Re: svchost.exe - Using 100% of CPU after boot till I End Process

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


I ran Process Explorer and it showed the svchost.exe that was using up all
of the CPU was:

Windows\Sysem32\svchost.exe

HP Network Devices Support [HPSLPSVC] PID 1440 Generic Host Process for
Win32 Services. Like I mentioned, I think this may have something to do with
HP Printer software --- BUT HP HAS THEIR HEADS UP THE BUTTS WHEN YOU TRY AND
TELL THEM THAT THEIR SOFTWARE IS DOING THIS!! I Googled this CPU issue and
many people had similar issues (thinking that it may have something to do
with the HP Auto Update functions). Any thoughts, input, suggestions etc...
is appreciated. HP is of no help...even after 20+ hours of troubleshooting on
this.

Thanks again.

Thanks much. I am downloading Process Explorer. This should be helpful. I
have also noticed that alot of people who have recently installed their HP
All-In_one printer software are having similar issues. Looks like something
to do with the HP Update functions. I will see if I can identify the process
and pass along the info.

Regards.

To find out more about Svchost.exe entries try Process Explorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and 'Show Lower
Pane' options.
(This will provide some of the detailed info you may need)
Expand the Process tree until 'Services.exe' has been expanded.
Next move the mouse cursor over the Svchost.exe process that you are
interested in.
Or expand the Svchost entry if you see a + sign to the left of Svchost
entry.
(You should now see a pop up with a list of services associated with the
Svchost.exe you chose)
Next double click on the Svchost.exe process that you are interested in.
The 'Properties' Window should now be displayed with numerous tabs
available.

My svchost.exe is taking 100% of the CPU after boot. I'm lucky if I can
even
get into the Task Manager before my mouse freezes up with a nice little
beep
associated with the freeze. After numerous "slow" restarts, I can get into
the Task Manager and end the process > svchost.exe > SYSTEM and the
computer
will go back to a normal CPU and things work again.

I have read many different articles and many say to turn off Windows Auto
Update -- I have done this.

I use Spyware Doctor / AVG Free / XoftSpy -- I have tried disabling them
in
the start-up menu...that doesn't seem to help. Anyway, I'm stuck and
frustrated with the svchost.exe deal!!!

As an added FYI - svchost.exe is listed 12 times in my Task Manager (7
times
with the word SYSTEM by it -- 3 times with LOCAL SERVICE by it -- 2 times
with NETWORK SERVICE by it).


I did try and install WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and when I run it it
says "Install is not needed since WIndows Update Agent is already
installed."

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks much.
