Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Indiana Bones. It has been running fine lately with no issues whatsoever. This morning I booted up as normal. I noticed the familar Microsoft Update "yellow shield" in the lower right part of the task bar.
It never got above zero nor could I open the update window. I closed everything and shut down and restarted. After the restart thinking that it was a Windows Update issue I went to the Microsoft Windows Update site and clicked on "Express" updates in an attempt to update manually.

And by switching to a static IP, worked for me. It worked. I though that perhaps some dll used be the wireless could be the culpid.
I then disabled to avoid IP confits the LAN connection and set the wireless network connection to the same static IP to keep things conbstant and again it worked. No extra CPU time, or memory consumed by svchost. Saturday, May 17, AM. Tuesday, September 2, PM. Saturday, October 18, AM.

Wednesday, November 26, PM. First make a unique copy of svchost. I had the same problem as the original poster. Stops when DHCP is stopped. I only realized it was happening when I noticed the light on the router constantly flashing one night.
I could not pin down when it had started. After alot of hair pulling and net searching I came across this forum which gave me some more to think about. I downloaded the microsoft Process Explorer. Double clicking on the svchost which was consuming memory, showed the properties page. Clicking on the Threads tab brought up some dlls which flashed up as being active. One of which was the wbemcore. Then I remembered I had activated Universal Plug N Play while playing around with network services some months earlier.
The solution for me was to goto "Add and remove windows components"-"Network services"- then un-tick "Internet Gateway device discovery and control client". This stopped the annoying router flashing problem for me. Tuesday, February 3, AM. I have been having the same problem for quite some time myself. But, I was having the problem before I installed SP3; however, it's gotten worse since.
In fact, the only reason I finally installed SP 3 was because I was hoping that it would correct the problem--instead, it got worse. I had THE problem with svchost. But as soon as i started Firefox, svchost. What should i do????? Start 2. Run 3. Look where is located in command box. Go to that location 8.
Delete this file. Even with hidden files and folders showing, and system files not hidden. Not sure how to remove this, that will be my next step. Thanks for the help, and best of luck to all strugling with this.
I have svchost. The exception illegal instruction An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction. Have been suffering from a slow and freezing machine for a time.
Using Windows XP serv pack 2. Tried all tricks and advices but to no avail. The F-secure is known to be a very heavy program,eating sometimes all of the computer resources. I had this problem on my computer and I tried everything here with no success. I honestly believe it is a trojan or some sort of virus running in the backround that is hidden by a rootkit.
When I tried to kill it my computer would shut down. I found a solution but I do not know if it is a permenant one as it may come back when I turn the computer off and back on. Here you will get another list of options. You hit the recovery option. Here you will see a list of what to do if the service is interrupted. Currently it should say to shut down computer or restart. Restart your computer and when you notice the slowness again simply open the processor tab and kill the svchost that is causing it.
It should not shut down the computer this time and your speed should be back to normal. In the meantime if the problem comes back after shutting off and restarting you can apply it again. In the meantime try to search for the backround program that may be causing it because norton antivirus is not detecting anything for me. But I am certain it is a malware or other infectious problem. EXE which I have found in start up programs. Deano out!!
Post 27 solve my problem! Charls you are a great person, posting your solution here helped me cure my headache with this annoying prooblem!!! If this is happening to anybody now, it is very likely to be the nasty piece of malware netuza I also had browsers disappearing at one stage although they were still there after digging around.
All because I clicked on a link to watch a free movie online. I have the same problem. I am certain it happened after installing my new HP Printer Wide I tried uninstalling and my memory utilization went down. Now I need the printer working so I have to deal with this. Any solution is Welcome.
None of this worked for me…. It found quite a lot the first time through and I ran it a second time for good measure. Everything is back to normal this morning…maybe this will help if none of the other recommendations are working for some poor soul out there! Try downloading avast 5 and install it and then run a full scan it should remove every kind of virus or trojen in your computer. It fixed the svchost.
Try it!!!! It never fails. Here is another solution. I have 16 things running at startup and auto updates off because your a fool to leave it on. You need a service pack? Go and download it. Everyone thinks that they have to update things constantly. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I agree with you Avatar. Toon 33, you rock!!! Nope, just my piece of crap HP all in one wireless unit. Honestly, this is the last HP I will buy as they seem to cause nothing but heartache.
I had tried everythung, nothing worked. I strongly recommended everyone to try this. Thanks for this, helped me fix a computer I was working on for a couple days. It was frustrating me to no end, glad to have it done. Thank you very much. The other files were included in the SP3 so were out dated and not necessary. I have defragged, cleared memory, and ran Spybot to catch any problems.
Do you have anything you can add. Thanks, Steve Ferrerio. Really appriciate the fix. Excelente me sirvio para areglar el problema con svchost. Muchas gracias. It slows down, almost freezes if I leave it open and do not work on it for some time. Then I have just restart PS and it would work fine again. Thank you for the information on the 3 files and instructions to fix the svchost problem.
This post is excellent with many solutions. Once this was disabled the svchost. All working perfectly now. I ran the 3 steps in order. The first one ran as explained above. With great apprehension, I rebooted expecting svchost to still be eating up the cpu cycles. Surprise, surprise… svchost is now behaving as it should.
I jumped the gun with my praise. I have 18 svchost. Should I delete them all? Or which ones should I delete? Could you help me please? Thank you for manual. If someone have no time to do this operation u can kill svchost. This happens a lot with common processes like svchost.
Where to start? This is a really great post. It also seems to raise a lot of questions. The techies may want to skip this, but for those contributors who are trying to understand little better, this will hopefully help.
First about , things can hog resources and slow a computer down. Second, System Idle Process is not one of problems. It simply represents the percentage of time the cpu is waiting for something to do — pretty impressive how much the processor is just sitting around waiting — huh?
Third svchost does not, in itself, use much memory, power, or do much. It simply acts as a container for other applets or services, keeping them avaiable for windows or other programs whenever they are needed — hence service host. It can hold one or more applets and some of the various applets will be in different containers. Some one or more of those applets usually. To see the candidates, in taskmanager, click view and then select columns.
Tic PID and anything else you may be curious about. Note the PID of the high usage svchost. The svchost with the same PID will list your candidates. The fixes are elsewhere in this post. Next, this post has been running for three years now and — wonders of wonders — Microsoft has actually already made the two executables unnecessary after SP3. As to the. You can read it by right clicking, and selecting edit. The regsvr32 lines simply make those services available to windows.
It does not cause them to run — just lets windows know they are there. It then deletes windows temporary files, hides from windows the catroot2 fie by renaming it, stops windows update from running, deletes some old data so it can get updated, makes some other services available and restarts windows update. I tried all the above. Finally what worked was creating a new user account, then deleting the old. I am sure I have exactly the problem described at top, as well as the symptom of a hang at the microsoft update site when checking for updates, but the fix did not work, regrettably!
THe pc seemed ok but as soon as I turned on automatic updates the memory taken up by the wuauclt and svchost processes started piling up again, slowly at first and then with ever increasing speed. So I had to turn off auto update again. I have however been able to disable the microsoft update software and use the windows update site successfully at least.
THis prompted downlaod of teh validation tool and then two security pdates and a malicious software removal tool, nothing major. I would like to try some of the other suggestions in this thread but not all of them make reference to the wuauclt. If I leave auto update turned off things seem under control, I wil risk turning it on again and report back.
A ttime of writing wuauclt has actually disappeared from the processes list entirely of its own accord!!! Well I think the problem is solved for me now.
Hi, I tried it. It worked terrific — for a while. Then after 15 minutes or so, it starts choking up the memory like before, slowing the system especially the browser.
Any alternative, please because it is affecting everything I do with the computer. Both had the exact same issue. Hi Bruce. Just wanted to say thank you very much for your clear concise and easy to use instructions to fix this problem.
When I ran your procedure I found two of the files were already loaded but the. I guess? I also experienced the wuauclt. However, since fixing the svchost problem there now appears to be no compatibility problem between wuauclt. I guess only people whom their computer crashes all the time, need to go to safe mode. The batch file step 6 ran and the svchost problem appears to be solved. What the hell? Ok, I downloaded the bat file correctly. Any ideas people? Now it is a bat-file.
As far as the install is concerned, you do need to have Administrator rights. Did you log in as Administrator? Try this, go to start, run, type in services. Look for dns client. Disable it. This seems to be caused by a host file that is larger than normal, which is caused by anti-spyware software like Spybot Search and Destroy and others that use HOST entries to block harmful sights.
At least that is what I have found to be the problem in every XP machine that has a large host file and is running the DNS client service.
It works fine here!! Just ran the script and it came back to work properly! Any suggestions?? Anxious, now, to give it a quick try…I just love learing something new. Thanks for the hints and Good luck! However, the two Microsoft programs, the patch and the updates downloads, did nothing because my computer told me they had already been installed, and gave me no option to install them anyway or override those previously existing.
Is there some way to force these to install, or is that even necessary at this point? Needless to say, the problem still annoyingly persists, and my laptop seems to run slower than ever.
So what can we do with Vista? I think a KB…had something to do with this as 3 months ago I never had this problem. Now it is non-stop! My computer has been running flawlessly for the past 10 minutes and there is no sign of trouble. Thank you Mr. Whitty and good luck everybody! This fix worked like a champ!! Again thank you whoever came up with the fix.
Suggestion from Charles Rippert worked liked charm, but now sure what will be other impact of removing that value. I am having a similar problem under XPx Is there a work around for 64 bit?
I tried your fix but the programs would not run under my operating system. Thanks, Ken. Ok, about 2 weeks ago I followed these directions and it seemed to have cleared it up for about 2 days, the svchost. So, what I did was open up my task manager to make sure it was still high usage, adjusted the priority to low, then click on my other svchost.
I did a search on svchost. I clicked yes, odd thing is, the file never went away but it did disappear once I rebooted it must have fixed it because after I rebooted my laptop has been running like the day I bought it. I am running on windows 7 and this problem occurs to me. This solved it for months then it suddenly started again a few weeks back. As previously noted in post there can be any number of reasons for the problem. Do they offer a customer caring cost sharing option — no way.
I will never buy HP again! I tell every one I meet in stores browsing their wares! I tell the store geeks as well — and it is amazing how many have had a similar experience and still sell the kit to unsuspecting joe-public. At the time of writing there are posts and counting and I am sure there will be more valuable input to come. Keep it going please; I have put you in my favourites.
Therefore, updating software definitions and then running complete scans to eliminate any problems is important. If you guys encounter an error or a problem with this file, it would be wise to run an svchost troubleshooting scanner to make thing easier.
Hi Jim. It came as a text file for me too. Tried to do restore from a back-up from a partition from my drive. I have tried this solution, but it came up with a problem. After that I change my standard dutch language into English and reboot, but it refuse to update.
What can I do to fix this? The fix svchost batch file seems to have done the trick! I did not use either of the other files because my computer told me that updates installed on it were more recent. So the problem came back yesterday.
I tried the solution offered in response 27 and it seems to have gone away entirely! In fact, any attempt to update Windows results in the error message, including trying to download Update v3 that you give in your first step of the fix. So I brought my PC back up. Will try this for a couple days and see if the fix holds! James from Oct 29th… I wish I knew the answer, as I am having the exact same problem. If someone can help, please reply. Hope you are still monitoring these posts!

Hi, i really love this article cuz i have been search for a solution to this problem lately……. Ive had this problem over 18 months. Def was caused my automatic updates since when i stopped it in services, cpu instantly went back to normal. Heres how finally I fixed it…. Step2: Download service pack 3 from microsofts website if you already have a copy, you can use that, no need to re download.
AS described before, deselect the ones you dont want if you didnt leave it set on automatic choose custom instead of express if you need to deselect the WGA tools. Thanks Toon Schilder post Saved my time with just a few clicks.
Just wanted to say thanks for your svchost. No noticeable side-effects as yet. I had this same problem. It was due to McAfee virus scan starting soon after system boot everytime. I had to kill the svchost because it took up all the CPU time. I found another solution later. It disables the virus scan , but atleast you can use your system!
