[EDIT]: I fixed my problem another way, apparently somehow a
rootkit was causing the problem?
It started out as a problem with all regular google sites, ads and ser-
vices not being able to be displayed on my browser.
I searched the web for answers and found that someone else had
the exact same problem and used a combination of Rkill and TDSKill
executable programs to stop malware processes and remove rootk-
its. I never thought of this before because i had no idea what a
rootkit was.
After rebooting google worked fine and i found that the particular
service host.exe file that had been causing me so much trouble was

Abnormally high CPU usage from svchost.exe [SOLVED] - Microsoft... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-perf...
Answer
There are ways to find out which services are hogging the resources.
Take a look at the guide below...
You are no doubt reading this article because you are wondering
why on earth there are nearly a dozen processes running with the
namesvchost.exe. You cant kill them, and you dont remember
starting them so what are they?
So What Is It?
According to Microsoft: svchost.exe is a generic host process name
for services that run from dynamic-link libraries. Could we have
that in english please?
Some time ago, Microsoft started moving all of the functionality
from internal Windows services into .dll files instead of .exe files.
From a programming perspective this makes more sense for
reusability but the problem is that you cant launch a .dll file di-
rectly from Windows, it has to be loaded up from a running exe-
cutable (.exe). Thus the svchost.exe process was born.

The problem with using the command line method is that you dont
necessarily know what these cryptic names refer to.

This will flip over to the Services tab, where the services running un-
der that svchost.exe process will be selected:
The great thing about doing it this way is that you can see the real
name under the Description column, so you can choose to disable
the service if you dont want it running.

Change the Startup Type to Disabled, and then click the Stop button
to immediately stop it.
You could also use the command prompt to disable the service if
you choose. In this command trkwks is the Service name from the
above dialog, but if you go back to the tasklist command at the be-
ginning of this article youll notice you can find it there as well.

Hi Leah, I have the same problem, too and my teacher said it might
be caused by viruses or malwares or rootkits... I have so much trou-
ble with my laptop because it is too slow. Could you give me the

I thought, It's not like windows to have an auto update software that
would be causing me another 15 degrees and 15% on my machine,
:P
The problem for me with windows 8.1 was that the svchost.exe for
windows update is also linked with Superfetch, which is linked to
the Microsoft App Store.
So windows was trying to auto search for updates of my apps and
Regular windows updates, Trying to auto install them, and sending
notifications of this, and a 0.001 interval.

never mind! This worked for a while but then came the problem
:(

I observed this without installing any software between July and Oc-
tober... killing the svchost.exe twice brought up a windows message
"check your update settings". So it was related to update check or
whatsoever.
