TiWorker, svchost, and CompatTelRunner disk and memory usage problem

Alright, so with a quick check in Task Manager, I noticed that TiWorker, svchost (Local System 17), and CompatTelRunner are using all of system resources (especially CompatTelRunner)! Before you ask, it is
not caused by any malware. I have Malwarebytes Premium installed, along with Windows Defender. I have been watching Task Manager for the past 2 hours, and the three were always at the top, organized by memory and disk usage.





Is there any way I can get these applications to stop using so much memory and disk usage?

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.
