I followed the steps for running the 3 files. I got messages that the two .exe files were not necessary as I already had more recent updates. Then I restarted and my CPU seems to be running normally for now. I’ll report if that changes.

Thanks a lot – I’ve been trying to solve this for over a month!

these instructions don’t work on my thinkpad t42 running xp. I went through every step successfully, and svchost.exe is still killing me at startup.

Bryce, you are a bloody LEGEND!!!! I was fearing divorce (not really) with the problems svchost was giving my Mrs. and me while trying to work on my laptop. Jesus himself will open the gates of heaven for you, as you have personally decreased the blasphemous rantings of frustrated users worldwide by 87%. Good on you!

hi guys! i have the most easiest solution for u ppl who wana get rid of this error nothing to install coz they wont work n will not solve it so herez the solution;-)

Solution:

Follow these simple steps and your Windows will be fully cured of this menace

Close Port 445:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) by clicking Start menu, and then click the Run icon.
2. In the small box that Opens, type: regedit then click the OK button. The Registry Editor will now have opened.
3. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesNetBTParameters
In the right-hand side of the window find an option called TransportBindName.
Double click that value, and then delete the default value, thus giving it a blank value.

I FOUND A SOLUTION!

I’ve tested it on many computers. and so far all have been fixed of the SVCHOST problem.
Here’s how:

1)Install Microsoft Update. This might require upgrading from Windows Update. Make sure you can get to the screen that lists the available updates to ensure that you have the latest MS Update version.
2) Reboot your computer.
3) Open Control Panel and click on Windows Update. Make sure that updates are set to being downloaded & installed automatically.
4) Restart your computer.
5) Open Control Panel again and click on Windows Update. This time make updates completely DISABLED.
6) Restart your computer, and you’re done!

Works every time! I believe the reasoning behind it is that changing around the auto Updating Settings somehow clears away ‘junk’ commands in the OS’s kernel.

Hi, the problem remains. I thought it to be gone but it remained. Plz help. Also KB927891 says the files are incompatible with the one in my system. I have recently uninstalled service pack 3 and am now currently using XP sp2.

Plz mail me and HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.
