Windows 10 "Service Host: Local Service (No Network)" drains CPU constantly

I've had this problem for at least several months.
I noticed a lot of threads without a happy ending:

1. High CPU Usage from "Service Host: Local Service [...]
   
2. Service Host: Local Service (No Network) (3) and Service Host: Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) causing High CPU
   
3. svchost.exe Service Host: Local Service (No Network) - Permanent CPU usage
   
4. service host: Local Service (No Network) (5) taking up all my CPU resources (i5-4690k)
   

And I did try all the suggestions made in these threads including:

1. Updating the windows to the latest version
   
2. Troubleshoot network, update, etc
   
3. killing all other software, changing MSISUPPORTED of my SSD disk in regedit etc.
   

One thing I noticed is that the problem disappears in safemode.

 

Suspicious activity and lots of svchost tasks

Hello Danny,

Service Host is a system process that hosts multiple Windows services in the operating system.
Svchost is essential in the implementation of so-called shared service processes, where a number of services can share a process in order to reduce resource consumption.

If you want to stop it, you can follow these steps:

• Click on Start, type Run and then type in
  services.msc.
• Find the svchost service and select
  Properties.
• Select Disabled from the Startup type box.
• Reboot computer.

You can also try this in safe mode.

Should you need further assistance, feel free to reply to this post.
