WksCal.exe using 50% CPU

Overview of resources shows that WksCal.exe uses 50% of the CPU resource. For a feature that I even don't use it seems to be down. I know that I can turn it off, but I'm more interested to know if this is an indication of other problems.

Hello RobtC,

Thank you for posting.
wkscal.exe process is the civilian component of MsWorks. It works similar to a traditional calendar, which allows you to schedule meetings and set reminders etc. If you find useful MsWorks calendar, you must leave the wkscal.exe running process.

My theory as to why it would be to use 50% CPU, is that it could be synchonizing with a mobile device as in the link here

Please let me know if this has been helpful for you.

  • Satellite M30x-165 - rundll 32 exe using 99% CPU

    tasks manager told me that rundll 32 exe using 99% of my CPU. (The computer is a M30 X 165) What does that mean? What I have to change that and how do I do this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Anurakta,

    Rundll32.exe is a Windows system file, but it can also be associated with the Whisper B virus.

    I expect not to be almost all of your central unit using this way. I suggest that you run a full scan on your system.

  • Explorer.exe using 50% CPU

    My Vista has suddenly become almost unusable.  Task Manager shows explorer.exe uses 50% of the CPU.  I rebooted a couple of times.  If I use the Task Manager to kill him I can run programs using the application tab.  The computer works well without exploring. But then I don't have a task bar so I hope it's temporary.  I ran the windows malicioussoftwqare removeal tool - who found nothing.  The program is c:\windows\explorer.exe.

    Does anyone know the solution?

    Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

    You can use Process Explorer from Sysinternals to check the stack of the thread using the most CPU in the explorer.exe process, when you experience the behavior.  When Explorer uses the CPU as you have indicated, double-click the process in Process Explorer and go to the tab of the Threads.  Sort the list of threads by Cycles Delta (descending) and note the thread at the top. Double-click it and discovered its stack. Look for third-party modules (extensions of shell or modules, AV software, etc.) in the stack.  Disable (Autoruns or ShellExView, maybe) / uninstall these components, reboot and see if the behavior is affected.
  • SearchFilterHost.exe using 50% + cpu - not a new computer power

    Since yesterday SearchFilterHost.exe uses 50%-90% of my cpu power. I had the current installation of windows on this computer since a year or two ago and the temptation of power today my hard drive.  I tried stopping the service, but he returned after about a minute of it being stopped. This makes it difficult to make my computer work correctly.

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    SearchFilterHost.exe is the process of Windows search. He is involved in indexing, caching, etc.

    Method 1: Disable it. File extension XML to be indexed in Indexing Options and check if the problem is resolved.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/improve-Windows-searches-using-the-index-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2: Run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner to eliminate any virus/malware problem.
     
    Note:
    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • SVCHOST. EXE using 100% CPU

    I have a Pentium (R) 4 CUP 2.4 GHz running Windows XP Home Service Pack 3 5.1.

    In the last month, I updated my virus software - ZoneAlarm - and downloaded Google Earth.   Meanwhile, there was also many windows updates automatic including IE8.   Since the download of the update to ZoneAlarm I have the BSOD a few times (the BSOD said ' corrupted driver MMMPOOL or similar) but after reboot it was fine.

    We had a few fluctuations in power a couple of days but the computer is connected to the battery of emergency relief so has been closed properly.   When the power was restored properly the computer started and the BSOD came once again.  You had to reboot a few times in safe mode, and then selecting the option "last settings that worked.  Since then, every restart was fine (no BSOD).

    I ran a full scan, update ZoneAlarm for updates.   It is a Trojan horse that he deleted on reboot.  However, everything was very slow and firefox who previously worked very well kept freezing.  Outlook Express has been extremely slow.   IE8 was still slower than firefox.   I've updated to the latest version of Firefox, but no improvement, or worse!

    The Task Manager showed the CPU usage to 100%.

    Then I ran a CHKDSK and defrag because it had not been for some time.

    After that, the CPU usage is 100% yet once (I dunno what I used to take me to check this again.)  A SVCHOST. EXE program was the culprit to 99.   I finished the program and it came with a warning message indicating the process server Launcher DCOM had been canceled and the system has been restarted.   The PID of this program was 868.

    After a reboot, it seemed better.  I used Outlook Express OK, but as soon as I launched a browser, the CPU usage went straight to 100%.   Even if I close the browser, he remained at 100% and has remained there since.

    Online access is practically impossible on this computer, I use another computer to get help!

    Advice would be welcome.    Please note that I'm not terribly computer advice should be simple and basic English.  TIA.

    Remove the Trojan from your computer, it is stiil in your computer.
    Your computer will work normally.
    Your alarm zone anti virus program or fire wall only? or both?
    If you analyze the pc and the answer no viruses not detected.
    I swuggest you use another antivirus program by stopping zoenalarm temperory or delete, in mind that 2 anti programs antivirus at the same time on the pc will be a conflict, so you should disabel or one of them or remove.
     
    1. right click on the my computer icon go to System Restore then put a tik on judgment system for all stations restore, apply, then ok.
    2. complete the system scan and remove Trojan horse if you can find or put a carentien if you don't know what to do.
    3. restart the computer and see if it works properly and also run full system scan new .If it is clean your pc is now 100% clean of the Trojan horse.
    4 after 1 or 2 days also scan your computer and then repeat step no.1 again by going to the system restore and yesterday to cancel the tik put you on the restoration of the system shutdown for all stations, apply, then ok.

    Good luck

  • Iexplore.exe - USE HIGH CPU - 50% (dual processor) - Windows Vista Home Premium

    Help, please!

    My HP dv9000 is slow.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT INFO YOU NEED ME!  In the Task Manager, under the terms of 'process', it indicates that there are FOUR INSTANCES of internet explorer running, but I only have one window open (with a tab).  I hear my hard drive constantly running and it drives me crazy (and make me cry for my poor computer).  The 4 iexplore.exe (IE8) use respectively 110 000 - 82 300-78 000 - and 8000 K.  Is this normal?

    I don't know if we are more concerned by the "CPU" column or in the column "memory (private beach).  In the CPU column, HP Digital Imaging Monitor uses 50.  Is this normal?

    Please, I just want my computer to be able to relax.  I'm afraid it's going to explode (not literally, but that's what it looks like!).

    Thank you

    Hello Elizzee,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems you might have a form of hard-ware on your computer.  I have a useful link to a scan of the free system for viruses, malware and spyware listed below.

    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

    You can also do a full scan with your antivirus program on your computer installing later.

  • (fontcache) Svchost.exe using 99% cpu

    Hi, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. Randomly, the svchost.exe (fontcache) service will start using 99% of my cpu, everything a lot. Specifically, it starts happening when I play Team Fortress 2, but it also happens while I play the game. During a match, making the game lag, giving me a very large ping 2000ms + and no fps. If I end the process, it stops and is fine. But it could be the cause?

    Common programs, I have running at all times are as follows:

    AVG anti-virus

    Pidgin (AIM client)

    Skype

    Google chrome

    Windows media player

    Any help would be great, it becomes annoying random having my computer be bogged down for no reason. Let me know if you need more information

    Thank you, xJedix

    Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions.  Actually, I found another person who had this problem.  Their solution was to remove the additions of the shell that nvidia added to when you right-click on the desktop and things.  This has solved the problem, at least until now...  It's 3 days now without problem and also fixed my problem Explorer.exe crashing several times when I was reviewing the files :)

    If anyone is wondering how to disable programs that have been added to the hull, use shexview.

  • TosBtProc.exe using 100% CPU

    I have a Tecra with built-in Bluetooth 9100, running Windows XP SP2 however, everytime I turn on the bluetooth, using the system tray icon the TosBtProc process starts to use 100% of my CPU and pipes of my machine unless I kill the process.

    This problem was happening before that I updated to SP2, I tried upgrading to the latest v3.20.01 Bluetooth Stack but that made no difference.

    As a result, I can't connect my Bluetooth phone to my PC.

    Does anyone have ideas, what is the problem?

    Hello

    It's very strange. I have Tecra M1 and it resembles your T9100. I tried to go wireless and Bluetooth connection, but everything works fine. Can you please try the same thing using FN + F8? Use just the Bluetooth wireless as there is option that allows connections on the same time.

  • Explorer.exe using 20% + cpu

    After long hours of game explorer.exe will take up to almost 1 CPU to itself. When I look in the process monitor it sems to read the same file over and over again. The file name is atiumd.cap.

    This file seems to be related to the ATI Catalyst driver. It may be interesting to try different versions of the driver.

    Hi team,

    In one of our Production Server is a process called "svctimesag.exe" using high CPU. This problem has been detected the day before.

    For immediate solution, we killed the process, but it did not help, then you need to restart our server.

    In the past 24 hours this process has shoot to the top of the CPU twice and you need to restart the server with force.

    Also searched the Internet but found no information. The location of the file on the server is C:\Program Files (x86)\Products\svctimesag\svctimesag.exe

    We organize engine on the server management application. We also opened the case with them to know the process.

    If any user face any problem with that part of process please your valuable troubleshooting strike.

  • Svchost.exe (netsvcs) 100% cpu - update of Windows *.256 cause - update forever checks as does Defender.

    Hi, I got 100% usage cpu choking my system Toshiba laptop L300 Vista 32-bit, cause - (netsvcs) svhost.exe in time real trouble was unknown and tried everything has failed. So I did a complete new installation and fully updated to SP2 then the next update and it required me to download the latest update to terminant.256. My system is now unusable with constantly check and update svchost.exe using 100% cpu. All is well until I start to WU and I restore prior to this Windows Update Agent... Also if I close just the update it is still short in the background using 100% cpu by svchost.exe (ntsvcs) until I have manually stop the service.

    I have:

    Disabled Windows Firewall and Avast antivirus.

    I tried all the things as well in safe mode.

    Installed costs.

    Followed the instructions found on the net

    In offline mode, downloaded and installed the latest update which is the same as that.

    Whenever I have restore before this update, it works very well. The download of the update even if I have restore and install only the off-line version, it cripples even with 100% cpu and without end of audit. He made also Defender without end of audit.

    How to fix something that is a solid wall. You cannot uninstall or go around it. If I restore before it, that's all I can ever be updated Vista.

    I admit, I'm going nuts with this thing. I can't be the only one, it is 100% Windows update agent question.

    They have started to issue updates, default update clients cannot manage. Under Vista, install all the missing updates listed in the table above to this page:

  • svhost.exe causing 100 cpu

    My computer is running at a snail pace because the svchost.exe uses 100% cpu ALL the time.  It's almost impossible to open and close programs.  I'm only able to use my computer if I stop the process through the Task Manager.  I would like to find a fix for this if possibel so I didn't complete the process each time I want to use the computer. O running all tests antivirus and registery scans I can think.  I thought it must be some kind of virus, but I can't find anything.  Help, please!

    You can determine exactly what causes most of the problems by following the steps below:

    Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Method 2: Clean boot

    If the problem is not repeated in safe mode, there is probably a startup item or service is causing the problem. Follow the steps on the following link to locate the item or service responsible for the error:

  • wifitask.exe causing 100% CPU use

    I use Windows 10 and realized that my computer is very slow. I tried to use flash for a meeting and it was so slow it wouldn't load. I checked Task Manager and noticed that my CPU is at 100% usage. I ended up most processes that were not required to run windows nothing helped, but when I closed wifitask.exe, the CPU would go from 30 to 80%. However, after a short time, wifitask.exe causes somehow himself to run and CPU usage was 100%. What exactly does wifitask.exe do? I can remove it or do I have to reinstall something? I also noticed that svchost.exe and lsass.exe use about 25% CPU each but what I've seen, that's normal? wifitask.exe shows that it only uses about 15%, but it's the only thing that removes the CPU usage when I finish it.

    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I have worked on this all night and to meet soon. Thanks in advance.

    Defender (MSE) is by far the cause.  It is using 45 + % CPU and is also the largest process of writing the disk.  Because it is part of the OS, you can not uninstall & re-install so your options are limited.  You can install an app different malware that automatically turn off MSE

    There is evidence (on earlier systems) that restricting directories Defender scans can reduce this effect, but I can't find any reference to win 10.

    If you decide to change applications malware ESET (eset smart security) and AVG seems to work without any problem in 10122
