History of svchost.exe In Windows NT 4.0, the different services were under their own .exe’s. For example above, we could see

that the following services had their own executables: Spoolss.exe (Print Spooler) Rpcss.exe (Remote Procedure Call) Tapisrv.exe (Telephony) What is a svchost.exe? Starting with Windows 2000, since each process consumes resources (desktop heap, memory, disk space, etc…), we moved the individual services to a generic service host. Svchost stands for “Service svchost memory leak windows 7 Host” which hosts services. The Services are compiled as .dll’s. Since it is a service, it will run in the background until it is needed even without any user being logged on or if the system is shutdown. Above you will notice that there are 17 svchost.exe processes running. It is nicely described in these links: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-svchost-exe 250320 Description of Svchost.exe in Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=250320 314056 A description of Svchost.exe in Windows XP Professional Edition http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314056 In the figure above, all the svchost.exe processes seem identical; let’s find out what the Process ID (PID) and the User Names are for the different svchost.exe’s. In Task Manager, let’s click on “View” and then on “Select Columns”.

Comments Windows 2003 is getting a bit long in the tooth, but we've

got a number of customers that are still happily using it, and for good reason — it's a solid kb927891 work horse of an OS. We've recently come upon an issue where some of our 2003 servers in the lab were pegging the CPU at 100%. Investigation revealed svchost was the https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/yongrhee/2012/06/28/how-to-troubleshoot-service-host-svchost-exe-related-problems/ culprit. But there are lots of svchost processes, what is it really doing? There is a cool trick to figure it out: Run: tasklist.exe /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe" You'll see someething like: Here you can see the PID associated with those svchost processes, and which service is running in each. Look in Task Manager to get the PID, compare to this https://www.poweradmin.com/blog/windows-2003-and-high-cpu-usage-in-svchost/ list, and you've now narrowed down which service is hogging the CPU. High CPU Usage in Automatic Update Service In our case, it turns out we've run into a known issue where the Automatic Update service goes a little crazy with CPU usage. It will drop down after finishing a scan, but will jump up again the next day. Since this is a known issue, there is also a fix. This page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891 lists two patches to install. After running and installing these (and one was already installed in our case), we've not had the problem since 🙂 UPDATE: Elohir and Byron_K below mentioned a new patch that seems to fix this problem even in cases where the previous fix hasn't worked. A big thank you! for sharing it. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms13-097 Doug NMore about me on Google+ Share → Tweet 19 Responses to Windows 2003 and High CPU Usage in Svchost Dan says: October 20, 2013 at 6:58 am Hy, I had a similar problem reagarding theSvchost high resource consuption.

the generic host process name used for such services. A Few years back, Microsoft decided to move all of the functionality from internal Windows services into the http://www.tech-faq.com/svchostexe-application-error.html .dll files. The .dll files were created for moving the functionality from the .exe files for the sake of better re-usability. However, the .dll files cannot be executed directly and so, svchost.exe http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/SLN289338 is required so as to execute the required .dll files. Different .dll files are created for different services and svchost.exe hosts all of them and calls the required files. It is server 2008 an integral part of the Windows Operating System and it cannot be restarted or started manually. At the startup, the services portion of the registry is checked by the svchost.exe and it then creates a list of the services that it needs to load for proper functioning of the system. A lot of services are required by Windows and these services are server 2008 r2 organized into logical groups, as grouping of services permits better debugging and control. A svchost.exe instance is created for each group of services that are in use and this is the reason why a number of instances of svchost.exe are found running in the background. Each instance of svchost.exe supports a group of services, and if you're running Windows XP then you cannot see the supported services from the Task Manager. In order to see the supported services, you need to use the ‘tasklist/SVC' command at the command prompt. The command displays a list of the services supported by each running instance of svchost.exe and you can then close the services accordingly so as to reduce the CPU usage. The SVCHOST.EXE Application Error The SVCHOST.EXE Application Error is a type of error that comes up in Windows XP caused by a problem with the Windows Automatic Update feature. When the Windows Update gets corrupted, the SVCHOST.exe application error appears and it prevents anything from being done. What most people will find is that, when trying to click out of it, suddenly the entire operating system c
underlying processes utilizing Svchost.exe for the purposes of troubleshooting performance issues and memory leaks Issue: It is determined that a Windows server has a performance problem because the server becomes unresponsive, locks up, reboots and network clients disconnect. The process, Svchost.exe, may be consuming over ten thousand file handles and excessive memory. Solution: Examine Svchost.exe file handle usage and services contained within Svchost.exe using Windows Task Manager. In this example Svchost.exe is hosting Microsoft services and the handle count and memory usage is normal. Perform the following using Task Manager in Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. 1. Open Task Manager by right clicking in the task bar area and choosing Task Manager. 2. Click the Processes tab. 3. Click View then Select Columns. 4. Check Handle Count for Windows 2003 or Handles for Windows Server 2008. 5. Select OK. 6. Click on the Handles column twice to sort by highest handle count. 7. Right-click on Svhost.exe and click Go to Service(s). Examine Svchost.exe file handle usage and services contained within Svchost.exe using Windows Task Manager. In this example Svchost.exe is hosting Microsoft services and the handle count and memory usage is normal. Perform the following using Task Manager in Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. 1. Open Task Manager by right clicking in the task bar area and choosing Task Manager. 2. Click the Details tab. 3. Hover the mouse over a column name and right-click and choose Select Columns. 4. Check Handles. 5. Select OK. 6. Click on the Handles column twice to sort by highest handle count. 7. Right-click on Svhost.exe and click Go to service(s). In cases where third-party applications are using Svchost.exe there may not be any services listed when choosing Go to Service(s). In this case use Tasklist.exe to determine the services hosted within Svhost.exe. Using the Windows Server 2012 example above the Svchost.exe has a Process ID(PID) of 824. 1.
