I know this string is very old, but if others (like me) are searching for an
answer, I might have stumbled on one (after MONTHS of trying to fix my own
svchost.exe at 100% CPU usage. One of the techie websites suggested
downloading ProcessExplorer. This is a free microsoft-owned program and you
should be able to find it on the MS website if you do a search. By using
this program you can see exactly where each file/program (i.e. svchost.exe)
is, thereby making certain it is an actual Windows program and not a
virus/trojan/whatever. You can also pull up individual process information.
I pulled up the particular svchost.exe program that was using 97% CPU and
found that the actual "perpetrator" in my case was my Hewlett-Packard Digital
Imaging program. It was not a necessary program, so using ProcessExplorer I
simply stopped it, and my CPU went immediately to 4% and has not gone above
40% since. THANK GOODNESS! This was a horrible problem to solve and NO ONE
seems to know why it's happening. It seems to be a frequent problem with
users as well.
GOOD LUCK!!
