    What is "Service Host: Network Service" and how do I kill it?


    I can't close it in task manager without an ominous "doing this will make the computer unstable" but I have no idea what it is or what it's doing, apart from hogging 100% of my internet bandwidth. I hate it. How do I stop this?? Please help.

    Service Host Local Service (No Network)

    Same problem here with sony vaio VGN-NW11S. After last update I'm facing this issue. CPU goes to 80%, heating up my device. With Task manager I have to kill Service Host local service (no Network) - windows firewall. What happened? Troubleshooter cannot
    find any issue. Thanks.

    Windows 10 "Service Host: Local Service (No Network)" drains CPU constantly

    I've had this problem for at least several months.
    I noticed a lot of threads without a happy ending:

    1. High CPU Usage from "Service Host: Local Service [...]
    2. Service Host: Local Service (No Network) (3) and Service Host: Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) causing High CPU
    3. svchost.exe Service Host: Local Service (No Network) - Permanent CPU usage
    4. service host: Local Service (No Network) (5) taking up all my CPU resources (i5-4690k)

    And I did try all the suggestions made in these threads including:

    1. Updating the windows to the latest version
    2. Troubleshoot network, update, etc
    3. killing all other software, changing MSISUPPORTED of my SSD disk in regedit etc.

    One thing I noticed is that the problem disappears in safemode.
