Windows 10: service host: local service

My Lenovo laptop is running slowly because of Service host: local network.


Is there any way of removing these to allow the laptop to run more quickly?

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?

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.
