"Runaway" svchost.exe problem

• Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

  Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

  I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

  I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

  Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

  There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

  But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

  1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

  2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

  3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

  4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

  Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

  IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

  IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

  IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

  5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

  Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

  KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

  There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

  Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

  Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

  But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

  MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

  MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.

• SVCHOST.exe problem: use anywhere from 20% to 30% of my CPU

  Currently on Windows Vista Home Premium, trouble with SVCHOST.exe using anywhere from 20% to 30% of my CPU. I know and understand that SVCHOST.exe controls many important functions in Windows, and that some of them may, but should not be cut.

  My question is not what is SVCHOST.exe, my question is why he's contstantly using anywhere from 20% to 30% of my CPU (and when I say constantly, I mean all the time, 24/7.)
  I'm almost certain that this is not a virus, so please try to steer clear of this response.

  I actually found the answer to my problem. The problem was a sound driver that somehow wrong installed on my system. I updated and reinstalled the driver and the problem was solved.
  The problem was "Realtek High Definition Audio" under sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager.
  I hope this will help you

• Problem of CPU for the 90-100% svchost.exe

  When I bring my task manager, I see that svchost.exe has a really high CPU usage, it just started a few days ago and im not sure what is wrong. I tried updates automatic disableing and also I remember having the same problem with an older computer of mine, but I thought that I fixed it with the installation of an update for Windows XP (KB927891) called update can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A&displaylang=en

  I tried to install it but it tells me a new package system is already on it and there is no reason for this update. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  This problem is common for the windows operating system. I hope that this source will help you - http://fileinspect.com/fileinfo/svchost-exe/

• Problem with svchost.exe

  The svchost.exe process uses a lot of memory and CPU. It goes up to and more than 300K. Services he treats are BITS, EventSystem, Nla, RasMan, SENSE.

  TapiSrv, W32Time and winmgmt. This may or may not be related, but at the same time this started, AVG stopped a few threats, mainly viruses blackhole, or something like that. There are also sometimes stops if I don't finish the svchost.exe process, although it gets a bit annoying, because it becomes my white taskbar... In addition, the process doesn't seem to end.
  So I was wondering if any of these services could be the cause of my problems, and how to deal with that said service. Earlier, the better it is. I have a feeling that this is linked to me download visual novels of some recently however. Can I have downloaded a fake, but I always deleted them if it were bad files.

  You can try to change the setting of "Automatic" (starts when the system boots) on "Disable" (and then restart).  I don't know what this action can have side effects.

• Win32 exception in svchost.exe, many other problems that occur

  INFO: Go to the last page to see my solution (there are two pages!)

  I think this happened to me before.  I use the computer, the internet works, there is an audio device, and then 2 debuggers of just-in-time pop up and say that there is a win32 exception in svchost.exe.  Please, don't say this goes into the Visual Studio forums because, even if I uninstall it, another dialog box appears saying there is some kind of error in the application, and when I close it, I can't run programs more.  Sort of, I do not debug themes stopped working, and sign says 'no audio device not installed' even though it says there is one in the Device Manager.  It's happened before, and it separated.  I didn't know why.  I just turned on themes manually, he worked and re-installed my audio device.  Then, I went to microsoft update website to see if it would update, which was probably my problem the last time.  But it did not load the site.  The site, in internet explorer, said quickly "check you have the latest software update, something about activex and then opted for"the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view".»  I was very fast, and I couldn't read by taking a screenshot.  Oh, and it was http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us.  The options on the side are grayed out; I could not verify anything.  When you try to access this page in firefox, it says that the connection has been reset.  I can't update.  But that's not all.  When opening internet Explorer, there are 2 process iexplorer.exe.  In a path of the process Viewer, he confirmed that both come from the windows folder.  One is bigger.  Kill any process would result in the closure of internet explore.  That is to say, I'm not familiar with so I do not know if it is supposed to have 2 processes.  At one point, there was an Explorer.EXE and an explorer.exe.  I have done both and when you have nothing, that it was a virus.  I couldn't find the file and so it's probably still here.  Yet once, there are even more.  The Windows Firewall/internet sharing ect. process cannot start.  When you try to start it I get error 5: access is denied.  It isn't my printer, because my computer is not connected to one and the page of my computer not long to load.  I have XP home SP3.  In addition, when you try to start a java game, I get the message "the virtual machine cannot be started.  I have reinstalled java without result.  I have MSE.  I see no virus in my departure upward.  The win32 exception appears more than once, resulting in the themes service crashing.  This seems to be a virus.  There are several explorer.exe, but not Explorer.EXE.  In internet explorer, when I google something and click on a link, it is redirected instantly.  But not in firefox.  Thank you, if someone can find the solution.  I will try antivirus and restores system analyses.  Unless those who were corrupt, too.

  MSE update!  Microsoft Update worked, too.  I downloaded TDSSKiller on my office and renamed it in randomname.com.  He ran clean when I did not.  I used the command prompt to change the extension of the files exe to com, but you can enable extensions file via file operations in Explorer. Then I ran it and it found one thing trojan backdoor that other programs could not remove.  Deleted, updated, and now everything is fine (sort of).  There is a beep randomly when starting upwards, but I use inconvenience.  Is everybody stumped, or something?  Someone can it mark as answer?

  Hi there, this is a long and strange problem... My cpu ussage rises 40-50-60%, when I have contributed the most of volume upward. Svchost.exe (DcomLaunch) and (LocalSystemNetworkRestricted) using all the cpu.

  I closed the Sound Settings equalizer, problem solved. But it does not correct this problem. As you know, Equalizer is the most important thing to listen to the music... So I can't hang with it.

  I tried everything, scan pc with MalwareBytes, BitDefender, ComboFix, Norton Internet Security in safe MODE (my default antivirus it is)

  And I formatted my pc, always the same. Looks like that is not on the virus. It s on sound authority and management. I use mainboard Asus M4A87TD USB3, so you know the sound chipset...

  I need my Equalizer back and my cpu too... ^^ I hope that someone can solve this problem...

  Kind regards...

• How can I reinstall svchost.exe

  After using a program called CCleaner, I discovered that I have somehow inadvertently erased svchost.exe to join. It does not show in the Task Manager and when I go to the location of the file there (and any other program, service and/or file) pulled up a error message that says 'no power accept' orders at the moment. With the help of my OS boot drive was unsuccessful.

  CCleaner is an excellent program, the newspaper that you do not use its

  Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
  registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
  do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
  What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
  have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake

  It can have.

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
  good deal.

• SVCHOST - svchost.exe - k netsvcs use 90% + CPU usage, slows down the powerful machine for analysis-Whatsup?

  SVChost.exe - k netsvcs paralyzed my machine like no malwaer never. From what I can tell, it's something to do with Windows Update.
  Nothing else unusual is running. There is no malware involved. And all updaes settled except that I can't update .net. I get the following error message:

  "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86.

  What can I do? I'm frustrated.

  Thanks for the help! I followed Joel advises above & it SEEMS to have solved the problem. I say SEEMS to, because I've seen the problem apparently solved, only to resume again after a few days. Update Malwarebytes showed no infection, do a scan in depth.
  I'll be back if DIF back... for now, problem solved!

• 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:
