Windows 10: Why is svchost.exe preventing some of my programs from opening, and how can I solve this...

Hello who any readers who think they could help solve my issue,

I'm looking for a solution involving svchost.exe which prevents some of the programs I use from opening, when I go into the task manager, then to details on the program that wont open, then to Analyse wait chain, all of the programs lead me to a certain svchost.exe application that always says 'waiting on Program I'm trying to open while when I go to the program it also says 'waiting on svchost.exe that sent me here'

Note: The svchost.exe programs are usually in the 300-400 PID's, if that helps..




Its a total loop, I've been looking into the problem for quite some time, can anyone help?

:)

 

RAM Died: svchost error

svchost is part of the OS, it just interacts with other aspects.

 

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.

 

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.
