striking of svchost.exe running 60%-90%-100% cpu, programs stop responding and no work is done

Svchost.exe (DcomLaunch), (LocalServiceNetworkRestricted), (LocalServiceNoNetwork), (NetworkService), WmiPrvSE.exe all use a percentage high CPU at the same time and once the CPU reaches 100%, no job-processor programs remains 100% different services 'line up' one after the other in the resource monitor. There has been several cases where an odd address momentarily appears on the tab of the Firefox home page at startup. Also had the pop-up WARNING this computer is "exceeding number of 16-bit programs running. Restart is 'ignored' and need to turn off the computer and start to break the "line-up".

    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.

    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.

  • Svchost.exe several process taking high CPU usage

    * Original title: svchost.exe bleeding memory of multiple processes

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1 on decent office equipment.  Intel i7 - 2600 k, 16 GB of memory Corsair, 2 TB HD.  Recently, I noticed that sometimes the Web pages would much to slow while my 5.0 GHz network turned to 15.0 Mbs.  Also online MechWarrior gave me games much more than before lag to the point where I wouldn't be able to play.  This began about five to seven days from 29/09/14 and was regularly do worse.

    So I took a look at my resource monitor and the Task Manager and discovered fifteen process svchost.exe running and a svchost.exe * 32 running.  They were dispersed users (System, Local Service, Network Service), and we were shooting at 150 000 + K.  Sometimes there would be two consuming the same amount of memory, but I have yet to see more on the list do so.

    I'm certainly not an expert, but I take care of my computer.  My network is password protected, I ran a complete virus scan of the system that was detected (and if it is dangerous, I'm not at all more risky than Facebook sites on my PC.  I am saying that it is highly unlikely that I have no virus.)  I also checked the forums for others who have had the same problem and there were few.

    The only change I made is my network hardware, upgrade my modem and router/switch.  My router is a dual band and my computer is the only one on the frequency 5.0 but check on my computers to families that run on the 2.4, they have what seems like unusually high memory usage svchost.exe as well.  I went back two restore points, but that made no difference.

    Syschk control function run as administrator has not resolved the issue as well.  So what else am I missing?

    In order to diagnose your problem, we need run Windows performance toolkit, the instructions that are in this wiki

    If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask
  • I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update. The svchost.exe process is spiking the CPU at 100% after the computer crashes.

    Original title: I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update.

    I'm in you process of having my computer running faster. The svchost.exe process takes 100% of cpu memory and computer dthe freezes. A friend of mine told me a method to solve the problem, but I can't find the fix_svchost.bat update. I went to microsoft update center and don't find any results at all, and I don't know another place to look for. I think that the update does not even exist.

    I could send you a fix_svchost.bat file, but I don't think it's the starting point.

    What you need to do is run a few respectable scans for malware first, and then see if any of you are your svchost.exe process is still badly behave.

    Behind each of the svchost.exe process that see you in the Manager of tasks can be one or more process of XP you have to be running, but malware is KNOWN to imitate or hide behind a svchost.exe process, so you won't be able to see in Manager tasks.  You have to outsmart it.

    First yo should make a reasonable effort to eliminate malware, and then start troubleshooting - not the other way around.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    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..

    No matter what you use for malware protection, 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/

    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.

    In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

  • Svchost.exe running 93-99% of my cpu

    I have a problem with the svchost. Whenever I have to connect to internet the svchost.exe always exhausted my CPU at 100% and causing slowness on my laptop.
    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you all for breakfast and information.

    Have tried all the methods above, but the problem remains.
    Sure some kind of virus, spyware, adware or Trojan programs can hide behind the svchost.exe process.

    In the end, have to re - format the hard drive and the problem resolved.

    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:

    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!

  • Svchost.exe using 99% of my CPU

    Title says it all

    It seems that your system may be achieved a malware.

    Some reading on svchost.exe and how it can be hidden (just read).

    http://www.file.NET/process/Svchost.exe.html

    Sometimes, it may seem that one of your svchost.exe process is out of control with all kinds of CPU and memory, so understand that some malware will hide as a process behind one of your several svchost.exe processes.  Everything you see in the Task Manager is a process that has run amok of svchost.exe.

    The malware knows that you will not be able to find and see it in the Task Manager.  The hopes of malware, it will inspire you to do something drastic as use a Restore Point, perform a repair installation, or even reinstall your XP from scratch when none of this is necessary.

    No matter what you use for software malware, detection and removal do this first:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs:

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

  • I have a svchost.exe in the processes that CPU load in WinXP.How to control this?

    Process / task manager has a svchost.exe thatreally slows down and sometimes crashes my computer. Windows XP Media Center Edition with

    SP3. Is there any solution for this?

    It is usually associated with the Services.  One instance of "svchost" can support multiple services.
    The first step is to download and run the "Process Explorer" from Microsoft
       <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653 >
    This program is the the Task Manager on steroids (once you try it, you'll never go back to the Task Manager).  Once you start, you should have no trouble to identify which instance of "svchost" consume all your CPU.  When you do this, place your cursor on this "svchost" in the process column.  A pop-up menu lists the services that are currently covered for this instance of svchost.

    New commissioning Services (start-> Run-> "services.msc").  Find running services that correspond to the list that you obtained in the previous step.  A double click on this service will give you a screen that will allow you to Pause or stop this service.  Try to stop the appropriate services until you see your CPU down to normal.  This will determine what service is the consumption of the CPU.  How you handle this from here will depend on what you find.

    (As a side bet, my money is on the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service.)

    HTH & good luck,

    So it is currently 05:49 where I am right now and I've lost sleep over this issue these days.  My computer went from fast to slow apparently all night and I cannot understand why.  I downloaded Malwarebytes and ESET Nod 32 Antivirus free and I have Avira.  I have scoured the sysinternals Process Explorer and cannot find the root of the problem, and I just need someone better than me to help me with this problem.  I will follow all rules or guidelines, I'd really appreciate just for help!  Thank you!

    I mean not kind of, but not in a concrete way.  I backed up all my hard drive on a USB of terra, reset my computer at the store settings, basically wiping and just re - download the essential.  In fact, it works better than ever, now that it is cluttered with.  It seems barbaric, but he did a lot.

  • the process Svchost.exe to netsvcs uses a lot of memory (~ 600 MB) and 100% cpu

    I have windows xp edition sp3 family. I hit the power button to hibernate the pc but I think an automatice update was running.  Pc crashes when windows resumes after hibernation. I forced a re-boot, but now the svchost.exe to netsvcs process uses a lot of RAM and CPU. I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 1 GB of RAM. Svchost uses > 600 MB of memory and 100% of the CPU unless I have stop the DHCP service. When I stop DHCP the svchost stops using CPU and memory affected slowly decreases to about 150 MB and remains at this level. But without DHCP I do have access to the network.

    After installing SP3 recently I started having some weird problems, as I lost my printer and had to re - install the software. Also noticed that after re-booting and desktop appears completely empty, the screen turns white and the taskbar at the bottom will appear empty for about 30 seconds, then reappears. PC seems to be more slow tha before installing SP3.

    I've tried everything. Nothing stopped the svchost to chew all the memory, virtual memory and time processor. Had to re - install windows xp.
