Windows 10: Svchost.exe mass suspending and OS degredation

Sorry in advance for the long post, this is a very strange issue.

For a couple weeks now, I have been having issues with my operating system becoming unstable after a couple of hours of use. Mainly explorer.exe. My taskbar becomes unusable after a bit; I can't open anything on my taskbar or start menu, it animated the button clicks but nothing happens.

When I restart explorer.exe(with or without admin rights) my taskbar will only load the base elements and no third party elements will show and my desktop is blank with no wallpaper. The desktop and taskbar are also completely frozen after restarting the process; indicated by the loading symbol on the cursor.

Another thing I noticed while all this happens is when I open task manager(or a third-party process manager) I can see, over time, that more and more svchost processes become suspended. I believe this may be either a cause or at least a connected issue.

I saw that it could possible by malware that caused these processes to become suspended, but I ran a full system scan with Norton security suite, Malwarebytes, and spybot s&d and they all came up empty.

I did find a temporary fix which may have been a fluke(I haven't done much testing) but when I opened procexp64.exe(an extensive third-party task manager) with admin rights immediately after restarting, the issue never happened the entire time my system was active without rebooting.

Also restarting my system take a painfully long time to restart(around 5 to 10 minutes), but I don't know if this is connected or not.

I am on my phone right now. I will edit this and put system specs in shortly.

RAM Died: svchost error

svchost is part of the OS, it just interacts with other aspects.

 

RAM Died: svchost error

Isnt svchost a service related to programs tho, and not the OS itself?
Like for example, there are multiple svchosts at any one time for multiple programs.

Though i suppose that still suggests the OS is buggered at the core.

 

What does the svchost do?

Lots of Windows services are tied to the SVChost, and /or are listed as SVChost in the process list(s).

Unfortunatley with Vista, there's a lot more dependencies between the services, and thus you'll be FORCED to run more instances of SVChosts; unlike XP where things were more independent and you could disable more features resulting in less SVChost instances. That and XP and Vista are different.

Regardless of your Windows version, you can check out some service slimming guides or goto Black Viper's website and take his advice. Depending on your needs you may be able to cut down the amount of SVChost running, and save some RAM.

XP should never have an SVChost using 50mb. Vista however can.
