When I click on go to service, nothing is highlighted, I even tried manually by clicking on go to treat all services running.

  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.

  Reference: How to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: when you're done to diagnose, follow step 7 in the article to start on normal startup.

  Method 2: Read the following article to download and install Windows Defender in offline mode

• Alert by file svchost.exe alerts for high performance, I also alerts for high disk writing & more

  When I'm on my computer, it's constantly noise and it has become very distracting and aggrevating. I'm afraid that this may cause problems with my computer as a whole. Could this be a virus? I have Norton 2011 and I use this program to the greatest extent, at least, I think I do. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Vista delivers alerts such as you describe. They come from Norton? Please describe in more detail or post a screenshot. Pop - ups of this nature can come from fake system maintenance programs.

• LabVIEW 2016 high RAM usage

  I just upgraded to LabVIEW LabVIEW 2015 2016. Previously, I had no problem of memory. With 2016, however, even though I have a few screws open, rest, only LabVIEW uses 3 GB of my RAM. As I only have 4 GB, it slows down my computer to a crawl. Everyone knows these problems with 2016 or someone has a solution to reduce the amount of RAM LabVIEW requires? Thanks for the help.

  One of my colleagues has some portable "cheap" that are configured in the same way with minimum memory (4 GB).  Even when you are running Windows XP (which, in my view, is smaller and needs less RAM than, say, Windows 08/07/10), it has been very slow to do anything (can you say 'Wait 5 minutes for the OS to load'?).

  When Windows is "do its thing" correctly, it usually creates a swap file so that the software can use more than 4 GB of storage space for himself.  As I have indicated in my answer, LabVIEW 2016, when loading, seems to take a small fraction of this (a few hundred MB), even with the open code diagrams and block.  However, if your PC takes several minutes to start, runs very slowly in doing routine tasks and is an 'old' or ridiculously short of memory, it may be wise to (a) upgrade your memory (if you can), or (b) to upgrade your PC to the less a machine with 8 GB.  Remember, you use the PC to run LabVIEW, a solid programming / Data Acquisition/Platform Instrument I/O, surf the Web, send e-mail, or (hmm, I was going to say 'play', but games moves too, and tend to put more demands on the LabVIEW PC material, so both worse...).

• Using Windows XP Home - number svchost.exe - CPU to 100% for a whole day

  I have updates, set up in XP Home so that I am asked to install the updates downloaded stop. After that I did yesterday and restarted my PC, svchost.exe has operated at 100% usage for a full day. It will kill my laptop - it is almost 5 years and will not take a day more of this madness. Burn the hard drive and the CPU fan has stopped all day. I need to stop this.

  I checked the managed task and I have something like 60 and 160 000 + handles and those processes continue to increase exponentially.
  Any ideas?

  Hi Ivoman,

  Keep looking with the methods described in the answer above is one you have found probably only
  the result of another who is the real culprit.

  Update your NETWORK and WiFI card drivers could help as well. Manually review system manufacturer and device
  Sites of the manufacturer - and do not use the automatic updates that found that older drivers.

• How to check a Svchost.exe high memory usage and troubleshoot?

  How to check a Svchost.exe high memory usage and troubleshoot

  Beautiful Basu 'ASK ',.

  I think I know the answer. Visit this link

  And you can download SvcHost Viwer here.

  Run the following command from cmd: tasklist/SVC /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe".

  Focus on the PID that is causing the high CPU.

  Run SC Config = own Type for each service under this PID. It will launch each service with a separate svchost.exe.

  I would recommend for a complete AV scan.

• 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?

• High CPU and RAM usage - laptop Dell w / Vista

  Hello

  I have read several posts and tried many suggested fixes, but none seems to work so far.

  Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1525, with 3G of RAM

  Operating system: Vista Home Edition Premium, SP2

  Problem: CPU high (~ 50%) and RAM usage (~ 50%) when ideling.  I did both a "clean boot" and boot into "Safe Mode with network" and neither seemed to make much difference and certainly has not resolved the problem.

  When I go to the 'task manager' is a process "svchost.exe" system which is the eater of resources.  I can move the tab "services", but I'm not really sure how to use the information presented.  This is where I'm stuck, as I said, I read a few other posts with similar (but not identical/software) and I've tried a few things but do not seem to be able to solve the problem.  Please let me know what the next logical steps are at this address.  Thank you.

  Try to scan with malwarebytes free:

  Also update windows to the last available update.

  It might the ProfSvc (user profile Service). Try to connect to a different profile (user) and see if the problem is also present.

• Svchost.exe to 47 to 52% of CPU usage! ;-(

  For some strange reason, I have svchost.exe running at 47 to 52% cpu usage.  It's 6 380 to 6 444 K memory with the standard description of host for Windows process in the Task Manager.  User name is NETWORK SERVICE.  The system idle process is a 36% with 57 to 67% CPU usage.

  ANY ideas what it is?  I thought maybe would it be re-indexing, but it went on-and-on-and-on... ;-(

  I use McAfee AV on my chip 64-bit Vista Ultimate OS and Intel (Dell Inspiron, 500 GB HD, 4 GB of RAM; LED display).  Hard disk no is used, is nearly 80%.

  Last scan was clearly for the AV scan

  TIA

  To check what service to use the CPU in a svchost with Process Explorer:

  • Click on "Show details for all processes" in the menu "file".
  • Make a right-click the svchost that you are interested in
  • Click 'properties '.
  • Click on the tab 'son '.

  Doing this causes some recent versions of Process Explorer crash on my Vista system but the 15.12 version published yesterday (January 12) seems to be OK.

  The phenomenon of high processor by Dnscache usage has been reported elsewhere, for example,

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistanetworking/thread/d2a2ad2d-A406-410C-9B7A-e22104fd2e2e/

  A possible cause is a large number of entries in the hosts file. Some security software (anti-spyware/ad blocking) can use this method to block malicious Web sites. You can reset the hosts on its default file using this fix it.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034

  You can also try to flush the DNS cache:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/74209-DNS-resolver-cache.html

  If it's not the hosts file, try to uninstall McAfee in the case which is in question.

  If you can't find what is the cause, running with disabled dnscache should not cause problems.

• Very high CPU usage in svchost during playback of an event in a major newspaper of the events using WMI

  Hello

  I have a very high utilization of the processor in the process 'svchost.exe LocalServiceNetworkRestricted' during playback of an event in an event log in Windows 2008 64 SP02 using local or remote WMI.  The same happens using Wbemtest or C++ WMI code.  The use of WbemTest, "Open forum" (identical to one the GetObject of WMI API) read just one of recent events in the event log:

  Win32_NTLogEvent.logfile = "application", recordNumber = 2615657 (in this case, it was the id since the last event in the very large to the Application event log)

  takes 3/4 seconds consuming thant plus 50% of the monitored computer CPU.  This only occurs when the event log is very large (in my case 1 million records), the event log contains about 10000 events just fine.

  The problem is that I read the complete paper in a remote program and this product CPU usage charge too much CPU to the monitored computer.  I do not read the newspaper of the events one by one, but I'm using WQL queries but I do some GetObjects and the peformance is really terrible.

  Any idea what to change or search?

  Best regards

• 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!
