Windows 10: "svchost.exe_WpnUserService" stops working whenever I shut down computer

This is a new thing that has occurred since the October 2018 update.


The WpnUserService (Windows Push Notifications User Service) stops working whenever I shut down the computer. Don't know what harm it'll bring to my computer, but it's kinda annoying to see it pop up in the Reliability Monitor. :/


I used Alt+F4 to shut it down.


The problem seems to be starting on the same day I updated several apps and installed Adobe Acrobat 7.0.

RAM Died: svchost error

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

 

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.

 

Suspicious activity and lots of svchost tasks

Hello Danny,

Service Host is a system process that hosts multiple Windows services in the operating system.
Svchost is essential in the implementation of so-called shared service processes, where a number of services can share a process in order to reduce resource consumption.

If you want to stop it, you can follow these steps:

• Click on Start, type Run and then type in
  services.msc.
• Find the svchost service and select
  Properties.
• Select Disabled from the Startup type box.
• Reboot computer.

You can also try this in safe mode.
