  1. Service host using too much bandwidth


    Hello,

    Recently my pc has started using anywhere from 0.5 mbps to 1.0 mbps on “Service Host: Network Service”. To many people this wouldn’t be an issue but that is a lot of usage for my internet as I am lucky to get a total of 3 mbps. This hasn’t been an issue until recently and I was hoping someone could help me.

  2. Windows 10, new computer, Service Host: Local System uses all household bandwidth for minutes at a time

    Hi

    I just purchased a new computer. It sits on a 1.5 MBPS DSL line, unfortunately. Every so often, the Service Host: Local System uses the entire bandwidth of the household for minutes at a time (10-45 minutes). As BulldogXX pointed out, Service Host is
    a shell. When I expand it, the resource monitor does not indicate what sub-process is using the bandwidth. Is there a way to determine the offending sub-process? Is there a way to throttle the bandwidth Service Host uses to enable the network to be used
    for other things? Or is there a way to suspect Service Host until a more convenient time? OR is there a way to schedule it to run at a more convenient time?

    Any suggestions are appreciated,

    Patrick

    service host consumes all of my bandwidth

    Hello,

    My internet is running slow because the service host consumes all of my bandwidth. I have tried disabling background intelligent transfer service, I also tried to download and install feature update to windows 10 1703. The download
    was finished but the installation keeps on failing. Please help thank you.

    Service host using too much bandwidth

    Service Host doesn't use any bandwidth. As the name implies, it's merely a host for other services. Similarly, if your house guest takes long showers, you as the host are not to blame for the shortage of hot water.

    You need to determine what services are being hosted and which one of those services is hogging bandwidth. Let's hope it isn't malware.

    Also, to be honest, 1.5 MB/sec of bandwidth is going to make Windows (or MacOS) a frustrating experience. Were I in the same position I would prefer a tablet with Android or iOS. Those operating systems, and the apps they run, are optimized for low bandwidth
    applications.
