Windows 10: SVCHOST eating up memory

What services of svchost should I disable? I think it's eating up my memory. I think if the computer has 2GB RAM, it should have only like 30-40% usage but I have 63%

Windows 10 BSOD on shutdown or after long usage

Svchost is Service host for Windows processes that is a component of Windows.

As you said it is eating 50 percent of CPU, it must be doing work in background. The error critical process died is also due to Svchost usually.

 

Windows 10 - 100% Disk Usage

Svchost is a process that deals with networks mainly. It has many shapes and sizes, but the main ones are ALL ways of connecting to internet + some other stuff, firewall + some other stuff and windows update + other stuff. Depending on which part of the
svchost is using up your ram, it could be caused by many things.

Some time back I had a problem with svchost eating up all my cpu power. I read about it and found out that it tried to update even though the update was already installed. So I reset all the services (svchost ones) and everything went back to normal. Had to
do it after every restart though.

 

If it's Superfetch service, it's okay. It's meant to improve performance.

If you have Chrome on background process, go to Chrome's configuration and untick the box where it says "keep running Chrome on background upon exitting".

 

Services are not eating up your memory. Disabling services, even to the point where functionality was impaired, would save little memory. Your memory usage is not unreasonable for a 64 bit OS with 2 GB RAM and running chrome with multiple tabs open. 2 GB RAM is the minimum supported on a 64 bit OS. Meaning that will provide acceptable performance with a relatively light load. Good performance would require 4 GB RAM but 8 GB is better.

Superfetch does use considerable memory but it is marked as available, which it is. Disabling Superfetch would save little memory but would impair performance.
