• Explorer.exe takes more than 90% of the CPU when I opened start > menu programs

  IM using Vista Ultimate with Aero theme. I am a single user of this computer. When I open Start-> programs menu, an explorer.exe process takes 90% and more CPU resources and remains to be done (even if I don't move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard) until I close the menu programs. What continues?

  Hello Serresjio I can almost guarantee you that the troubleshooting steps will flip over as soon as you start back. my suggestion is if possible, remove the hard drive and the scanner on another computer with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast! Antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG etc. (all updates of course). usually, I use this method when everything has failed. Don't be too surprised boyfriend so often that I have a USB-(e sata, 1394, 2.5"/5.25 IDE) converter for the toughest jobs.

  Everything do you to not lose hope and format as most of the people do. I have corrected problems of windows than most irreparable thought technicians. It's just a matter of removing the cause and repair the damaged windows files. the problem can be solved the difficulty is just to use the proper tools/software. Lately I use Avast and MBAM with 100% recovery. It IS not JUST a single unrecoverable machine!

• High utilization of the processor for Taskmgr.exe (Vista)

  My HP laptop with Vista still seem to work at 20-30% cpu usage.
  I have disabled all unnecessary programs, hard drive and network are not accessible, internet security scans are disabled.
  The Task Manager and resource monitor shows what is Taskmgr.exe.  I have the gauge of cpu speed opened the box in the window.
  Memory usage is 50% of 3 GB.
  I have Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 installed and the operating system is set to do automatic updates.
  Is there a way to stop this use of unnecessary CPU by taskmgr?

  Taskmgr.exe should work only when the Task Manager interface is open.

• After the update to 15.0.1 Firefox open from C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

  After the 15.0.1 update this afternoon on a machine 64 - bit Windows 7, I restarted Firefox. Immediately liked began to display warnings that firefox.exe was not a recognized program and needed plugin container, the SVC host access and other things. Weird. So I look in the Comodo and Explorer and it says that the process runs from this path:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

  But there is no update file. This happens even when clicking on the firefox.exe file in the Mozilla Firefox folder.

  Is this normal? It does not seem right.

  Too bad. I restarted the computer and everything seems to be back to normal - firewall and the paths are now correct. Then. anyone having this problem - try to restart the machine. Never had that after a Firefox update before so don't think of him.

• AcroRd32.exe wrong version after update.

  Hello

  Does anyone know why the AcroRd32.exe has the version number of woring under properties when the update AdbeRdrUpd934_all_incr.msp? When checking the version under poperties for AcroRd32.exe after update, it always says that its 9.3.3.117 version, but when I launch the program and look at any player it says that the version is 9.3.4.218. Assistance dosent reboot.

  Hello

  I don't think AcroRd32.exe has been updated for Adobe Reader 9.3.4, therefore, the same version is the same as for the v9.3.3. If Abu Adobe Reader 9 splash screen is to display the version as 9.3.4, so I guess all is well on your side.

• Very strong downturn on T520 after update through the update of the TV system

  I recently updated a whole bunch of things on my T520 and subsequently experienced a significant slowdown in everything - just general startup but also working time. There is often a long latency when opening programs or documents, click right, etc. This framework appears to be due to higher CPU usage. While idling (i.e. just sitting on my desk) and Research Manager tasks, use the processor seems to be higher than normal on some things - SynTPEnh.exe will consume 3 to 8% of CPU, only one instance of svchost.exe will take up to 10%, etc.. My total CPU usage slowed down is usually 15 to 25% today. (I have a quad-core i7). In addition, my battery life has fallen sharply; It used to be more than 5 hours on a full charge when you just browse the web in general and processor, but now it's less than 2 hours.

  Circulating in the Task Manager and Process Explorer, I found a few things that seemed a bit unusual: my process many many page faults - a little less than 15 minutes after starting my computer, SynTPEnh.exe has about 250 000, SimpleTap.exe has more than 50,000, the instance of svchost.exe with the Base filtering engine, Services of diagnosis policy , and Windows Firewall has about 250 000, and Process Explorer itself has about 250 000. There were also a few items that seemed they could take more memory (private bytes, in Process Explorer) they should - dwm.exe use about 150 MB and SimpleTap.exe use about 115 MB. In addition, my percentage of CPU interrupts jumps around, most of the time stay between 2 to 5%.

  I don't know what pieces of it are indeed important, but certainly there was a very strong slowdown since the installation of the updates. I am pleased to provide you with any information that would be useful in dealing with this. Thank you!

  
  

• 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:

• Explorer.exe takes 100% of CPU

  Hello

  I have Windows Vista 32 Bit laptop computers of company with the following features:
  Core2Duo 2.0 Ghz
  2 GB OF RAM
  HARD drive of 160 GB (two equal respectively to 27, with 25 GB of free space on partitions C & D)
  256 MB ATI graphics card
  I have automatic updates of Windows, so my version is up-to-date. I use NOD 32 Antivirus (latest virus definitions)
  Since the last two days I noticed that my CPU usage is costantly 100% (even when the system is idle) and explorer.exe takes up most of the CPU (95-98%). So my laptop started running hot with the processor fans works at high speed. I have not installed new software recently. Can someone help me with the problem and bring down my CPU usage. I tried to change the parameters of the START property search (someone posted this solution on another forum), but with no improvement.

  Hello Design_engg,

  Try to start your system in safe mode:

  Restart your computer if it is running. Press and hold the F8 key for 3 seconds after your computer powers initially on. Once you see the menu Options advanced boot (or you hear a beep) you can stop. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection. Select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER. You should see drivers loading, it may take a few moments. You should then be at the Welcome screen. Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges. Now, you download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, Update then do a scan of your system in safe mode, to ensure that it is indeed clean! Once the scan done remove anything it finds. Simply restart your PC to see if your problem has been resolved! Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  Hello

  Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can you help an update or upgrade.

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

• Urgent: need help on problems on the iPhone after updating iOS 10 6s

  Hey there! It's my third post about the problems Ive been face on my devices after 10 updated iOS. Initially, after that I've updated, the music app was not running on my phone-all I could see was an empty screen and the APP crashed and I was redirected to the homepage in a few seconds. Tired to restart the phone, deleting and then adding the app back, nothing worked. Not at all. So I tried to restore my phone, save all content via icloud. Followed all the steps and after the restoration of the aircraft of other problems surfaced, BUT the music app still does not work.

  Now, not only the app does not work, I can no longer sync my iPhone with iTunes. Whenever I try, I get the following errors:

  (1) itunes cannot sync the iPhone connection has been reset

  (2) iTunes sync session could start.

  IF PLEASE NOTE, BEFOR RESTORE IPHONE I COULD ALWAYS SYNCHRONIZE WITH ITUNES EVEN AFTER IOS UPDATE 10 AND TRANSFER THE MUSIC ETC, BUT JUST COULDN'T NOT OPEN MUSIC APP TO PHONE-NOW I CAN'T DO EITHER!

  I have tried pretty much everything, restart both phone & iTunes, reset the network settings on my iphone, reset itunes sync history, by removing the lockdown folder, running iTunes as administrator on my PC, change my USB in corduroy, update iTunes, reinstall iTunes on PC-nothing seems to work AT ALL. And it's extremely frustrating. I can sync music/documents on my iPad after update of the device and the restaurant then (iPad also has major problems) and then play the music on it but just isn't my phone can be synchronized. It is a function important and if I can't synchronize my device is a sitting duck.

  The new update of iOS also gave my massive lag of phone. Screen freezes, apps for time-consuming, HDR photos take longer to be broken. It is just too heavy to wear.

  CCAN anyone help me please with my iTunes sync + music matters app... I really regret updating to the new iOS. Please help me.

  Thank you.

  PS apologies for this long post, I had to write everything I tried.

  If you are on Windows, uninstall iTunes, uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. Once both are uninstalled, reinstall itunes, see if it syncs with itunes then.
