Windows 10: Svchost is taking port 80 on boot

I'm trying to find out the cause of svchost taking port 80. I dont recall installing or modifying anything, but suddenly i cant use port 80, and after i checked on resource monitor the process is caused by svchost heres the screenshotThe process that runs on port 80 and 443 runs from the same executable, after i killed using the pid both of the port is freed.Is there anyway i can trace the cause of this ? or anyway i cant prevent svchost from taking both of that port ?

:)

 

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.

 

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.

 

System process blocks Port 80

You clearly don't understand the problem here. But I was able to solve it by doing the following:

• Activate IIS
• In Services disable the IIS service
• Reboot
• Port 80 is no longer blocked by the System process
