    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!

    SVC Host Problem

    Hi,
    Started having problems with Windows 10, every time after I shut my computer down, the SVC Host says it is shutting down programs in the background. Then when I reboot it a lot of programs will not work, so each time I use "reimage", software to repair it.
    Any ideas what I need to do, other than re install the OS
    Thanks and Regards
    Bob

    svc host process

    Driver host process timeout.

    Hi,

    The default timeout interval for the Driver host process is 60 seconds. If the driver couldn't respond as expected within this period, it's possible that the driver is outdated or incompatible with the operating system. We'll be able to provide the appropriate
    steps to resolve the timeout error once we have more information, so please answer these questions:

    • Just to confirm, did this error only happen after you installed Fall Creators Update?
    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Did you encounter this error while your computer was idle, or were you using a specific program?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
