  1. Service Host: ____ taking up way to much memory


    When i check task manager, i see a bunch of processes called "Service Host: " that are taking up my memory. They are using from 2 MB to 90 MB per service. When I restart my computer they calm down for a bit but the longer my computer is on, the more and more memory they start to take up. It gets to a point where when nothing is open on my computer, they take up 70-80% of my memory. I have 8 GB of RAM.

    :)

    Service Host: Local Service consuming all availible physical memory at login

    I have a laptop with 8.0 Gb of memory, but I have noticed after login while the desktop is loading up all the way the SVCHOST.exe entry for Local Service consumes almost all my memory available, growing to 4Gb in size. but after everything settles down,
    and everything is loaded up (startup programs, etc.) the size used by the process shrinks down to around 11.0 Mb. I have watched it during this activity and 7.9 Gb gets consumed in total before it starts to settle down. normal amount of memory consumed by
    the system (at idle on the desktop) is around 3.2 Gb with 4.6Gb available. Is it normal for so much memory to be consumed after logging into windows?

    Processes controlled by Service Host: Local Service

    COM+ Event System

    Connected Device Platform

    Diagnostic Service Host

    Function Discovery Provider Host

    Network List Service

    Network Store Interface Service

    Windows Font Cache Service

    Windows License Manager Service

    WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service

  3. Service Hosts taking more memory over time causing pc crash

    This issue occurred last night I didn't do or download anything it randomly happened out of the blue. I am not new to PC in fact I built and fixed multiple computers but this time it is out of my league and I need help on it. My computer will be fine for a little while but after a hour or 2 of use the memory usage will increase to the point that I can't even use the search bar on cortana. I pay attention to what is increasing it and it is the service hosts under my window processes. At the time of taking and making this post it is only at 90-100mb of memory usage but within the next half hour it will be at 400mb per service host rendering my computer useless until a hard reboot. Any ideas on how to fix this??

    Service Host: ____ taking up way to much memory

    Service Host memory leak?

    Hi,
    I'm new to win 10 and it is a grand adventure I have to say.
    Today I figured why my computer has been shutting down/lagging.

    The processes under Service Host (all of them) consume ungodly amount of ram, and they increase usage over time. The PC can idle and this will still happen to the point of running out of memory and eventually shutting down.

    Any remedy for this?
