  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Svchost.exe (Service, or SvcHost host) is a system process that hosts several Windows services. It is essential in the implementation of the process of the so-called service shared, where a number of services can share a process in order to reduce the consumption of resources.

  Sometimes viruses can usurp themselves as system files.

   

  Method 1: Put the computer to boot and see if that helps:

  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

• Svchost.exe using too much cpu!

  I have a Windows 2003 Media operating system, svchost.exe occupies almost all my cpu.  I tried to download the update, but I already have service pack 3.  Not sure why this problem arises now because it seems to be a problem that Microsoft fixed in 2007.  Help, please! I read that there is an agent 3 or something like that which solves the problem. What happens if anything do I need to download.  I will also try to see if the problem pops up in safe mode.  I'll look to see where the svchost is still running.

  Download and run the "Process Monitor" freeware.  It's a task manager on steroids.  Find the svchost that uses all CPUS and place your cursor over the name of "svchose.exe".  A pop-up window displays all the services covered by it.  Go to the Services (start-> Run-> 'services.msc') screen, check for these services, and by a stop or pause these services while monitoring your CPU usage.  You should find it pretty quickly.

• Dllhost.exe consumes too much physical memory and execution of 25% of CPU

  Dllhost.exe use high memory Usages.How to solve this problem?

  

  Hi Brendan,

  Did you recent hardware or changes to the software to the computer before the show?

  Dllhost.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft Windows Operating System. The dllhost.exe file manages DLL based applications. This program is important for the stable and safe running of your computer and should not be terminated. DLLhost using lots of CPU may indicate a malware issue.

  You can refer to Korupulu Maestracci suggestion in the following link and check if it helps.

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-performance/dllhostexe-COM-surrogate-constantly-running-10-12/320d1831-a9c4-4374-BBC4-70a8f145b1d2

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this helps.

  Please report if the problem persists and we will be happy to help you further.

• Computer runs slowly, several instances of dllhost.exe and svchost.exe consumes large amounts of CPU and RAM, please help!

  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.

• Enter 'My videos' in XP MCE 2005 causes ehshell.exe operate at 100% cpu.

  I am running XP, MCE 2005.  Media Center works well EXCEPT when I go to "my videos".  When I do the computer slows down to almost completely stopped.  The ehshell.exe file begins with almost all of the cpu by itself - Power Manager tasks shows the CPU to 100% usage.  Even when I can finally quit Media Center, ehshell.exe works still occupy almost all the power of the processor.  I deselected all directories to make it look like videos - so it should not be taking the time to search for videos (although the root C: videos show always upward).  I can go to TV, music and photos within MC and all is well.  The only way for me to make it stop is to restart or 'stop process' in the Task Manager.  Any idea?

• 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 CPU / out max memory due to the update of Windows

  I'm having a problem with a svchost.exe process running the CPU at 100% and more than 200 000 K of memory.  The service seems to be related to Windows Update (PID 6408).  Is there any solution for this?

  Hi SF340_Driver,

  (2) how did you get the information that the problem is related to Windows Update?

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

• 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 is SIGNIFICANTLY slow down my computer

  Hello, I recently went on vacation last week and a half before hand, I shut down my computer, so there are no memory leaks for my era [6 days].  I came home and turned on the computer which ran fine for awhile.  But then my computer started to act, because every once and a while, but this lasted since I got home.  Norton is my anti-virus and continues to tell me that "svchost.exe" using a lot of memory.  I must have at least 15 + svchost.exe process open for what reason so ever.  3 of which are in high use [one to 70,000] and the second at 20,000 and the other 10,000.  The first two [70 000 and 20,000] are both in the category of user name of the 'system' and the third one [10 000] is in the category of user name "Local Service".  I need help to solve this.

  I was wondering if it could be a virus/Trojan horse that has affected the svchost.exe program?

  It can also be a good idea to start safe mode and check your memory usage
  so that the Safe Mode on minimum processes.

  If you find anything when running via boot-
  While most the VA is supposed to detect spyware, but also viruses/malware
  Spyware Search and Destroy specializes in spyware detection and maybe another reference useful.
  It would seem that if you have spyware using a lot of RAM, then it would
  also use some cpu resources because it sends its information on the net.

  BTW - I've never had malware/spyware in ten years of using a PC (had
  false positive since my AV well), but I do not use torrent sites, social networks or open unwanted e-mails that are the main source of bad things.
  Your problem may be something else, virus, etc. are known to install at the re-start and can be installed in the boot sector of the HARD disk where they are very difficult to remove.

• 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.
