How to Fix svchost.exe using 100% CPU / Memory Leak
As a computer technician, here is a problem I have been coming across more and more. About 30secs to 1 minute after booting into Windows the computer starts lagging heavily. When CTRL+ALT+DEL is pressed it shows that svchost.exe is using up maximum CPU resources and only occurs when Automatic Updates is enabled. Microsoft has recognized this problem and has released a patch. However, on all computers I have worked on with this problem, the Microsoft patches don’t fix the problem. This is a guide on how to fix this problem with svchost using maximum CPU.

First of all, to identify if you have this problem you need to press CTRL+ALT+DEL all at the same time, go to the “Processes Tab” and then press “Mem Usage”. If you have this svchost.exe memory leak bug after about 1 minute you will see that the amount of memory usage svchost.exe uses will keep increasing until CPU becomes 99 or 100%. Below is an example of what this looks like:

Does this include instructions on how to solve the problem that says "You got disconnected from the servers"?

Not sure if this will fix that problem i havent had any problems playing online sent i did this game run great no lags and the svchost has always stay at 0% my computer use to be 99% all the time! If anybody dose this tell me if it work's for you like it did for me!

Got a fix for Vista? :)

along a similar vein if u notice that your page file usage in the performace tab of task manager it can be a good idea to close POTC down and restart as the constant disc reads when page file usage is high will cause lag

only thing to add is that svchost usage of 99% would probably just about kill the PC so you would probably get more than a little lag :)

Question... does the svchost.exe only use these resources while pirates.exe is running only or does this mean just while xp in general is running? cause i checked this without pirates.exe running and my svchost.exe is using nothing at all. thanks

Thank you Muggshot for posting this for our Windows XP users. :)

Thank goodness my Macintosh is not suffering from any problems, I hate fixing windows problems. :)

I have found something about memory leaks in window vista and the scvhost file ill post it in a dif discussion form hope this helps!

to answer your question livewire82 i dont think it dose i use to start my computer up and as soon as i get on it go up to 99% without even doing anything i guess there is a huge leak problem with window xp computers but after doing what the article said above my pc always stay at 0% on all svchost files even if im on pirates of the caribean or not!
