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

• 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.

  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

  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:

• 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.

• Task Manager Windows has 5 svchost.exe/System cases and 3 instances of YahooWidgets.exe/Owner running in XP SP3

  I did a few recommended lately on the system settings.  I don't remember see these multiple entries above.

  It is normal to have several copies of svchost.exe appears in the Task Manager.  I have 8 right now in the process of execution.

  Important XP Services running "behind" these entries of svchost.exe.  Some svchost.exe process may have just XP Service running behind her, an another svchost.exe process can have several XP Services running behind it.

  In addition, malicious software has been know to dress up like a svchost.exe process to deceive you or sometimes the malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process, because he knows that you won't be able to see it in the Task Manager.

  I don't know what YahooWidgets and do not want to install any YahooWidgets to find out how it works, or if this is normal.

  Thanks to the bad implementation of the MS Answers forums, we know absolutely nothing about your system is always a good idea before troubleshooting to run some respectable scans for malware, then I'll give you some instructions, if you're curious to see what happens behind these multiple svchost.exe process see you in Manager tasks.

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update, and make at least an analysis full (not at the same time) with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  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.

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  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?

• Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

  I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

  Help?

  Why you turn off automatic updates?

  There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

  You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer.
  For more information about Process Explorer, see here:

  With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

  Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

  Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
