What is the process taking your CPU power?...Just look at the Task Manager & tell us ?

[Vision5]

it is called svchost.exe

What are you talking about Please tell detail

[Vision5]

The svchost.exe is under my processes tab in the task manager. Im not sure what it does or where it came from but i think it might have something to do with a windows update problem.

Svchost.exe is a process that runs services. Multiple services can be run by each instance of svchost.exe and there are multiple instances of svchost.exe running, so Task Manager isn't very helpful.

You can use Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx which is like Task Manager on steroids. It will display a tree view of running processes, and within svchost.exe what services are being run. You can sort by CPU usage and it can be configured to show which service being run by svchost.exe is using the CPU time.

Yes i have heard about the Process Explorer and i downloaded it but im not really sure how to use it. Is there any way to stop this process from using so much of the CPU without stopping anything vital to windows?

In Process Explorer, select menu item View, then Select Columns then checkmark CommandLine. This will show you what command is actually being executed by svchost. Copy the command line of the one that is running at 70% CPU and paste it here. Lets see if we have that command running too.

ok so i check marked the box in front of command line but im kinda lost after that what do u want me to do after that?

[lunarlander]

In the main window where it lists all the programs running, find the one that is running at 70% and copy down the command line, then give it to us.
