• Svchost.ext take all my memory (all 16GBs of it)

  Hello...  I can't find my original message.  Here's a quick on the issue from my point of view.  I have a motherboard very modern Intel SATA 3 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  I have 16TGBs of RAM.  A few weeks ago I received a message 'not enough memory '.  Weird, I thought.  I rebooted and then the message is up to 30-45 minutes.  Then I restarted and does not go to my office.  He missed of memory still. I did a "msconfig" and did a clean boot.  The same problem.  I run MSE every 24 hours and updated definitions before his execution.  I loaded down 4 or 5 rootkit and packets of virus that promise to find and kill this problem, but nothing has worked.

  I started in safe mode.  The problem disappeared.

  With a normal startup, looking in the Task Manager under memory I can see "dllhost.ext", just using my memory. I find all my files svchost.ext.  All activities of type Microsoft point.  Some I can stop, some won't let me stop them.  I tried to re load Windows, but I have run out of memory before you can complete the installation.  Someone here has answered my question and told me to run Malwarebites. I ran it.  It found problems, so I said to fix each of them and he did. I ran it again (deep search, not that fast) and it found no problem.  I found the beta program of rootkit in this software and he ran.  He finds nothing wrong.

  This has not fixed my problem.  I can only now run my computer in safe mode.  I really need help.  I read everything I could and installed a lot of 3rd party software that is supposed to solve this problem, but nothing did.  Can someone give me some advice please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply.

  As you are able to start the computer in safe mode, you must perform the analysis of complete security of the computer in safe mode. Try the scan in safe mode and let us know the status.

• 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.

• Svchost.ext takes 100% of CPU

  I ran AVG, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender, and no problems are obvious, but the CPU works almost constant, when the computer is in use. Sometimes, the fan runs so fast and made so much noise that I put the computer on 'stand by' and restart just to calm down the fan. Once when the machine was left running and monitoring, the computer off itself for high-speed fan.  Thanks for any help

  You need to determine which service is to take all your CPU and disable it.  Try the following...

  1. Download and run the "Process Explorer" from Microsoft.  It's basically a task manager on steroids:
     Process Explorer: <> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx >
  2. When you run Process Explorer, you will see the "svchost" instance that uses all of your CPU.  Place your cursor on the text "Svchost.exe".  A pop-up window will appear that will give you a list of Services that are running under this instance of svchost.  Sign for these services on a sheet of paper.
  3. Start up of the window (start-> Run-> "services.msc") Services.
  4. For each of these services you noted in step 2, find the service in the list, double-click it, and then click on "Stop" or "Pause."  If your CPU goes down to normal, then you have found the service giving you the problem.  If not, then restart or resume this service and move on to the next.
  5. When you have found the responsible service, you need determine how to manage it.  If it is a 3rd party application, then you may need to uninstall / reinstall this application.

  I had a previous experience that 'Windows Management Instrumentation' will often peg my machine 100% of the CPU.  Usually, it is only for 10-15 minutes or more and then it returns to normal.

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

  Currently on Windows Vista Home Premium, trouble with SVCHOST.exe using anywhere from 20% to 30% of my CPU. I know and understand that SVCHOST.exe controls many important functions in Windows, and that some of them may, but should not be cut.

  My question is not what is SVCHOST.exe, my question is why he's contstantly using anywhere from 20% to 30% of my CPU (and when I say constantly, I mean all the time, 24/7.)
  I'm almost certain that this is not a virus, so please try to steer clear of this response.

  I actually found the answer to my problem. The problem was a sound driver that somehow wrong installed on my system. I updated and reinstalled the driver and the problem was solved.
  The problem was "Realtek High Definition Audio" under sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager.
  I hope this will help you

• How to isolate svchost memory problem use which is BOUNCING - Windows 7 SP1,.

  I have a seemingly common problem with svchost executing a sub-process that uses too much memory (about 1 GB).

  I read some of the tips advice in other places, and MS know using Process Explorer and disabling of processes such as

  Windows Update, even if I don't him have yet done.

  The problem on my system is intermittent, often at startup, but not always, and the system can operate for several hours without problem.

  So I would like to collect some details historically.

  The Norton Suite, I will provide a history of alerts performance svchost, but I cannot determine from this one

  piece of information which process svchost and sub-process is the culprit.

  How can I record the kind of detail found in the Process Explorer so that I can identify the guilty post-hoc?

  -Update

  Completely disable the Windows Update process has eliminated severe performance problems I was experiencing.  The procedure is described here:

  http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-fix-svchostexe-errors-and-problems-with-high-CPU-usage/

  I also ordered a memory upgrade for laptop (2 GB to 8 GB) so that I can activate W7 updates.

• Show contents of window while dragging doesn't work, XP Pro SP3

  The option to display transparent versions of file icons when they are dragged in a different window is no longer works in my XP Pro SP3 installation.  "Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> Performance settings-> see the window contents while dragging" is selected and remains selected after restarts.  The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows registry entry is set to 1 and the remains after restart.  This is a Dell computer, but I have no Dell Multimedia Experience installed, which is not the problem because it's with a lot of people.

  This setting has worked for years on this machine and work stopped for no apparent reason a few days ago.  It works on another identical machine, which makes things even more strange.  What could possibly happen?  Thanks for any help you can give.

  In case anyone has the same problem and comes across this, I managed to solve this problem (and the infamous 100% of svchost CPU problem) by applying this fixit. I have no idea why this fixit has something to do with "show window content while dragging", but it worked.

  Moreover, this forum software is atrocious.  I can't mark my answer as the answer just because I wrote it?

• 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

  I tried to install it but it tells me a new package system is already on it and there is no reason for this update. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  This problem is common for the windows operating system. I hope that this source will help you - http://fileinspect.com/fileinfo/svchost-exe/

• Last update of Windows XP and SVCHOST. EXE problems?

  Hello. My PC runs XP SP3 (HP Media Center) 3G of ram. It worked very well lately without any problem whatsoever. This morning I started as usual. I noticed the familiar Microsoft Update 'yellow shield' in the lower right of the task bar. I flew over the mouse over it and it read "download updates 0%. He never got above zero (or I couldn't open Update window). I pulled up the Manager tasks and SVCHOST. EXE has been hogging 99% of my CPU. I have everything closed and stopped and restarted. After the reboot (thinking it was a problem of Windows Update), I went on the Microsoft Windows Update site and clicked on 'Express' updates to try to update manually. He began cycling (search?) updates and soon SVCHOST. EXE, roared back to life and pegged the CPU at 99% of use (effectively maxing out the CPU at 100%). Page Update MS has never reached the point where it stated that I needed updates... He kept just cycling and research. Once the SVCHOST. EXE is happening (I tried this update 3 - 4 times today) it does not stop (if I close the window of Windows Update or not). I need to stop and restart. When I stopped, I see a prompt "end program" for RUNDLL. EXE that (when I try to 'end') translates into a prompt "unresponsive". I have to leave the program to close. As a precaution I've scanned with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware and all were clean. No problem with MS Security Center is. I never saw my computer behaves like this before. At the time of this post, it seems fine except when I try to update on the Microsoft Site. Is there a bug or a problem with the last update?  Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you.

  Install KB2846071 for IE version 6: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39519
  Or update IE 8 version: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx

  New info: the best way is to KB2870699.  He has the problem with high CPU.

• 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.

• Win32 exception in svchost.exe, many other problems that occur

  INFO: Go to the last page to see my solution (there are two pages!)

  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?

• Log file of NOD32 which can help diagnose the problem with svchost.exe, WScript.exe, mshta.exe and windefender and update please someone help does not!

  HHmmmm bears ok I will answer your questions, but I don't really see the relivence of them for the progs anti, spy, virus, malware are not the problem.

  (1) a little more than two or three weeks ago or not.

  2A) about two weeks ago.

  No. 2B) I don't buy anti progs that do not work. Why would I? He did not set the blocks just prob the random load IE 8 to a maleware site addresses.

  (3) I got the updated version of Avast for almost two years. He simply blocked addresses saying something was trying to use svchost and WScript mshta.exe to attempt to load IE to a maleware site. I disabled Avast but since the installation of NOD32 if she does not interfere.

  (4) I don't remember what I used before I think it's Norton or macafree but I don't know about two years ago, I had the computer taken, wiped and reinstalled windows and they gave me Avast for free.

  (5) Yes, I tried Norton and Macafree, and they do not work to correct the problem. I uninstalled them well and they are no longer on my computer.

  (6) no they were not preinstalled.

  If you're going to ask me to do a system restore it will not help I already tried. Useless program when you can't use it. I tried several times with different dates, even in safe mode. I already ran on Microsoft Live Onecare, MSRT, Fix and MSE. I have spybot, malwarebytes, superantispyware, synematic and have tried them all. Nothing can solve the problem. Now NOD32 blocks the random addresses loading IE but it is very annoying seeing this thing pop up constantly. The only thing that it does not stop is when I use IE occasionally it will load a location for a Wal-Mart gift card, but I've just close it. If I use a different prog or any it constantly blocks the random addresses loading IE. I don't have IE loaded. Yes I have popups blockers, but it does not block another page being loaded on the card gift wlmart site. everything else works well.

  Please don't give me no matter what more links to the help pages for Microsoft because I already looked through them all and tried a lot of useful advice and none have worked. What I really need Bear is a set of instructions on what or the files to search posibly containing a script that gives orders to the system files to try and load IE maleware sites. I need to know where to look, what I'm looking for and how to rewrite or erase the command or script. Probly get rid of some files HKLM or commands too if there are orders as well. I'm sure you'll tell me its probly in both registry keys. in any case if you can help with a set of instructions on how manually enter and take care of the problem that would be great.

  I have seen the manual of instructions on how to repair scvhost.exe but I'll not go messin' and delete this file cause I know that you need so that windows run. I'm sorry for the poor fools who go on Ehow and follow the instructions. in any case if you can help it would be greatly appreciated I don't have the money right now to put this thing in the shop with Christmas around the corner and all. Peace!

  bear oppss sorry I forgot to say of windows has been completely updated in time and yes I was able to connect to windows update and defender update as well before that happens, but now I cannot connect to a, but can connect to anywheree else apparently on microsoft or other juice of sites not not both.

  I have rebuilt entirely twice because of this.  At least this time it seems to occur when you install a Brother printer.  I saw the "related thread", but everything which was said was "network card drivers have been corrupted.  OK, but what I do about it?  The problem occurs because I couldn't run most applications.  Could not run IE or AIM.  After restoring to before the installation of the printer, I managed to capture the error message and get most of the applications that are running again, but I suspect that it's temporary.

  Hello Dakeller99,

  Thank you for posting.  It seems some of your files may have been corrupted or altered.  You can fix this by using system File Checker to analyze and repair the.  I've included the steps below to make a SFC.  Let try this and see if it will fix the problem.

  Please let me know if this helps you.

  The tool File Checker system to determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start
     Collapse this includes this image

     and then type cmd in the box start the search .

  2. Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator.
     Collapse this includes this image

     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

  3. At prompt command, the following line, and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved. If the problem you are experiencing is not resolved, use the procedure that is described in the section "the System Restore tool. Other troubleshooting methods, such as the use of the tool file system, the System Restore tool checker cannot solve the problem. If they do not resolve the problem, and the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start
     Collapse this includes this image

     type system restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list.

  Collapse this includes this image

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

• In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.
• In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
• Click Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.
