plugplay service using all cpu

I recently hit a performance on my PC problem - looking at the Task Manager, I see that an instance of svchost.exe is gobbling up CPU.  I selected the process and found it in PlugPlay DCOMLaunch services. I found other similar problems on this forum, but no definitive answer to fix things when the service is listed as PlugPlay.

I guess it is something about service PlugPlay which causes the problem, but how can I solve this problem? I looked at the options for disabling a service, but he said that Plug-and-Play is essential & if I turn it off I get to system instability.
I am running Vista Home Premium with service pack 2.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hello Foxxwold,

Have you tried to boot the computer in a clean boot and duplicate this problem?  This question has recently started or has it always been a problem?  Any changes made to the computer, hardware or software?

  • WIN8 antimalware service use 100% cpu at idle

    When I do nothing on my Yoga then Antimalware Service is started and my Yoga is so hot and so loud with fans. Does anyone know how to disable this Antimalware Service can you? I know I can disable Windows Defender. But I want real-time scanning when I download something. I have just not what hdd scan when I'm idling. In Win7, you can disable analysis to idle and don't have real-time scanning. I Win8 this option is not available. Someone has solved this problem?

    Hi szy,.

    It is not a setting in Defender to use the on-demand scan, but there is a way to disable an auto scan however.
    The analysis runs as part of a scheduled task:
    1 open the task schedule (schedule tasks and he will be under search settings)
    2 double-click to open the Task Scheduler Library in the left pane, its located under Microsoft-> Windows Defender.
    One you want is called MP scheduled scan, if you click on it, on the bottom of the sidebar on the right you can turn it off.

    You would need to split export into several parts and have several exports running at the same time.

    Example: start the export for the first 1000 photos and, as soon as start, start and export for then 1000 pictures, etc.

  • Apple Mail only works when I restart in "safe" mode otherwise it becomes crazy, using all the capabilities of the CPU.  Seems to be linked to the case.  Any help?

    Apple Mail only works when I restart in "safe" mode otherwise it becomes crazy, using all the CPU capacity without any correct output.  Seems to be connected with caches.  Any help?

    Generally, if your Mac works correctly in Mode safe, but not normally, then you have a third-party software that runs at the start of the origin of the problem.

    Safe mode disables most of the extensions of third-party startup and some Apple hardware, so it could be another problem for Apple, but I have never heard of your problem.

  • Exceptionally the use of CPU high by almost all programs

    I have a BIG problem with my computer. It starts more than a week, and since then, I tried to fix it. The problem is that almost all the programs I use takes up 100% of my CPU usage. The only thing that aren't the window program, but they also take a lot of the CPU usage. It is not the usual 1-3 dry of high CPU usage using all programs. It's the high utilization of the processor for a long period of time. A Youtube video causes my CPU to go to 100% just by playing. Also, scans, surf the Web and things escalate. My computer is running very slowly because of this. It is about 2 - 3 times slower. It's strange because my computer would be rarely more than 60% for more than 5 seconds. The amount of memory of my programs are not unusual. It's just that the CPU part is medium to high. I am not able to play a game and open a web browser without massive lag on these two programs. I've done everything I can. I did a restore for one day before it happened, and it did not work. I'm looking for viruses with McAfee Microsoft essentials and Ad-ware antivirus and removed all threats. I clean my computer with CCleaner and Advanced system of care. I scanned for spyware with spybot S & D, Superantispyware. I checked for maleware with Malewarebytes. But the problem is not resolved. I really need help. If you want me to download something to scan my computer I'm for her, because currently, I'm desperate.

  • Western Digital My Book Elite treats WDFME. EXE by using all the CPU resources

    System: Dell Studio XPS 435MT / 12 GB of Ram

    Western Digital 1 TB my book Elite external hard drive USB connection

    OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit

    Problem: Computer works fine after reboot/coldboot but after entering Sleep Mode Performance is so slow reboot is required.

    The Windows Task Manager that shows a file associated with the external hard drive (WDFME. (EXE) uses all the resources (100%) in the process.

    Selection (WDFME. (EXE) under the process in Windows Task Manager and ending the process frees up resources and resources in use drops to

    about 10 to 13 percent. I have used this external drive for over a year without this problem until recently.

    I you'd be grateful someone out there with a solution would share.

    Searching the Web for information and or solution, I found that other users have the same problem. Of course, as any material of 'good '.

    company Western Digital chooses to upset their customers by not recognizing that a problem exists.

    Thank you

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm on Windows Vista 64 bit and I can not find a power management tab in the Device Manager either.

    The best solution is to stop using the WD external drive software and install a third party about Acronis backup management is recommended by many people. I downloaded and installed and it seems to do very well and I have my machine is back to run fast.

  • Vista Enterprise using 100% CPU countiniously

    I use Vista business on dell Inspiron 6400 (had vista with laptop). The laptop has dual core processor and a CPU is used 100% without interruption since install. I have installed all updates using windows update utility. I have also disabled the indexing service and also to adjust Visual effects for best performance. The problem still exists.

    In the Task Manager, I see a peremptory touch 100% CPU graph and another pretty normal CPU graph. I have 2 GB of ram and still 1,3 GB free. I have not yet installed any software. In the list of process System Idle Process takes, 90 + CPU usage no other program uses much CPU.

    For this reason, my laptop is very slow to respond and almost useless, please help me.

    I think that I found the correct culprit this time. I tried to disable the edge of BIOS devices implemented and it worked. When narrowed "Media Card and 1394" device was causing too much hardware interrupts. My PC works fine and no CPU usage after you turn off the device. I think that the fault was in Media card on board the aircraft.

    It took me a long way to reach this solution, so to help others here you are a few steps to take to limit the problem.
    -Task Manager open to see if any software uses the CPU more than expected. If you notice any software then its easy to uninstall or disable the program at startup etc.
    -If Task Manager processors are normal and yet one or more CPU is used close to 100% and then download and run http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe ProcessXP and run
    -If material interruptions take up too much cpu, then try to disable/remove your attached devices, like modems usb, wireless lan, lan card BIOS Setup etc.

    Hope this will help.

  • Firefox crashes (even in safe mode) constantly and use 50% CPU while doing

    I use Firefox 36.0.1 and Windows XP (32-bit version).

    Lately, Firefox made this weird thing where it stops randomly load anything, as if the connection has been broken (it isn't, any other works very well). In this case, Firefox uses 50% CPU, when it is usually revolves around, well, 0%. Restart the browser, or waiting for a few minutes "fixed" the problem temporarily. Same thing in safe mode, too.

    I have the feeling that this * might * be related to Flash, since it seems to happen more often when I am watching videos, or stream on the shaking. I tried to disable the plugin-container and update the Adobe Flash Player plugin, with little success. Malwarebytes could not find anything either, and it does not feel like a virus anyway.

    Whatever it is, I'm out of options at this point. I had a lot of problems with Firefox for a while now, especially when it comes to videos/animations (I can't play the videos of Vine.co , for example), and it starts to make it difficult for me. I really don't want to switch to Chrome, I don't trust of Google and their browser doesn't have a lot of key functions I like in Firefox (such as the sidebar bookmarks < 3), so I really hope I can get help here.

    Any suggestions?

    Chrome is a pain, I tried to go back and difficulty of Firefox (so far), and again, I think I found the problem. I should mention that I tried these 5 suggestions before, btw, and none of them got rid of the problem. Yes, even in safe mode, with a profile is empty, no plugins, no firewall and without tab, it happens again, somehow. And Yes, Chrome will work fine with Firefox running in the background, as I mentioned in my previous post.

    What he did for me was turn off Prefetching and IPv6 times in all: config, following the instructions on this this page .

    I'm not sure that one did the trick (I kinda afraid to mess with that again, but I could test if you want to, it might be useful to others), but it looks like everything is going well for the moment.

  • 35.0 Firefox uses 100% cpu on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1 then either breaks or needs force quit.

    I had this problem since installing Yosemite and using 34.0.5. I upgraded yesterday to 35.0 but still the same problem. Firefox will work happily for a while and then all of a sudden will use 100% cpu. I disabled all extensions and plug-ins and that made no difference. If I use Java (8-25), it will usually make it crash but not always.

    To make things worse, the accident report appears in Greek (which is considered in another question already).

  • Why Firefox uses 100% CPU when I am connected to eBay?

    Firefox uses 100% CPU when I connect eBay.

    Hi apdubois, it is useful to know that Flash is the problem but, as you point out, life without Flash is not very interactive.

    It is a standard orientation that addresses the most common reasons for problems of Flash in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

    (1) make sure that all recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

    (2) disable graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash

    (A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here and restart:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (B) in Flash, see this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) turn off protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

  • 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.
