Windows 7 is slowing down, block memory shows 98% use, wmpnetwk.exe

While not all programs running or executing programs, I noticed windows 7 would start using my memory and I have a game lag and stop, I watched my indicator memory as it was up to 98% in use... I have 4 GB of RAM on my 64-bit windows computer 7.  I went to tools and wrote a check to see what type of program was a memory leak. It was the following program wmpnetwk.exe

When I turned off wmpnetwk.exe my memory would be down to a single concert in use and 3gigs saving. When wmpnetwk.exe would start up... yet once I see the memory run out till he should reach the mark high of almost all my four concerts in use.  Even though I was sitting idle on my desktop without running programs the wmpnetwk.exe program would begin using this amount memory. While I can surf the net or running othere progams that I had to close this off progam or to stop running in the article taks a windows manager tools. Please correct this program in windows 7 as soon as you can... It allows windows 7 a eater of real memory... and very unpleasant to use.

If you have ideas how to stop it please let me know... Thank you.  It's still the wmpnetwk.exe program that uses this memory.

I reverse it noticing when CD importing to itunes. This has to do with Windows Media Center. If you use Media Center, do not change anything... If you don't use it, open it and go to settings > libraries.  You need to remove libraries for recorded TV, music, photos, videos, etc.

Once you have removed all this, things should go back to normal. I noticed then that I import CD that my fan was super strong which was not normal. I looked into the Task Manager and saw that it was wmpnetwk.exe running - it was scanning the plethora of new songs I drop me off in my \Music\iTunes file.  Given that I have that off in Media Center, I had the problem since.

Namely, I noticed that the CPU usage go as high as 20% on my laptop (chart below). When he died, the fan barely returned I hope this helps someone.

  • Windows updates significantly slows down my computer

    Whenever my computer is a windows update that it slow down my computer, I need to run a virus scan that helps a little but it still runs slowly takes about 5 to 10 minutes to restart.

    If your antivirus software is nothing else than the windows Defender - you might want to experiment & uninstall it.

    Visit the support site anti virus and find their methods of uninstalling...  Many antivirus programs really need a separate download program to uninstall them successfully.   When you see that windows Defender is working properly, it's a good indication that you probably have a successful uninstallation.

    Maybe... then your computer might speed up you decide to reinstall the anti-virus program or not.

  • Qosmio G50 - Windows does not shut down without memory stick inserted

    I have a Qosmio G50 running Windows 7. The pc does not stop unless I have my USB stick inserted. Without the USB, I can tell the pc to stop. Without the inserted stick, the pc will say that it stops and remains on the screen closed for 10-15 minutes and then restart.

    However, as soon as I put the USB into the USB port, the pc will stop within 2 seconds.

    It is not easy to understand the situation and explain why this happens.
    Qosmio G50 is not latest model cell phone, so I can't imagine that this strange question comes on the first day.

    Something like this can be done with the factory settings. The configuration, preinstalled software, background running applications and processes on your Qosmio OS are not known to us is not easy to help you with this.
    Somehow, I think that something running in the background blocks of the system. Unfortunately, I can't say what that would be.

    Check a bit.
    By the way: have you noticed the behavior even if you try to use standby or hibernation mode?

  • Is - 10 Windows on Bootcamp slow down my MacBook Pro?

    I have an early 2015 with Pci 128 GB flash.

    Currently I have 75 GB of free space.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Your 128 GB is too small to install OSX and Windows and have still room for apps/programs and data.

    To answer your question directly. using Boot Camp to install Windows creates a completely separate bootable partition for Windows. When running Windows it is without impact on OSX because OSX does not run with Windows. When running OSX it has no effect on Windows because Windows does not run while OS x is running. It has therefore no impact on the two BONES when either is running.

    I am at a loss for what to do and wondering if something on the Board that controls the speed of the fan go haywire. I also upgraded to the latest BIOS and that did nothing.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

    original title: scanning for dell studio 1737 and recommended bios update

    Hello, generally, I read until I have my answer, but I can't so I think I give it a try. Somehow I screwed things up with my computer. My main complaint is that I have something running that takes a lot of memory according to the Task Manager. My fan runs often, 1-1/2 minute stop time, pop up messages telling me to stop then reload IE9 sp2. I found some stuff on my event viewer, but I can't seem to cross the first error which is something on my bios. I go to the dell website to try to update with a flash of the bios but note comes up saying that my computer does not accept the flash. I have other issues in both event viewer, but can't remember them that I can't get beyond the the bios issue. The computer is a Dell Studio 1737 plenty of core duo memory 4 MB with plenty of space on hard drive and it seems to do well but all the * running in the background makes it run hot so the fan. All I want to do is get a scan for my installed bios system and install an updated version. I am not able to do at Dell. Maybe they want me to pay to support or something. I did all the FixIt of ms, I ran three different registry cleaners, I ran three viruses different scans, nothing. I've loaded my vista dell disk and tried to recover or repair and cannot do it either. I notice weird things with ie. I've done several downloads for versions 32 and 64 bit, to do the right thing. Maybe he has an it is to say the conflict or something. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's related to the fact that my computer takes 1-1/2 minutes to stop, even if it starts normally. I played with it for about a month now and I'm traps at all reading. If I can Flash my bios and get this update, maybe, I'll be able to get then some of the other things go. Here are some tips from the event viewer if anyone has any time for her. $ 1 million for any help thanks! If anyone knows where I can find a site that can digitize to my existing configuration and then recommend the installed updates. Oh, just in case anyone is wondering why I do not pay just for a few servieces for help me, or take it to a computer store, I don't have a job and can not afford it. Believe me. I have many errors saying: the embedded controller (EC) has failed in the specified time-out period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with the manufacturer of your computer for an updated BIOS. In some cases, this error may cause the computer to function properly. And The Office Source Engine service entered the stopped state. Service WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto - Discovery Service entered the running state. The Google Software Updater service entered the running state. The Google software update service entered the stopped state. A total of 60 errors in a single day, for weeks. Thanks again!

    Ok..

    The first task manager...

    Open it and then click the CPU tab until the processes that use most of time processor are grouped at the top of the list.

    The system idle process should be at the top and then maybe three points below that seem to take the time to processort.

    Make a note of them and then look on the Internet that each fact or the program, application or process to which they are linked.

    Forget the event viewer and any reference to it in the BIOS...

    All the * running in the background will not cause it's running more hot so the fan. BUT, you can have installed something knowingly or perhaps inadvertently causing the CPU work all the time. Reference to what I said about the Task Manager. This is where you will find the cause most likely.

    BIOS... How to download and install... taken directly from the Dell support site. No payment at ALL is required. BUT, you probably don't need to do and if you do, it should choose to do so, it should be performed using socket at a time when it will present no risk of a power failure...

    Fact MS Fix - its for what exactly?

    Use of registry cleaners will create more problems than they ever solve. You may well have created one of the issues by running a registry cleaner. Uninstall them as best as POSSIBLE...

    Three viruses different scans? Without doubt completely uninstalled before the installation and execution of another? In addition, what av scanners?

    Many downloads of 32 and 64 bits, what?

    Your computer may take a long time to stop if an open e-mail program is defined on control too frequently, or if a backup utility is configured to check the differences between system and backup is too frequent. In addition, some gadgets can slow down to stop, and USB keys will cause Windows to ensure that there is no process to read/write that run to them before she stops them.

    Flashing the BIOS is not and has never been the panacea for all the ills of the computer and won't solve ANYTHING in your case.

    If you have upgraded from Vista...

    Go to the Dell support site and downlaod driver and install any Windows 7 drivers for your machine other than BIOS. If you enter your number of service on this site...

    http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=CA&CS=cadhs1&l=en&s=DHS

    you will be presented only with the specific drivers for your machine.

    This should eliminate the errors of the EC.

  • scvhost.exe netsvcs high memory (1 GB or higher) and slows down the pc

    We have seen several cases in our business where scvhost.exe - the netsvcs used a large amount of memory on computers. I understand that many services under this one. We cleaned wbem folder to see if that fixes it, but also erased the event logs and have not seen a will. What is strange, is that even on a system with 4 GB of ram, even if netsvcs uses 1.5 GB of ram and the system uses 1 GB that leaves 1.5 GB available. I do not understand why windows will slow down to so much to become sometimes unusable if it still has 1.5 GB of ram available. The processor is very well. I've had people restart and he made disappear one day, sometimes 2 or even a week before it slips back to the top. Under the resource monitor if I highlight scvhost - netsvcs on the memory tab, it does not divide which is to use it. I can go to the disk tab and highlight it and I can see which processes are slot there for what is written on the disc, don't know if this is useful, but in the diagnosis.  Any thoughts?

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f10 you start Notepad to open the menu of the bios.  Under Advanced Options or diagnosis tab, you will find the possibility to run tests on the hard drive and memory.  Post back with the details of any error message.

    If the criteria above, try the following.

    In the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

    sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

    Then, click on the Start Menu, click computer, left click Local disk C once to highlight, right-click Local disk C and select Properties.  Click the Tools tab and then click on the button "check the drive for errors.  In the next window make sure that both boxes are checked, then click Start.  Right plan the audit on the next reboot of the system, and then restart the laptop - this process can take several hours before the load in Windows.

  • When I open too many windows, Firefox slows down

    I use Firefox for ever and I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. As far as I know, that nothing has changed on my end, but Firefox started running slowly after opening the windows of. How I usually use the program and have done for years, is to open pages in a lot of different windows and close them as needed. This does usually cause no problems and I can leave the program running for days at a time, works perfectly well.

    Last week however, something changed. Now when Firefox starts up first, it works very well, as expected, but then after a period of time, usually in a day, sometimes within a few hours, it starts sensational "gunked upward." At this point, when I try to load a page in a new window, instead of load instantly, there a second or two, during which I can not move to any other Firefox window, but all other running programs work very well. This State continues and grows slower and slower to load new pages, until I closed and reopened Firefox, then the cycle repeats.

    Again, this is a new situation, my normal behavior would not normally cause this kind of slowdown even after a week or more of continuous service. I ran a control of viruses and malware, without success control on either and other programs are not affected. I tried to restart as well, but the problem came back shortly after. I also turned off most of my modules, including those that have worked well for months or years, and still no change, it slogs always down after some time. My Firefox is also currently up-to-date, of course (27.0.1).

    What is going on?

    OK, I put some time in troubleshooting and think that I thought about it. After going in and out of safe mode several times, I reduced to a problem with Adblock Plus. With him in the distance, I could open a ton of windows, with it on this subject would begin to slow. A quick workaround solution was that if I went in the menu of the Addon whenever he began to slow down and disabled Adblock and transformed then turn it back on, it would reset the downturn, but I went to their own support site and came across people with the same problem solved by picking up a beta version of the addon. Since the installation, I got no problems.

  • There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as the Firefox Start Page, at 26.0 Firefox on Windows!

    There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as start up Firefox, 26.0 Firefox Page, Windows!

    seen on:
    -Windows 7 x 64 machine with 12 GB of RAM and high performance CPU (core i7-920)
    -Comments Machine virtual WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) running on the same computer
    -Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4 GB of RAM, running Win7 x 64

    None of these machines are connected through Sync or something like that. The Firefox instance on the virtual machine is a fresh install / clean.

    The problem:
    -100% of cpu usage for 10 seconds, (util in XP) memory usage goes up to 1.7 GB
    -If "subject: House" is actually the Firefox Start Page, it blocks the computer at startup of Firefox for 10 seconds
    -If "subject: House" isn't the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" on the toolbar button it loads "on: House" which causes the same question once again

    Sounds that there is a problem with one of the code snippets that are responsible. I've seen several reports on this issue.

    You can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the subject: the page of config to disable loading (new) checked to see if that helps.

    You can open the topic: config page through the address bar

    You must remove the ' storage\moz-security-about + origin "folder in the folder of Firefox to delete already profile stored clips.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
