PC performance. SVCHost.exe

My PC, XP W v5.1, SVCHost.exe is running at around 50% CPU and seems to be the cause of my PC to run very slowly... I was informed that theis program starts the dll, and that one or more of them are probably the origin of the problem. If anyone knows how I could identify running DLL etc. ? Please, I beg you.

    After the latest version of windows update 29 June downloaded the file SVCHOST. EXE is using memory and excessive hard drive. I have 6 GB of memory and an Intel! 3 processor.

  • Why my svchost.exe process constantly runs at 100% CPU usage?

    Recently, my computer was extremely slow.  I thought that was the cause of a worm or virus but after I used Norton to take care of that my system is still slow right too. When I checked my system process, its display svchost.exe using a massive amount of memory. Therefore, my CPU usage is constantly at 100%.  Is it still the result of a bug? Or do I have to look elsewhere as the source of the problem? Thank you

    It is possible that a recent update of Norton was faulty or caused one conflict with another program on the PC.

    Activity excessive svchost.exe is often linked to one of the following:

    1 resource hog like Norton or McAfee (sad but true)

    2 be linked in Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update

    3. after having been updated for Windows Search 4.0 and its endless reindexing

    4. the presence of malware

    Unless you have uninstalled Norton AND used their removal tool, I doubt you really deleted ALL occurrences of Norton!

    FWIW, I helped a neighbor recently with his performance problem. The culprit in his case was Windws Search 4.0. And since there is no entry in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs to KB940157, I needed to follow the instructions offered by Nepatsfan here:

    Hello

    Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

    There may be multiple instances of svchost.exe running on your computer, each instance containing different services. One instance of svchost.exe can host a single service for a program, and another instance can host several services related to Windows. You can use Manager tasks to display services running under each instance of svchost.exe.

    To view the services that are running under svchost.exe:

    (a) open the Manager the tasks by right-clicking on the taskbar and then click Task Manager.
    (b) click on process tab.
    (c) If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    (d) Hovering mouse on one of the processes will show you a list of all the services.

  • Svchost.exe causing 100% cpu usage during the update of windows, even when disconnected.

    I recently had to re - install windows xp on a new hard drive for replacement. My version of xp home edition, SP2 OEM installation disc. (This is ith group included IE6)

    Once installed and running, could access windows update.

    Read all the threads associated etc. and installed SP3, disc after downloading microsoft on another pc. Installed after three trys, first two caused various mistakes, but third attempt seems OK!

    I've also updated the IE6 to IE8, as some sites obviously did not work properly with the older browser.

    Now go do the automatic updates, or log for manual updates... BUT!

    During the process, my cpu fan comes on fast and permanently! The CPU usage is showing that 100%, pc slows to crawl, the mouse becomes slow etc.

    This has never happened before on this machine before you reinstall clean, he had already automatically updated to SP3 and went very well, it was some time ago, before the failure of hard drive, and it has never had this problem!

    Only since having to do a cleaning manual update and re - install.

    The culprit seems to be svchost.exe, once it is used by the update, running the cpu at 100% and continues to do so EVEN after stopping the service, until I manually stop with the Task Manager!

    The svchost.exe instance showing a high is use: SYSTEM.

    According to the files of help here, it is a known issue and a fix KB927891 was issued for SP2, but this should NOT be necessary for SP3, and in fact difficulty used to perform anyway under SP3!

    Ideas for a guy to fix?

    I appreciate the support for XP runs out quickly, and after this update of windows will be redundant, but in the meantime it is always useful!

    Also if I turn off the automatic updates, how can I stop this annoying popup warning bubble?... I can't live without updating, but this bubble nag drives you nuts! :)

    OK just a update, now running cool and 100% auto update and manual update... How? I hear you ask...

    Well I had a beer and a reflection and came to the conclusion, it must be 'order' in which I updated the clean installation of XP.

    Origin, I loaded the old OEM disc new hard disk, loaded the drivers etc, then stop at windows update for updated files.

    Who told me my old incompatible browser and suggested an upgrade.

    I downloaded and installed IE8... still no joy, reading the forums comments I downloaded and installed SP3... which SEEMED to work, BUT then all the hassle of cpu to 100% with the automatic update and updated manual on the windows don't update site!

    So I just gritted my teeth, formatted the drive, another OEM of XP Home Edition SP2 installation loaded the drivers, installed a copy saved to SP3 and after restarting, THEN installed a saved copy of IE8 and THEN trotted off the coast to the windows update site... low and behold, it the connection without problem, did a search, and required updates appeared on the screen without delay all 123 of them...! :)

    Did the updates, restarted and everything was fine, updates automatic in market and left the machine, after about 30 minutes appears the yellow shield, and it downloads a couple more update files without problem.

    All this time I followed the via the Task Manager CPU usage and the strange spike waited 100% apartment, it was on average from 5 to 20%!...so a great improvement has this effect, by simply changing the order of the updates installed from the original! SP3 IE before IE8.

    May not work for all have to do a clean install because of the HD failed, but its worked for me, and I am once more a "happy bunny!

    Dave was soon.

  • LOCAL SERVICE, SYSTEM and NETWORK of svchost.exe svchost.exe Svchost.exe. SERVICE

    I have these processes running several times, is this normal

    Generally, Yes, if you are looking in the Task Manager, it is normal to see many/many svchost processes running.  You may see 5-10 svchost process running in the Task Manager, maybe less or maybe more.  But what you don't see with the Manager tasks, is running behind them.

    If your system is not afflicted with malicious software, XP important Services running behind svchost - Service processes sometimes alone, sometimes several.

    The username that see you for the svchost process could perhaps LOCAL SERVICE or NETWORK SERVICE and that's how the Services XP to fix themselves to connect to your system using these special accounts, for example:

    LOCAL SERVICE would be local Services - things like the Webclient or the Application Layer Gateway Services.

    NETWORK SERVICE would be Network Services - things like the DNS Client or remote procedure call (RPC) Services.

    These Services of XP run behind/under the svchost process using these special account names.

    Some malware knows that using the Task Manager, you can not see what works behind the svchost process so that the malware is running under one of them hiding so that you can't see.  Apparently, some malware can dress up like a svchost process for still more you cheating.

    When things like that happen, you'll usually see a svchost process that executed the amok much consuming CPU or memory when they normally does, so if you see, you need to run some malware scanners known first, for example:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time):

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    You can see what works behind your svchost process if you use Process Explorer.  PE can be a little intimidating at first because it displays a lot of information, but once you get the hang of it, you start it if you want to solve performance problems.  PE does not settle anything and going just on demand, so it won't bog down your system.

    Important XP Services running "behind" these entries of svchost.exe.  Some svchost.exe process may have just XP Service running behind her, an another svchost.exe process can have several XP Services running behind it.

    In addition, malicious software has been know to dress up like a svchost.exe process to deceive you or sometimes the malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process, because he knows that you won't be able to see it in the Task Manager.

    I don't know what YahooWidgets and do not want to install any YahooWidgets to find out how it works, or if this is normal.

    Thanks to the bad implementation of the MS Answers forums, we know absolutely nothing about your system is always a good idea before troubleshooting to run some respectable scans for malware, then I'll give you some instructions, if you're curious to see what happens behind these multiple svchost.exe process see you in Manager tasks.

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update, and make at least an analysis full (not at the same time) with these free malware detection programs:
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
