So many svc host processes running

Hi, I know there are a lot of posts on this but none of them really make any sense to me. My laptop is about a month old, 8GB RAM

and 2TB hard drive and running windows 10. I have very little software other than the essentials that I need installed; Adobe Creative Suite (4 programs) VLC, AVG antivirus and CCleaner.

Every time I use the laptop it lags like freewheeling uphill. After checking task manager the amount of
service host processes running is ridiculous and causing anywhere between 90-100% CPU, which is just insane. I know that various programs and instances all get separated out to an individual
service host to help avoid bringing the whole system down; but ironically having this many processes running brings the whole system down!

I've hunted through post after post and used process explorer as suggested to see what process each
service host is pertaining to...I can then decide which to kill. That would be great if I has a programmer and worked for Microsoft and was able to decipher the names of processes. I mean, how is anyone supposed to guess as to whether or not
shellexperiencehost.exe or settingsynchhost.exe are safe to kill? Yes I can google those but with 20-30 processes running surely there's an easier way to sort this out?

I don't have any of these issues on my other two (older) machines, running the same OS and software. No malware or viruses found. And microsoft, no...3rd party antivirus isn't the issue and that kind of nonsense isn't going to get brainwash me to using exclusively
Microsoft products.

I've attached a screenshot of task manager to show the ridiculous number of
service host processes running...i think they're breeding!

 

Can i close svc host?

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

It is not recommended to close the Service Host (svchost.exe) process. This process is a system process that is responsible for running multiple services on Windows. These services are essential for the proper functioning of the operating system and shutting them down may cause unexpected behavior or even system instability. If you are experiencing high CPU usage caused by the Service Host process, it is better to investigate which specific service or services are causing the issue and address it that way, rather than simply closing the process.

May I know the reason you want to close SVC host?

Will wait for your response.

Thank you.
