Windows 10: When opening my Task manager I have "Service Host: Device Association Service" using up 15...

This has just happened recently but when opening my Task manager I have "Service Host: Device Association Service" aka svchost.exe using up 15 -30% of cpu at all times. I've went in my Device manager and checked for any problematic drivers but have not found any. Any help would be much appreciated!

Deleting Service Host: Local Service Processes on Task Manager

I've recently come across a solution to better improve the performance of my laptop which was unding tasks for the Service Host: Local Service. I saw multiple Service Host: Local Services, and decided to end all of its tasks. All of a sudden, my laptop
turned off. I thought I screwed up the files, but my laptop only lost power. Although ending the Service Host tasks didn't affect my computer in any way, is there a posibility that ending all of the tasks on Task Manager will affect the entire computer?

 

Deleting Service Host: Local Service Processes on Task Manager

Hi,

Service host or svchost.exe is a system process that hosts multiple Windows services in the Windows NT family of operating systems.operation.
Svchost.exe is essential in the implementation of shared service processes, where a number of services can share a process in order to reduce resource consumption.Having said that, it is not recommended end it on the Task Manager.

Let us know if you have any other concern.

 

Browser /connection security, hosts file and DNS service

You're saying that Open DNS(and other services like it) house their own list of known 'bad' sites, and by using their DNS servers, it will filter out sites based on that list?

Would you believe I was already using Open DNS servers.
This means the hosts file is moot?

And furthering that, if there's any bespoke sites I want to manually add, I could do it through my router directly.

Thus I can empty my local hosts file and turn my DNS service back on?
