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!

Dave was soon.

  • Svchost.exe (netsvcs) 100% cpu - update of Windows *.256 cause - update forever checks as does Defender.

    Hi, I got 100% usage cpu choking my system Toshiba laptop L300 Vista 32-bit, cause - (netsvcs) svhost.exe in time real trouble was unknown and tried everything has failed. So I did a complete new installation and fully updated to SP2 then the next update and it required me to download the latest update to terminant.256. My system is now unusable with constantly check and update svchost.exe using 100% cpu. All is well until I start to WU and I restore prior to this Windows Update Agent...

    I have:

    Disabled Windows Firewall and Avast antivirus.

    I tried all the things as well in safe mode.

    Installed costs.

    Followed the instructions found on the net

    In offline mode, downloaded and installed the latest update which is the same as that.

    Whenever I have restore before this update, it works very well. The download of the update even if I have restore and install only the off-line version, it cripples even with 100% cpu and without end of audit. He made also Defender without end of audit.

  • svhost.exe causing 100 cpu

    My computer is running at a snail pace because the svchost.exe uses 100% cpu ALL the time.  It's almost impossible to open and close programs.  I'm only able to use my computer if I stop the process through the Task Manager.  I would like to find a fix for this if possibel so I didn't complete the process each time I want to use the computer. O running all tests antivirus and registery scans I can think.  I thought it must be some kind of virus, but I can't find anything.  Help, please!

    You can determine exactly what causes most of the problems by following the steps below:

    Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:

  • accidentally turned off during the update of windows

    Guys, im using sony vaio with vista premium OS and it is automatically updated, I had used to remove my battery for use at home, during the update of windows, I accidentally kick off the power cord and it disconnected from the main power switch and turned off, when I open it I saw a note on the bottom right 'tm this copy of windows vista is not authentic.

    someone could help me on this guys, how can I do recover without reformatting my laptop.

    Please help me guys...

    Thanks in advance...

    Needless to say, cutting the current during the update process can cause all sorts of problems - many not even related to the update itself.  It is a common branching.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I don't know if this will solve the problem, but it might.  It's worth a try (and it can be useful if there are other problems that you have not yet detected).  Whether or not it works, you will need to re - install the update (and this time won't turn off - LOL).

    If you still have the problem of validation after system restore, and then click Start / computer / system properties and check the bottom of the Activation section.  Your system always shows that it is enabled?  If this isn't the case, then reactivate.  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    If this does not resolve the "not genuine" message, please post your problem in the Windows Genuine Advantage Forum: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads , where the experts on this kind of problem will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  They will probably ask you to run a program and download the results so they can examine in order to find the problem - just follow their instructions.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Way around being hung to one outlet during the update of Windows Vista Service Pack 2?

    I have a problem, I have a laptop Toshiba where AC internal adapter is broken, it has been for some time - but my buddy has also a Toshiba laptop computer, where I can just return for batteries between the two and this system has worked fine just now, the problem - I could do my Windows updates business as usual until Service Pack 2 for Vista, it will not allow the installation of the update because my laptop is on battery.  Is there a way to get around this?  I have of course no way to connect to food unless it is repaired, and at this point I just prefer to get a new laptop that money put into this one - I'm hoping somewhere someone has suggestions! :(  Help!  Thank you!

    Hello Victoria MariaElena.

    Unfortunately, there is not another way. Your laptop must be powered by the sector during the update to avoid the laptop shut down due to lack of battery power.

  • wifitask.exe causing 100% CPU use

    I use Windows 10 and realized that my computer is very slow. I tried to use flash for a meeting and it was so slow it wouldn't load. I checked Task Manager and noticed that my CPU is at 100% usage. I ended up most processes that were not required to run windows nothing helped, but when I closed wifitask.exe, the CPU would go from 30 to 80%. However, after a short time, wifitask.exe causes somehow himself to run and CPU usage was 100%. What exactly does wifitask.exe do? I can remove it or do I have to reinstall something? I also noticed that svchost.exe and lsass.exe use about 25% CPU each but what I've seen, that's normal? wifitask.exe shows that it only uses about 15%, but it's the only thing that removes the CPU usage when I finish it.

    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I have worked on this all night and to meet soon. Thanks in advance.

    Defender (MSE) is by far the cause.  It is using 45 + % CPU and is also the largest process of writing the disk.  Because it is part of the OS, you can not uninstall & re-install so your options are limited.  You can install an app different malware that automatically turn off MSE

    There is evidence (on earlier systems) that restricting directories Defender scans can reduce this effect, but I can't find any reference to win 10.

  • The CPU usage during the treatment of empty blocks VDR

    Why "datarecovery" process uses 100% CPU during the processing of the empty rooms of VMDK? Dedup so complex algorithm (inefficient read) that he needs 100% of the CPU for the treatment of the zeros?

    Please inform me

    For HW7 virtual machines we do not read the blocks of zero from the disc, but we chunk through the blocks of zero in the store of deduplication. If the disc has a large number of blocks of zero then for the VMs HW7 zero block segmentation will only during the first backup - since we leverage change block followed after the 1st backup. For VM HW4 this will happen during each backup since there is no change tracking support block.

  • Windows 7 pc froze during the update of Windows, does not start

    Computer and installed the latest updates have frozen at "windows configuration, not met off the computer.  After 30 minutes computer turns off by itself.  When I restarted, computer 'start' but nothing on the screen.  After 30 minutes, the computer turns off again.

    Running Windows 7 without any previous problems automatic updates.

    Thank you

    Hello
     
     
    1. remember you number updates that have been installed?
     
     
     
    First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.
     
    Method 1.
    Let us run repair system at this stage, it might solve the problem.
    See the following articles for additional help and steps on startup repair.
    Startup Repair
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Startup-Repair
    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
     
    Method 2.
    If the bows persists please verify if you are able to boot safe mode.
     
     
    If the problem exists not in Mode safe run mode startup minimum troubleshooting to find the root cause of the problem.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
     
    Method 3.
    I recommend you to restore system using a Windows 7 DVD.

    Here's how:
    To open the Options menu system recovery using a system repair disc or a Windows 7 installation disc
    If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the Windows 7 installation disc or a system repair disc previously.
    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.
    a. Insert the disc.
    b. restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    o If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.
    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it and then choose the system restore and check.

     
    If we are able to boot to the desktop now, I would ask you install the updates one by one andcheck the update is at the origin of the conflict.
     
     
     
    I hope this helps.

  • No indication of traffic during the update of Windows

    Strange problem. When you use Windows update (via the notification system, not through IE) there is no or almost no indication of traffic: 1: progress bar and the text indicator (xx % AA) only get updates 2-3 times during a 23 MB download. This is new behavior, it will display each percent) 2: Network Monitor in systray give no idea that there are 3 inbound: Manager tasks, graphical network traffic gives no blip by updating 4: Comodo Firewall Traffic indicator and the active connections see nothing. But the download of the update and is installed later. Basically, other than a flashing light hard drive, I have more idea if the download of an update works (for the first 10 minutes, then the progress bar is updated and past at 10/11% or something, to 34, etc.). In addition, given that this problem occurred, update is horribly slow. My comp. is ONLY connected to my wireless router, WPA encryption. and no Bluetooth or other wireless adapter. Anyone? = Vista Home Premium SP1 ESET NOD32 AV Comodo Firewall 3.8... 477

    Hi girizano,
    Most of the time when you see weird things like that it's the 3rd-party addons like Firewall and intrusive antivirus software.

    I'm not saying that yours is, but that's where I would start to check to identify the problem. Matt

  • E5-571 news froze during the update of windows

    Hi, my 5 E5-571 days old froze during windows update last night, left on the screen to update from one day to the next, had not changed by the morning, had to close it using the manual key, lit a few hours later, still stuck on the same screen to update, but no progress on the update.

    Call the customer support service, informed it was due to an accumulation of static electricity, said to unplug the power cable, press and hold the button to exhaust excess electricity, then plug in and turn on with a press of the button as usual.

    Computer worked after that.

    I was wondering if this sounds an alarm for other Acer users? Has anyone else had the same problem, and it is called a recurring problem? Is this a known in the community of acer solution (unplug and press the start button to get rid of static correction)?

    Would be happy to hear the answers!

    Yes, I know difficult.

    nothing to worry too much.
