    Windows 10 Pro slowdown issue by: Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service


    Hello Guys and Gals,


    My computer performance has dropped like a rock.

    In Task Manager is something using about half cpu and memory and it says the following.


    Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNoNetwork -p -s DPS


    I ran dozens of various scans which I will list below:


    sfc /scannow

    DISM to many commands to list all in admin cmd prompt.

    MAlwarebtyes

    Bitdefender

    ADWcleaner.


    I even uploaded svchost to virustotal and jotti and all come back as clean.


    I ran lots of virus scans as shown above and hitman pro and others.


    System all shows as clean and working.


    I even did a selective startup with everything disabled and still have issue.



    Does anyone have any idea of what is causing my issue?

    Or a way to fix it without having to reinstall windows?



    Thanks in advance

    Gren

    :)

    Slowdowns and Crashes from Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service

    Hello,

    I'm running Windows 10 on my desktop and I have recently been getting huge slowdowns due to the Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service process. I can force quit the application, which restores normal system function for 10-15 minutes before it slows
    down again and I have to once again end the Service Host.

    I have tried doing a clean reinstall of Windows 10 but the problem persists. I suspect the source of the problem is with the hard drive itself slowly failing. I have tried to clone the partition containing my OS onto another drive, but my computer
    crashes during the cloning process. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

    Thank you!
