SOLVED on page 3! svchost.exe (during boot, especially)

(1/8) > >>

Bubba Euler:
Howdy, Shane.  I have a long boot because of svchost.exe, seemingly because of the WIFI network svchost.exe.  I'm running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise.  4 GB RAM. 

System Explorer tells me that svchost.exe (of which there are MANY within Windows!) is utilizing near 100% CPU cycles at boot,.  It is taking "forever" to get ready to use.  Here's a clue:  When I "disconnect" from the wireless network and connect to another wireless network within my area, I get the very same svchost.exe utilizing near 100% CPU cycles for 4 to 5 minutes at a time.  This has been a very recent occurrence and is out of the ordinary.  My "System Explorer" tells me nothing more than what I've conveyed.  I'm perplexed and kind'a frustrated that I can't figure out the cause of it!

I've run all the tests, et al,  from Windows Repair and can't seem to get a "feel" for the solution.  Any ideas?

Hi, bubba

             
                      did you try to look at the process tab, in the task manager, which is causing 100% of cpu. Did there any gif desktop running continueously, . Please check the process tab, and note which process is responsible for the maximum cpu usage. Try to stop, if it is not system normal processes.
                          You could also download process explorer from sysinternational and check the processes hidden, which is causing this. Pl stop those processes and your problem will be solved

Willy2:
Remove & re-install the network driver.

Shane:
As willy said, trying updating the network card driver since we know it is network related.

The wireless service is going to try and work with the wireless card, if the drivers have a bug or if the wireless card itself is going bad then that service will not work correctly and could explain the maxed out CPU.

It is also always possible it is an infection as most rootkits try to bind themselves to the network. But before we go and think it is a rootkit or virus the easiest thing to do is to update the network drivers :-)

Go to your device manager and tell me the make and model of the wireless card and I will see if I can find new drivers for you, let me know the current driver version you have now.
