double-click the process in Process Explorer and go to the tab of the Threads.  Sort the list of threads by Cycles Delta (descending) and note the thread at the top. Double-click it and discovered its stack. Look for third-party modules (extensions of shell or modules, AV software, etc.) in the stack.  Disable (Autoruns or ShellExView, maybe) / uninstall these components, reboot and see if the behavior is affected.
