svchost.exe

[muffinpie]

When i start up my computer i have to launch task manager instantly because otherwise i cant open any programs because of the high cpu useage but when i end the svc host i cant play any sound and it turns my windows xp visual to classic windows and makes my start bar down to the height of one bar as i have it three bars high so does anybody know what svc host is or how to sort this problem?

Thanks in advance

svchost.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft Service Host Process. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

Thanks for that but do you know how to fix this?

If you have AVG, that uses high CPU if you set it to auto scan on start up.

Screenshot all processes and paste here.

My avg doesnt auto scan and everything else runs fine and i can see that svchost.exe is running at 90% +

Screenshot it, would be able to see if it's certainly causing the problem.

Very. Now go and delete it. Solves all your problems. This one time, my computer grew an arm and started hitting me, every time I went to sit down near it to type. I deleted kernell32.dll and it fixed it.
