Recurring Werfault.exe takes 99% CPU as

Hello world
I came across a problem today with Werfault.exe. He showed up and quickly took about 100% of my CPU capacity, leaving me very little to work with (Vista) at very low speed. I have high speed internet, 2.3 GHz and 4 GB of RAM.
I went to Control Panel/System & Maint/Problem Reports and Solution/changing settings / settings advanced and disabled Windows Error Reporting for all on the network (desktop and laptop) and restarted. You know: Werfault.exe showed once again in the Task Manager.
I went to Windows Update, downloaded everything there was to download (most non-essential), restarted, my friend Werfault.exe returned. Pretty upset had at that time.
Tried all sorts of other things, none are effective, but you try in the hope that something works.
Finally, I got back into the Task Manager and noticed, you can highlight an offending exe and basically have using the 'End process' button at the bottom of the page, to the right. As usual, Werfault stood in two lines and share all my processor capacity.
For about 10 minutes, my CPU was a flexibility again after my action in the Task Manager. Then, the first Werfault came back, followed by "SearchIndexer.exe. I have seen that before - SearchIndexer after a brief period will replace Werfault.exe and we're back to square one.
Obviously, this approach works only a very short period of time.
It does not seem just to turn off something without going to the cause of why the 'belle' Werfault.exe arises in the first place.
I looked at a few sites on the web, but most do not receive further that 'disable Werfault in the controil Panel settings', which I did until I saw it.
So, I'm stuck. Windows O.S. is suffocating my computer by sending reports of Windows. Makes you think about how stubborn wrote the script for this type of help from Microsoft.
OK guys from Microsoft, if there is someone who knows how to get rid of the cause, but also a symptom of this error, it must be you. I hope you can help me as soon as possible.

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Following the advice of Christmas, I found the root of the problem rather than knock off the symptoms.

Go to the observer of events (EVENTVWR. MSC in the search bar). You should start the Event Viewer (Local).

Top of page is "Summary of administrative events" with a series of Types of events. For me, it shows that I had 206 errors in the last hour, 6000 in the last day... and it got worse after that.

So, I expanded the section 'Error' and found the ad that was originally the most errors. For me, it was pretty far down the list, but he had 192 206 errors in the last hour, so I clicked on 'Application Error'. I double-clicked, and he brought me to a new page.

The new page is a description of what goes wrong, but what you REALLY need to do is look at the first line of the large gray box. It will tell you: "Application failed BlahBlahBlah.exe" or something. Once you have a name for the author, you can search your own computer for that and see that he is related to or search the Internet.

For me, my problem was service of nProtect netizen I picked up during the use of the internet in Korea. I guess it was panic now that I'm no longer in Korea. Then I uninstalled the nProtect service and BAM, no more WerFault.exe hogging my resources.

Seriously guys. Look for the source. Your computer slows down due to the creation of report Windows, but this Windows error reports? Fix THIS, and you did.

  • Windows Media Center almost completely broken and ehRec.exe take 50% CPU

    My windows media center is broken. Part, but probably not all, the problem is ehRec.exe uses up to 50% of the CPU, which means that it is completely connected because I have a computer with dual-core CPU.

    Do not record scheduled recordings. Sometimes, I can't even in media center. It becomes inadmissible. Usually just after a reboot, I can enter (which starts the record if we were waiting) but not if I first have to do other things. It seems that my media center just kaput.

    Is it possible to reinstall completely media library? I tried to run Setup, but it blocks half the time with ehRec.exe pounding to the CPU. I see that other people have the problem of ehRec.exe (beginning around mid-August), but it doesn't seem to be a real solution to this problem.

    Remove any recent update of microsoft .net framework. I had this problem several times. The first time, he ended up reinstalling the entire system. Although I suspect that the recent update of the .net framework is the culprit, I was not skilled enough to remove it first.  This time I look for answers elsewhere and no one really had a clue. Then I removed the .net framework 4 client update and voila, problem solved. I hope it will work for you, if you don't have not messed around first with other parts of the system too. I tried scannow /sfc solution, but really... This only works if you have the most recent operating system on the disk. Many have download updates, service pack, Microsoft and therefore, cannot provide a disk with the appropriate files. Anyway, it is not the solution. Apparently, the way of downloading these updates of .net framework is important. I don't know the solution for a correct installation of updates, but do not know that the 50% CPU problem is solved EVERY time, repealing the last update. Hope this helps someone. I have certainly spent enough time and lost enough when microsoft updates, disable the operation of my computer. Unfortunately, it's the solutions we try that sealed the fate of our readers. I lost 15mos of professional documents in my records of e-mail in September of my attempts stupid to solve this problem, after that a previous update of .net framework caused my duty reinsall windows.

  • Windows Error Reporting service stopped recording of events in the event log, and now when it spawns werfault.exe, the process consumes the CPU until he is killed.

    Windows error reporting service ceased to record events in the event viewer. The last successful entry was 26/03/2010. Since then whenever the service generates Werfault.exe to handle the error, the process seems stuck in a loop of consumer processor, but do nothing. It uses 99% of CPU (80% preferred), is not e/s and number of handles, thread, & working set do not develop.

    Three Windows updates were installed in shortly after the last successful log entry (automatic update is enabled):

    Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Hi Wannknow,

    It's good information - and thanks for the thanks! You really only need to run an adware or virus (malware) program at the same time. What I would recommend is that you choose an adware program - either "Windows Defender" or "spyware doctor" and disable the other. This can be your root problem, so at this point I turn back on 'report of problems and solutions' and see if you experience the same problem:

  • ! 00% CPU use due to Multiple Instances of WerFault.exe running on Vista SP2 computer

    I recently reinstalled Vista (reinstall clean due to the failure of the hard drive to the new hard drive) and SP2 and all updates available. I think WerFault.exe works sporadically (up to 5 instances at a time) using 100% cpu. This makes my system unusable. I end the prossess (s) by using the Task Manager, but they keep restarting. I tried the error report auto disablinf and made many analyses of malware with various reputable antivirus/antispyware programs that have all found nothing sinister. I do not have insalled all programs that I didn't have prior to reintalling Vista. I had never experienced this problem during the four years that I've been running Vista. Any suggestions?

    Werfault.exe is the windows error reporting service. type 'services' in the search from the start menu, right click on the "error reporting service Windows" and choose "Properties". In the drop-down list "Startup type", choose "disabled", then restart your computer.

    Also in the reactor for coldfusion I'm not able to see any request related to this behavior.

  • Windows XP I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes.

    Running Windows XP, I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes... this process can be completed or ignored?

    "Setup.exe" is a generic term used by many applications.  The short answer is 'yes', it's OK to complete the process, but you really need to know what it is and why it continues to run.

    You probably need to download, install, update and run these free malware scanner (not at the same time):
    MalwareBytes AntiMalware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If that is not fix things, and assuming that this process begins when you start the computer, download, install, and run Autoruns.  When Autoruns has finished scanning, click the 'Connection' tab and look for the line that contains "setup.exe".  You can just uncheck the box on the left, or remove the item, which will prevent the routine of starting when Windows starts.

    Preferably, however, you should look at the path containing setup.exe where you should be able to deduce what application is trying to set itself up.  You can then take the appropriate measures, which may be simply delete the folder that contains the file.  Note that if you delete the file, you must ALSO remove the line in Autoruns, otherwise you will get a "file not found" error every time Windows starts.

  • Very heavy use of the processor because werfault.exe

    My machine is extremely slow due to werfault.exe.  Manager tasks shows the use of the CPU to 100% all the time.  The processes tab shows 2-3 instances of werfault.exe using all of the CPU resources.  This continues indefinitely and a reboot does not fix it.  The only way I could do my usable computer is by stopping the Windows error reporting service.  However, I fear that this eliminates simply a symptom and not the underlying problem.

    I also met the very high disk activity.  I disable 'Run on a calendar' in the fragmenteur disk (after I did a full defragmentation) and I've also eliminated Super Fetch.  He did reduce significantly the disk activity, but there are always times when the hard drive is busy and I see no reason for this.

    You go to 'Services' to disable werfault.exe.  Click on the Windows button or what it is called in Vista (the thing that replaced the 'Start' button in XP).  Enter 'Admin Tools' in the search box.  Right click on "Services" and then click "Run as Administrator".  After that 'Services' opens, search for "Windows Error Reporting Service".  Double-click it, and then you can stop it and turn it off.

    I'm not having any luck with either.  Now as I type this, there are 2 instances of werfault.exe race and each consuming more than 40% usage.  "Problem reports" and Solutions show nothing.

    It started shortly after I had installed Vista.  I had finished not even install all applications - perhaps began after installing SP2.

    I think that I will reinstall Vista.  If the problem comes back, I'll have to go back to XP.

  • 100% use UC associated werfault.exe

    Because I downloaded Vista SP2 about 2 weeks ago, my computer has been incredibly slow.  I ran all the spyware & antimalware - nothing.   Finally checked my CPU speed and I am 100% CPU usage with two threads werfault.exe using about 95%.  I cleaned records too, nothing.

  • Portege will extinguish after iTunesphotoprocessor.exe gets the CPU to 100% usage

    Hi all

    I am having a problem with my Toshiba Portege and sync with my iPad2.

    I'm syncing large amount of photos to my iPad, when synchronization progess is at the stage of optimization photos iTunes runs two processes iTunesphotoprocessor.exe and the CPU usage is 100%.

    The Toshiba fan then runs at full speed until the immedialtey of the computer turns off.
    It is not a normal shutdown of Windows 7 64-bit. It's an energetic power loss, while the Toshiba is on a/c.

    I can reproduce the same with my iPhone 4.

    I thought I should use a USB hub with an adapter separated instead, unfortunately, there is no difference.

    It is not only synchronize photos that it occurs also when I sync movies and only iTunes.exe running at 100% CPU usage.
    Which brings me to the conclusion that the iPad draws a lot of power of the Toshiba until the laptop is on its knees.

    I use external drives (not USB powered) and can copy a lot of data without any problem.

    Perhaps worth mentioning that I have improved the Toshiba two months ago for Windows 7 64 bit and installed all the 64-bit drivers found here on the forum with the upgrade of the BIOS.

    Any hint is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion this has nothing to do with the power supply or the power adapter plugged.
    The iTunesphotoprocessor.exe belongs to the iTunes software and in my opinion this software highlights the laptop CPU s that cause automatic shutdown!

    This means that it is not a problem of laptop but the Apple software.
    I m not sure if it s a compatibility issue with 64-bit Windows system, but he s certainly an iTunes problem

    So, in my opinion, you need to reinstall this software to see if that would help
    You can uninstall this software from the system and could clean the registry with CCleaner, it helps to clean the registry
    After that and after new restarts, you can try to install a version compatible 64-bit iTunes maybe it helps
