• 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!

• 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.

• My laptop is often spiking to 100% CPU usage and always > 10%, with a physical memory to 25% + even though I have no programs running

  Recently, I reformatted the drive, reinstalled Windows and have no personal data on this subject. The only application there is office, which I am not, using McAffee and my browser:-I use it mainly for web browsing.

  It seems to happen mostly when I was using the browser, then left the machine for a few hours, then come back and tried to use it again. I turned off the screen saver and specify power options to keep permannently because she seems to be that the question was restartinjg rest. When the CPU usage is at its peak, and I try to return to the browser (or whatever it is) it may take some minutes to answer - just to load the Control Panel, for example.

  I can see from the Manager tasks, which is currently running, but ideas on how to identify the process that all take this resource, I can stop safely and therefore to save resources?

  Processes are:-

  CSRSS
  DWM
  Explorer
  mcagent
  MSASCui
  rundl32
  Sidebar
  taskeng
  Taskmgr
  Winlogon

  Also a lot of services - too many to list!

  All the processes you list, apart from mcagent, which is McAfee, are essential components of Windows. If you finish one of them outside the sidebar of your computer stops working to a greater or lesser degree. You could try gadgets on sidebar of closing in case one of them is wrong to behave.

  Another thing that can cause the CPU to boost with no application running is Windows Update and probably analysis and updates from McAfee.

  Don't you have the CPU column shows in the Task Manager, so that you can see which process is using most of the CPU? What processor is it? What is a heart?

  A better tool than the Manager of the tasks for these circumstances is Process Explorer.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

  Process Explorer is a chart of the CPU where you can put the mouse on a cob and it will tell you what process is using most of the CPU.

  There is an introduction to Process Explorer here.

  As for the memory of 25%, 25% of what? Computer laptop 2 GB I write this on shows 42% of physical memory used with any running application. It's Windows. It's big enough.

  In your situation, one thing I would try would be to uninstall McAfee (run the removal tool then http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507) and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

  I think first we should know something on your system, then you should run some respectable malware removal tools and then only start troubleshooting of any problems (unless you just want to start guessing and try things).

  Because the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know almost nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  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.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  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 to antivirus/antimalware protection please follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• Why did FireFox flash black and then cause a huge CPU usage and crash?

  I don't know if this has been asked before, but on Windows 7, FireFox will cause a high CPU usage and the black flash and then crash. No idea why? Acceleration is disabled for the options and flash.

  Would help if we could read your Crash reports.

  Please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID that begins with a bp - then go back to your forum question and paste the ID into the box of "Post a reply".

  Note: If a recent report ID does not begin with bp - click it to present the report.

  (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID.) The image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like).

• Older games causes rundll32.exe to open and 100% CPU usage

  Gameux.dll, Rundll32.exe, the CPU usage and no internet! : D what a pleasure!

  From some (mostly older) games rundll32.exe causes opening with Gameux.dll and is 100% of the CPU usage. I know that it's because she's trying to connect to internet, I did not. What is my alternative to make my games work again! I want to delete game explore all together, but Microsoft didn't really care to add such an option. If I can't find out tomorrow night, I'm going to start in a 2nd OS and delete the dll, and if Win7 stops working, I will be switching back to Windows XP.

  All the solutions!

  I thought it was a pretty well known problem that the Games Explorer does not work in offline mode? He opened Rundll32.exe to run Gameux.dll and idling with 100% use of a nucleus. I think that this problem has been around since the beginning of Windows Vista (or at least since the dawn of Windows 7, not tried this problem under vista).

  WHAT, for anyone reading this in the future (Google or otherwise), I found a Solution. (Not a pretty, I take no responsibility, but it worked twice for me).

  I went into the registry (Regedit.exe)
  CTRL + F (find)
  Looking for the GameUX,
  and whenever she finds one, I deleted it. excluding results within areas such as "{xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}", no need to remove those. but all other entries GameUX, including directories (not sure of the term suitable for registry entries)

  Anyway, long story short, I fixed it by removing each entry in registry GameUX that I could find. all games work now, even offline! : D

• Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the beginning

  Original title: Vista processor

  Stupid Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the start.  Cannot run anything with any request of CPU without getting bogged down and crashing.  It is not windows defender, I suspend this service and the machine is ok for another 1/2 hour, them I'm up to 50% of the CPU.  The idle process said Task Manager is > 90%, still indicates 50% CPU usage and the cooling fan looks like a 747 taking off.  Should I just pull the machine and go for Linux, or what?  Cannot run games or whatever it is, totally disgusted with vista of POS and microsoft can it Deep and do not get windows 7, it is probably worse.  Is that all I can turn off to get the same performance than, say, windows 3.1?  It would be preferable to the current situation.  MSCKMA.

  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.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Hi guys,.

  I build an application that is used to check the CPU usage and paging using LabVIEW. How can I do?

  any help, suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated...

  Kind regards

  Prashant

  Hello

  If you plan to build your app for Windows, you can use .NET classes. (System.PerformanceCounter), there is a simple example with LabVIEW:

  C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\comm\dotnet\SimpleTaskMonitor.llb

  

  Also, you have several screws that you can use to verify information about the processor.

• OlioWeb VM consumes 99% CPU usage and get errors webload olio.

  Hello

  I have 3 ESXi servers in cluster and a separate Esxi server for virtual computers customer. I have 2 tiles set in my configuration.

  I lit only tile0 of Esxi server1 and ran the vmmark test. I got the result in the form of complaint with scores generated.

  Same way lit only tile1 of ESXi server2 and ran the vmmark test. I got the result in the form of complaint with scores generated.

  Now, I tried to run the tile 2 tile 0 energized the server 1 and tile1 energized server2.

  I found olioweb vm of two tiles consuming 99.9% CPU usage and result shows a lot of olioweb the failure of the workload. I observed ESXi server consumes 70% only the use of the processor in both servers.

  I would understand if its cpu leads to failures of olioweb? Also find out if hit the threshold of CPU?

  Is there something wrong with my vms olioweb?

  When I run tiles tiling oly 0 or tile1, I see oiliweb VM consumes 45% CPU utilization.

  Verifed below things after mentioning other discussions with similar errors.

  -> VMware tools installed in the virtual machines.

  -> 10 G network adapter is installed on all servers and network synergy is less than 30% in the vmmark test.

  --> All are same server with the same configuration of CPU. DELL PE R820.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  When you say you checked the space on OlioWeb and OlioDB VMs, have you done this before or after the race?  For verification, please make a "df-h" on all 4 virtual machines before and after the race.

  In addition, it seems that you have set up the hosts file incorrectly:

  OlioWeb0_hosts.txt:192.168.7.4	Olio-db
  OlioWeb0_hosts.txt:192.168.7.14	Olio-DB
  OlioWeb1_hosts.txt:192.168.7.4	Olio-db
  OlioWeb1_hosts.txt:192.168.7.14	Olio-DB

  Only, there should be one entry per host for olio-db file.  Try to change that and we will collect a cleaner race.
