Windows 10: Just woke up this morning to Service Host 95% using RAM

I noticed since the last update Service Host - Windows Update would start using quite a high % of my ram but paid no mind to it. Woke up this morning to it reaching 94% so I immediately ended the task.

Is there a memory leak in the latest update? Should I not have ended the task?

16gb of ram btw

Service Host Applications are taking up every bit of my RAM

I have 16GB of memory installed in my system and there are an ungodly amount of Service Host Applications that appear in task manager that are taking up almost constantly 95% of my RAM. I get that it is a feature in newer Windows 10, but I would like to
be able to play a game without it freezing every 4 seconds because I am out of RAM.

 

started downloading Windows 10 this morning and 95% of it was completed but then error occurred.

Browser /connection security, hosts file and DNS service

You're saying that Open DNS(and other services like it) house their own list of known 'bad' sites, and by using their DNS servers, it will filter out sites based on that list?

Would you believe I was already using Open DNS servers.
This means the hosts file is moot?

And furthering that, if there's any bespoke sites I want to manually add, I could do it through my router directly.

Thus I can empty my local hosts file and turn my DNS service back on?
