[The Dark Angel]

Hello MPGHers!Recently I installed SP3,because I can't use skype without it.Now that I installed it,I can't acces it either because a task(in task manager) called svchost.exe is taking up 90-100% of the CPU.Everything I open lags like hell.I would really like help in the next couple of hours.Thanks!

Apparently the error only occurs in windows XP.
Try this:
https://www. exe - error- advisor . com/svchost-exe (Remove Spaces)

Tell me what happens

If it doesn't work try upgrading your OS to like vista or 7

EDIT:I just fixed it by turning Automatic Updates OFF.Then went to play a LoL game,and BOOM,It happened again!Could League of Legends be the cause of this?Help needed very fast!

Not sure if LoL is the problem but i seriously recommend you upgrade your OS.
You will never get this error again and no it wont make your computer slower.. Just torrent windows 7 onto a usb and boot your computer off the USB so you wont have to waste around $100 on buying a new OS disc.

Well, svchost.exe is a host process that functions all services and .exe files according to Microsoft. You say svchost.exe took up your CPU usage right? I think there's a lot of processes with the same name (svchost.exe.) Try to kill them down by opening the Task Manager. Another way is to disable the unused services and startup also. If both methods still not working, then you upgrade it into new OS version.

Yea,I wanted to try that.But the problem is that I heard that if you stop the svchost.exe procces,your windows status can get Critical.And I don't want to risk it really.

No, it's not kinda risky if you kill svchost.exe. If svchost.exe keeps on popping on your Task Manager, then kill them. Sometimes, if you have only one svchost.exe left in the Task Manager, it will appear like this "The access is denied". *Press Thanks If I Help You Out HAHAHA*
