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

• Why my svchost.exe process constantly runs at 100% CPU usage?

  Recently, my computer was extremely slow.  I thought that was the cause of a worm or virus but after I used Norton to take care of that my system is still slow right too. When I checked my system process, its display svchost.exe using a massive amount of memory. Therefore, my CPU usage is constantly at 100%.  Is it still the result of a bug? Or do I have to look elsewhere as the source of the problem? Thank you

  It is possible that a recent update of Norton was faulty or caused one conflict with another program on the PC.

  Activity excessive svchost.exe is often linked to one of the following:

  1 resource hog like Norton or McAfee (sad but true)

  2 be linked in Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update

  3. after having been updated for Windows Search 4.0 and its endless reindexing

  4. the presence of malware

  Unless you have uninstalled Norton AND used their removal tool, I doubt you really deleted ALL occurrences of Norton!

  FWIW, I helped a neighbor recently with his performance problem. The culprit in his case was Windws Search 4.0. And since there is no entry in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs to KB940157, I needed to follow the instructions offered by Nepatsfan here:

• 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 process uses 50% CPU at startup of Windows 7 PC

  Hello

  Can someone advise? I have a 32 bit Windows 7 laptop and when it is on, svchost.exe - k netsvcs will run and make use of 50% or more of the CPU and finally up to several hours.

  It is a very annoying problem where even if I complete the process using the Task Manager, it reappears shortly after. A reboot also sees a resumption of the process.

  I traced this problem to the (wuauserv) Windows Update I had to turn off to avoid the recurring problem. But as this is not an optimal solution, I'd quite like to know how to solve this problem permanently.

• My Windows XP SP3 system has a svchost.exe process that has started to use a good bit of CPU - 18 to 30% at idling.

  I've referenced KB 314056 to make a list of "tasks". There are 30 services running on this process.   FWIW, my wife's PC has the same services that runs under a svchost.exe process without a lot of CPU usage. How can I get figure out what service (s) is/is the use of the resource of CP?

  I found the culprit. I run Secunia PSI. The site is at www.secunia.com. When I stop this program the SVChost process falls to zero use. I run the same program on two other PC XP3 Windows without problem.

  I'll follow up with Secunia. Thanks to all who tried to help.

• SVChost.exe cpu issue with XP Pro after removal of Trojan

  My sister recently downloaded a virus on my computer. I removed the Trojan horse and have had problems with SVChost.exe are beginning to eat time CPU. This is usually triggered when I start Firefox. It may be unrelated, but I do not. I did a uninstall/reinstall on Firefox and now it will briefly be blip in the Task Manager process tab, but it disappears almost immediately.

  I service Pack3 on my machine, so I don't think it's the SVChost service Pack3 fixed problem. I ran a repair of XP once I have nuked the Trojan horse. I ran across the virus alarm area scan, adaware, and malwarebytes to make sure that the thing had gone gone gone.

  I did a check on what is in the regedit for svchost, and it has the following:

  default reg_sz

  DcomLaunch REG_MULTI_SZ

  DOT3SVC

  REG_MULTI_SZ

  DOT3SVC reg_multi_sz

  eapsvcs REG_MULTI_SZ

  getPlusHelper REG_MULTI_SZ

  HTTPFilter REG_MULTI_SZ

  imgsvc reg_multi_sz

  LocalService REG_MULTI_SZ

  netsvcs reg_multi_sz

  NetworkService REG_MULTI_SZ

  RPCSS reg_multi_sz

  termsvcs REG_MULTI_SZ

  wudfservicegroup reg_multi_sz

  I did some research, and I don't know where to go next. I think it's a registry issue maybe, or a svchost corrupt, but since I have service pack 3, I don't know if there is something else I can do, especially since the question seems to start when I start Firefox. Don't use not Firefox may be an answer, but I really want to make sure that the problem is resolved so that my computer is not get no more corrupt than it already is.

  I saw in my research programs will supposedly fix your registry database, but they seem to be more malicious sites, so I am wary of downloading something that is not specifically to Microsoft. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I might want to do next? Everything I've read seems to indicate the problem but not the solution. Thank you for taking the time to watch it!

  I think you can still infected?

  What the name of the Trojan horse?

  NASS - http://www.nasstec.co.uk

  Thanks Nass and Paulogergo,

  I think that I fixed it. I have re-ran all my antivirus programs and I did forget to empty my cache and temporary files. I clear up the registry and system files. I think that the real culprit was Zone alarm. They have this new feature, called force shield. I didn't know that there was a cache that had to be cleared out. Thus, the register needed to be cleared up, but the problem of Firefox was my firewall program. My machine worked fine for the last half hour with no slow worms down or my sessions of cpu overloaded. I run a defrag during the night to make sure. But it seems that everything is copacetic. Thank you so much both to look at this for me. I have not had a virus in 10 years and I forgot what I didn't.

• excessive use of svchost.exe memory

  Operating system Windows XP Home Edition SP3

  RAM 1 GB (just upgrade to 512 MB)

  Atitvirus Zone Alarm Firewall/antivirus Suite Secruity

  Internet - IE8 browser

  A classic computer session the process svchost.exe (System user), seen in the Windows Task Manager, will constantly increase its memory consumption until my computer slows to a crawl.  I've increased the RAM from 1 GB to compensate and now amseeing a much bigger memory usage by the process - up to 250 MB!  I tried to end the task and restart the bulk of the process svchost manages but have been unable to isolate the subtask that causes excessive memory consumption.  This has the advantage of reducing the consumption of RAM temporarily, but in half an hour or so consumption of memory is way up again.

  I repeatedly ran some virus scans by Zone Alarm (currently being updated), Malwarebytes "Anti-malware", "Search and Destroy" Spybot and SuperAntiSpyWare 4.9 nothing done.  I have IE8 configured to avoid pop ups and have blocked most of the cookies.

  What can I do to manage the svchost process to stop the runaway memory usage?

  Chaos_Edit,

  Of course, you were correct.  I downloaded the latest version of MS MSRT last Thursday (v 3.9.3901.0) and he discovered the Alureon virus.  He "partially" deleted and recommended I run a full scan using anti-virus software.  I ran my Checkpoint/Zone Alarm antivirus-Super-scan and it finally detected and quaranteed the virus.  Since then, my svchost.exe program slept about 25 MB memory usage.

  What intrigues me (or mind depending on my mood) is that this evidentlly virus exists since 2006 and still my anti-virus for Checkpoint/Zone Alarm, Malwaretytes Anti-Malware and SuperAntiSpyware all failed to find it.  I ran great/deep scans using the latest versions of each of these software products every night for the last month.  My ZA product is set to check and download updates every evening before the scan in depth.

  In addition, I started to download HitmanPro to discover that he wanted to maintain a direct link to my computer.  Probably not in my interest.

• Goes from CPU to 100% for seconds on Qosmio F becsue of svchost.exe

  My Qosmio often goes to a State of '100% ' for seconds, it is impossible to use the device. All I can do is wait. Normally it's svchost that catches the resources. Kill the process resolves the issue until the next time.

  I have normally 3 instances of svchost. I have 1 GB of RAM. TaskManager shows that I have 66 process, most of which I have not the slightest idea on what they do, but the event although they do not walk, do occupy memory.

  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

• Windows Update / SvcHost.exe 100% Cpu in the Task Manager

  This I know is not new to too many of us. Again - it's November 2013 and I would like to know how it happened AND what to do to fix it! Since 1997, I've built a lot of computers. I've never had this problem occur up to this relocation. Have reinstalled XP for XPSP3 several times. Don't waste time questioning my knowledge. Idem: components, motherboard, memory, nothing has CHANGED. The only thing that is different IS - when I finished installing Windows XP with Windows XPSP3 - tested the functionality - fast as * - magazine 'OBSERVER of EVENTS' - no problem, constantly check the CPU usage - low. My next step to activate Windows update to get updates to secure my system. Of course, the CPU spikes at 100% - due to a service request host CPU! I have to say - IF the meter would have a parameter to 200% - I have no doubt she would be higher than 100%. Even if I am sure of the rightness of my process to install the OS (once I've done several times over the years), I decided since I have not loaded any other thing - I format the drive (Nov 19) and start all over again. I'm sitting here today, with a computer case with components of audited operation, with a properly installed OS, motherboard drivers installed - do anything else and I can't do windows updates. Note: the first attempt install (17 Nov) - I tried the advice on Microsoft sites, the fix it systematic, installation recommended a version of net framework without result. There are also other tips to run a routine (don't ask--I do not dig up these data) in 'safe' mode which also failed to remedy. Frankly, I rarely use advice of experts even out there, but I decided that if it worked or not - I wanted a new facility, one last time to have a computer working properly that I built myself and gift.

  Hi Joseph,.

  Follow these steps.

  Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates.

  Check mark the option at the bottom to turn off the automatic updates.

  Click apply/OK, and then restart.

  Svchost consumes always 100% cycles CPU?

  If this is the case, follow these steps.

  Click Start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc

  In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?

  Here's a pix what he looks like.

  

  If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.

  Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

  Research should show this file in the following locations:

  C:\Windows\System32
  C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

  It may be present in C:\WINDOWS\system32, but if you can see it, follow these steps to register the service.

  Click on start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

  Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

  Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
  %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

  If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

  If you could only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 you can change the path to that instead.

  Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.
  Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

  If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
  Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

  Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
  Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

  Reboot once more and then do the following.

  Go to this link and install the IE8 December Update:

• Problem of CPU for the 90-100% svchost.exe

  When I bring my task manager, I see that svchost.exe has a really high CPU usage, it just started a few days ago and im not sure what is wrong. I tried updates automatic disableing and also I remember having the same problem with an older computer of mine, but I thought that I fixed it with the installation of an update for Windows XP (KB927891) called update can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A&displaylang=en

• 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.
