Windows 10: Memory and CPU spikes causing slow PC.

I purchased a pre-built PC in December that has been running seemingly well for the past few months, however, every-so-often I will get huge lag and stutter while playing both online and offline games, even when only navigating chrome or discord, and when I check task manager my CPU or Memory usage will be at around 97-100%.


The usual suspects at the top of the list are the service host tasks and I'm unsure on what to do to fix this. I have ran memory diagnostics, my windows is completely up to date, everything is disabled on start-up and I avoid running lots of applications at a time. Most of the time a simple restart will help but a few hours later my PC is back to being painfully slow.


Here is a screencap of my Task Manager after I rebooted just a few minutes ago.





Here is a screencap of my system information.





I am new to the whole PC game and greatly appreciate any and all help and advice!

services.exe CPU spikes caused by pc suite update

I have windows 2000 SP4 (yes, i know i need to upgrade). I recently got the update to PC Suite. I now have version 6.86.9.0

every minute or two, task manager shows a CPU spike to 100% that lasts about 3 seconds. the task is services.exe

naturally i started stopping services until the intermittent spikes stopped. the culprit? a service called 'ServiceLayer', which runs the NclUSBSrv.exe and NclRSSrv.exe processes.

as soon as i stopped it, the CPU lag spikes go away. after about an hour, it seemed to run fine, then i opened up nokia pc suite, it started the service again, and the CPU lag spikes came back.

obviously nokia processes are causing some problems, and it has something to do with a change in the last update.

nokia, can you please look into this or tell me how to fix?

thx.

CPU spikes 'System and compressed memory'

Hi,

I've recently been having issues with cpu usage spiking up to 90-100% every 1-2 mins, causing display and audio stuttering, and, in some cases, input lag. After watching the task manager, the issue sees to be caused by simultaneous spikes from 'System and
compressed memory', 'System interrupts' and 'Service Host: Local Service (No Impersonation)'. I have run a malware scan with no results. I am using an HP Envy with AMD A10-5750M APU.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

TiWorker.exe spikes in CPU usage and causes crash

I have done those, but I still have freezes and crashes. Doing the SFC /scannow resulted in a freeze in my computer. I believe the high CPU usage may be causing crashes. Would it not be possible for TiWorker to trigger a crash because of the massive spike
in CPU usage caused by it? These crashes and freezes have only occurred in the last few days, and it seems weird to only crash while TiWorker spikes in CPU usage
