Start up svhost.exe take so long

Asked By john clerk 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/21/2011

Hi,

When I start my computer, from the time it starts to the time I can start to use it, it  takes over 15 minutes.   svchost.exe is using nearly 100% all the time. It is netsvcs group that is using the CPU.

I have done a virus scan but I can't find any virus.  Is this normal in Windows 7 or can there be any problem ?

Start up svhost.exe take so long

This may happen due to high usage of the CPU by svchost.exe. Sometimes it may be doing “Automatic Updates” in your computer. You can see this through Task Manager > Processes.

Then you can control if there are any downloads happening. If there are any unnecessary services running on your PC, you can disable these services through Start menu > Search > type services.msc

Then you can see a dialog box called ‘Distributed Link Tracking Client Properties’

Select the services, which you like to disable;

Select ‘Disabled’ in ‘Start type’;

Sometimes this problem might happen due to a virus or a Malware issue. Then you have to use an automatic Spyware removal application certified by Microsoft to sort out this problem.

Thanks

Mark
