Windows 10: 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 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?

 

Service Host Memory Leak Windows 10

Hi,

Recently my RAM has been getting used up by the 50 or so service host processes. I can see the processes slowly increase their memory usage over time. This is my task manger soon after startup, and then 40 minutes later, without running any applications.






After a few hours of this my applications start crashing until I restart my PC and repeat. I believe this started after I uninstalled the Avast antivirus in favor of windows.
