    taskhostw.exe has high CPU consumptionm of 99.3%


    Hey,

    I have been searching the internet all day and I have not found a fix for this. I have been playing some Overwatch and League of Legends and noticed that every 10 or so seconds the characters jump/snap to a location. I assumed it was lag or that my graphics drivers weren't updated but I have discovered it is neither. While using Photoshop CC, every 20 seconds while using the brush it freezes, I can move my Wacom pen around but when I try to draw or click nothing happens, a few seconds later it then fulfils all the actions done within the freeze.

    I did some scans of my pc and found this error when using the Resource and Performance Monitor, as well as these 'informational'.

    I believe this is what's causing the lag/freezing but cannot find a fix for it. My pc is only 8 months old, and it was build by myself and has been working perfectly since built. I have also this morning done a fresh install of windows 10 to see if that would fix it but it has not.

    Pc Specs:
    cpu: Intel(R_ Core(TM) i7-7700k CPU @ 4.20GHz
    ram: 16GB DDR4
    gpu: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
    hard drives - 2x ssd + 1 hhd

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated as im out of things to try and my pc is currently unusable.
    Thanks

    :)
