High CPU usage by Service Host & Services and Controller app

Hi All,
My CPU is running at a consistent 98-99% within moments after booting my machine. I have uploaded a ~30s ETL capture here:
hxxps://www.dropbox.com/s/xznhkdyo5p2p7rn/highcpu.07-03-2014.10-46-16.zip
I've been digging around, but I can't seem to find what the cause of this high CPU usage is. It appears to be affecting the explorer service as well as Chrome. CPU usage does NOT go down if I kill all chrome processes however.
Any insight would be wonderful.

Hi,
According to your screenshot, it seems this is not related a particular service, it just like a memory leak issue.
Can you check the event viewer to see if there is some error record?
Or you can check if this issue happens in Clean Boot mode, this would eliminate software conflict:

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Linux\Unix Client High CPU Usage

    Hello,
    We have recently implemented SCCM 2012 R2 in a mixed Windows \ Solaris \ RHEL environment. The Unix\Linux client are at the SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 - Version
    5.00.7958.1024.
    A small number of system outages have occured recently on the Linux & Solaris systems. SCCM is one of several candidate causes.
    One issue we have seen on these systems is high CPU usage by ccmexed.bin
    The TOP command shows the process regulalry using more than 100% of a single CPU core.
    The PRSTAT command shows a more resonable CPU usage accross all cores.
    However, in both cases the process is using significantly more CPU resource than other systems processes - including SAP and Oracle.
    Are there any known issues\reported bugs with high CPU usage on RHEL 5 & 6 and Solaris 10 x86?
    I know CU3 for Unix\Linux has just been released and I will certainly be looking at applying that in the environment - more
    expeditiously
    if this is a recognised issue and fixed in CU3
    Regards, Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Yes, the latest Clients Clients Clients including bug fixes and added support for RHEL 7, CentOS 7, and Oracle Linux 7
    Please apply the fix and see how it goes.

  • CF 10 sp 12 Enterprise  high CPU usage hangs services, 2012 server on 2012 Hyper-V host

    The last 2 days - my [removed link] CF site has suffered from high CPU usage (on and off) that stops functionality.
    This will last several minutes then suddenly the high usage stops a few minute later the high cpu usage starts again.
    I don't have any scheduled processes allowed to run.
    Restarting the coldfusion service  during a high CPS incident - the cpu usage just picks up where it left off when restarted.
    I have assigned 4 CPUs (normal) or 8CPUs  (as a test) to the VM and I get the same high CPU then low usage. This is a fresh install several months ago on a new VM.
    I'd like some Adobe support on this issue but can't seem to find the contact phone number.
    This series of high and low cpu usage first started Monday AM about midnight until 7:00 AM  Tuesday was quiet and Wednesday this AM I'm having the same issues.
    Ideas?
    Update:  While waiting for this to post - the high CPU usage started again and this time I stopped and restarted the Jetty service ... and the CPU usage went away...
    Update: the high cpu started again and a restart of the jetty service didn't help --- neither did the .net service restart... the cf10 application service did stop the high usage...

  • Windows 8.1 CPU Usage being used by Service Hosts

    My problem has been persistant for several of days and I really need my CPU usage. Some Service Hosts using sometimes up to 50% of my CPU usage. I have tried using the Refresh tool in the advanced settings
    which deletes everything installed to the computer to no prevail. I have even come to the idea of resetting to factory settings but I am beginning to think that the problem will still persist. I have seen several people have this problem with no solution that
    is visible. I have not installed anything to make my CPU usage do this, I have clicked Run then typed in Services.msc and did some things in there. I saw somewhere that the Windows Modules Installer was one of those "CPU-eaters" along with Windows
    Search, so I set there Start Up Type to Manual and put them to a halt. I will put a picture for these Service Host files and how much power each one individually takes. Before the Refresh I would click on the services and then try to end their task, still
    no prevail. Please tell me how I can fix this, I don't really see a need to post my speculations for my computer since it is happening to a lot of other people on Windows 8.1, not a selected few. I hope someone will read my post through and help me, because
    this is troublesome and limits the performance of my PC. Thank you for reading, I hope you have some solutions for my situation.
    Images
    As for the first image, I am showing you the Windows Module Installer Worker using up some CPU, and I am not installing a Windows update by the way.
    As for the second image, I really don't understand what is happening since they are labeled all the same but numbers and networks. But still, they are eating at my usage, just one service taking up 40% is uncalled for in my books. Also,
    as the Service Host rises, the System coincides with it too, rising at the same time. I really don't know how to go about fixing the Hosts. Maybe a downgrade to Windows 7 which I don't have? The most recent version of Windows I have on file is Windows Vista,
    and well, I don't really want to go that far back.
    When I tried to submit my question, I got some red text saying "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account.", and I don't really feel like waiting for that,
    so you are just going to have to go off of the summaries I gave you. Sorry.

  • Config Manager Agent - after Hardware Inventory High CPU Usage with WMIPRSVE and very fast empty Battery

    Hi there,
    since a few days there is on some machines (40-60) a high cpu usage on one core (quad core cpu machines) with the WMIPRSVE.EXE if the HARDWARE INVENTORY CYCLE started.
    i try out some tests, read some forum articles and troubleshooting the WMI management but a real problem i doesn´t see.
    in some articles i read that hardware inventory runs about minutes up to more hours but some machines runs longer, someone more as 1 day.
    here an example of mine PC:
    at 8:07 i started Hardware Inventory Cycle, in the InventoryAgent.log i can see that some Collection Namespace are captured.
    after a few minutes there stopped and does nothing round about 5.9 hours or better, after 21436.097 Seconds.
    For any hints i am grateful. :)

    Looks like something in one or both of those wmi queries.  it goes from 8:10:03 to 14:06:43 right around there.  6 hours to do that... 
    try running those queries from wbemtest manually; and see which one just never finishes.
    Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 -- extremely high cpu usage and virtual ram

    hi,
    when i use office it causes a very high cpu usage even when its in idle mode.
    i am unable to work with it, because its extremely slow.
    does anyone have same experiences?
    thanks for your help!
    mbp 2.0 1,5gb ram 80gb hdd   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am able to work OK with office, I'm using the 'old version' Microsoft Office v.X, not much details in the About Box, just listed as MSoft Word/Excel/etc for Mac service release 1.
    I get the occasional crash, and I have seen Word in particular use 90% of a single core and amazingly large virtual memory usage, gigabytes sometimes, but eventually the document gets printed.
    It shows how useful the dual core (or quad) cpu approach is!
    One cpu for Word to print, and one cpu to run the rest of my applications/life!
    I still use this old office rather than re-booting into Window§ for whatever is the latest version of office.
    Doing some playing with a similar one page document in Office v.X and Pages 2.01, I get Word using about 25% of a core , Pages using 5%, - whilst editing; Intel native Pages has 20% of a core and 80MB ram 480 virtual whilst printing, Word has about 100% of a core and 65MB ram 650 virtual whilst printing, but it is a powerPC code so Rosetta is in there somewhere.
    check Activity Monitor or other apps/widgets for some parasitic processes? have fun!

  • Exchange 2013 - High CPU utilization for the RpcClientAccess service

    Hi, I have a Exchange 2013 CU5 that is having extremely high CPU usage, mostly in the morning (logon time). If I restart the RpcClientAccess service it goes back to normal. Are there any of you guys having the same issue?

    Hi,

  • Google Earth Plugin and LabVIEW: High CPU usage when adding placemarks

    Hi,
    I posted this question on stackoverflow earlier this week but feel it might be better suited to the LabVIEW community specifically so I'm reposting here:
    I'm writing an application which uses the Google Earth Plugin to display events on the globe. Each event is a single point kml placemark with an icon which is a 3kb png file. Placemarks are uploaded to the plugin as they are received by the software. I am experiencing increasing CPU usage with the number of placemarks that are added.
    I have tested displaying a new placemark every second and running until the software running the plugin completely froze (graph attached). The GEPlugin (green trace) stopped responding (i.e. the globe did not respond to the mouse) at around 1200 placemarks added and CPU usage was at ~30%. When the software itself (red trace) froze the plugin was using around 50% CPU and ~3700 placemarks had been added). After the freeze, no new placemarks were added which caused the software to respond (but not the plugin) so I could clear all the placemarks. After the placemarks were cleared from the globe, the CPU usage of the plugin returned to around 5% CPU.
    So what I've seen is that GEPlugin CPU usage increases linearly with each kml placemark added. Is this the expected behaviour/ a normal limitation of the plugin? If not is there a more efficient way of adding many placemarks to the globe?
    I am using GEPlugin version 7.1.1.1580 (API version 1.010) and LabVIEW 12.0f3
    Please see the test results attached. Any input greatly appreciated!

    Hello,
    I have had a look at your graphs and understood what you are trying to do. To me it seems that as the image gets more complex it gets harde to render which wold likely cause increase in CPU usage resulting in the freeze. I would suggest you try running the program on anoher computer to check on the RAM front of things. If this is a limitation of the GE Plugin then unfortunately I can not do much to help, but if you think this is a problem coming from your LabVIEW code then you can post your code here and I can take a look.

  • Latest flashplayer not work well, even the early version in 11x and has high CPU usage

    why is it that flashplayer 11x always has  a High CPU Usage? detected by NOrton Antivirus

    you can't rely on norton antivirus.
    but if you check your active processes and directly confirm a problem with flash player 11+, uninstall your current flash player (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html) and install an older version:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

  • ATSServer and MDWorker High CPU Usage

    Lately, Activity Monitor shows 'ATSServer' and 'MDWorker' as using an unusually high cpu usage. I tried to google the issue and all that I found out is that ATSServer and MDWorker deal with Spotlight indexing.
    Currently, Spotlight isn't indexing my drive. I've tried to force quit both processes. They relaunch and take up the CPU again. I've restarted the machine to no avail.
    Help?

    Thanks for posting! I've been in the same boat for the last few days, with my MacBook's fan howling at me as it indexed a giant zip file. *shakes fist at MacBook designers* It needs TWO fans, you lugnuts!
    Never once did I consider simply adding my downloads drive to the "ignore" list. You've saved my sanity!

  • Screen Sharing freezing and high CPU usage

    Hello all,
    I use screen sharing to remote my mac mini as a media server connected to ma HD TV to play movies, music and surf.
    Since I upgrade to mavericks on my macs (Macbook Pro Retina and my Mac Mini) I have some troubles with the screen sharing feature.
    No problems with the login step, the connexion is fast, all permissions are OK (I saw there were a bug with some RDP release) but sometimes, when I use fullscreen software as VLC, Firefox, etc (not the native apple full screen feature, I just clic on the + at the top of the window), my sreen sharing freeze and I can't do or move anything on the remoted mac mini. I'm unable to close (or reduce) the screen sharing app too, it's totaly busy (But I can see the movie or the website on the 2 computer, there is no deconnection)... I have to kill the process through the monitoring activity.
    During the freezing time, I try to use vnc light from my Iphone and I have no problem, I can move the mouse, reduce le VLC windows... As soon I reduce the VLC windows, the screen sharing works again. I also use the logitech TouchMouse to remote the mouse, everything work fine.
    Here are a screen shot of the monitoring activity of the Mac running the screen sharing app, we can see that there is a very high CPU usage when I use VLC in fullscreen on my mac mini. The first is in normal mode. The second is in freeze mode. Screen Sharing is named "Partage d'écran".
    Can someone help me to fix that, everything works fine with Mountain Lion.

    I have a Macbook Pro 13.5" 2.8 GHz 4 core (2 real, 2 hyperthreaded) i7 machine running with 1920X1200 display, 3 virtual screens and VMWare adding a few virtual screens (full sized).  I have another Macbook Pro 15" with 2.6 GHz Haswell 8 core (4 real, 4 hyperthreaded).  I see the problem using Screen Sharing on the 15 inch (Retina screen) mode simulating 1920 X 1200 pixels using Screen Sharing to the 13.5" Macbook Pro.
    When I get the ScreenSharing problem, I have identified it as related to the VMWare screen on the 13.5" Macbook Pro being shown through Screen Sharing on the Retina Screen.  Before you conclude it is a VMWare problem, the computations are only on the Screen Sharing client side, not on the server side running VMWare.  The mouse gets unusable through Screen Sharing.  If I physically move the mouse on the 13.5" Macbook, no problem.  If I switch virtual screens, the Screen Sharing goes to normal processing.
    I see an appearance of a compute-bound thread on the Screen Sharing client.  It takes 100% CPU on one thread, the machine as a whole is 12.5% busy (the performance monitor considers all 8 threads as equal when in fact, they are not).
    A few more pieces of information.  The VMWare client ends up having a lot of overlapping windows with a lot of changing graphics.  My mouse runs into problems especially when it is overlaying a changing plot (Perfmon running in Windows 7, or updating email client).  It does turn out that VMWare has a "native" VNC server built-in and I tried to connect to the virtual screen using the Screen Sharing Client on the machine with computing problem and voila!, no problem.  I end up having a Screen Sharing Client running native running screen (supposed to be VNC, but I have not verified that) sharing protocol on a virtual screen that is NOT the VMWare virtual screen and a separate session using actual VNC protocol using the VMWare VNC server.  It works perfectly fine.
    If I may hazard a guess, I think I know what the bug is, or at least, what is the nature of the problem that I have.  The rest of you may have a different bug.  When I have difficulty, it is because I am on a window that suppresses the dock, both in remote virtual screen and on the local machine showing the screen.  Two docks are suppressed, one remote, one local.  Throw in overlapping windows with changing graphics in the overlapped windows and toss in a mouse on top of that.  I think that the Screen Sharing is trying to refresh overlapping windows with mouse and going through the suppressed dock calculations and never converging on what the picture should be.  The mouse ends up being the visible cue that shows the time frame for iterating the windows - flickers with a timeframe of greater than a second.  That is far greater than the screen update time.  It is totally compute bound with all the overlapping stuff that it is deconflicting.  At least, that is what I think is going on.
    Meanwhile, the VMWare VNC server appears to send out a single graphics context and causes the Screen Sharing client to converge to a picture.  Note, the mouse appearance is very different when attaching to the VMWare VNC Server rather than the ScreenSharing native server.  I see two mouse renderings, the virtual machine remote and a mouse rendering from my Screen Sharing client side.  They are mostly in sync in position unless I move the mouse very quickly.  If I use Screen Sharing client and server instead, I usually see only one mouse, the client side's mouse rendering.
    I have a solution for my problem.  It is similar to using a different VNC server/client pairing.  I will use a VNC server for the systems giving me trouble that is not Screen Sharing Server exercising a probable bug in the Client (though, it could be a problem in the design of Screen Sharing itself).

  • USB Devices Not Detected and High CPU Usage

    Hello, I'm using arch on a Dell 1720 laptop.
    I have some weird issues involving detection of USB devices.
    When the laptop is on battery and I plug in a USB mouse the power flickers on and flickers off again; nothing in the logs/dmesg.
    If I then connect the AC adapter the reconnect the mouse, the same happens, except the CPU usage hits 87%+ on one core.
    Running
    sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
    solves the problem; the CPU usage drops and the mouse gets detected.
    Subsequent attempts to hotplug USB devices does nothing, no high CPU and no Power.
    Rebooting the computer is the only way to use USB devices at the moment.
    usb-autosuspend is disabled in laptop-mode.
    uname -a:
    Linux MatSalleh 2.6.39-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jun 5 18:30:30 EDT 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
    The same happens with the stock kernel too
    My kernel line in grub:
    kernel /vmlinuz26-ck root=/dev/sda3 elevator=bfq ro resume=/dev/sda2
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    I highly doubt it's that, it was working fine on ubuntu just days before...

    This one helps me to solve this problem
    My USB devices don't even get detected, so that script won't work.
    Last night I hibernated my computer after not using any USB devices, on resume, my CPU usage was 100%, removing the ehci_hcd module fixed it.
    Any more ideas?
    I'm tempted to build a vanilla kernel...

  • Skype vdeo call and high cpu usage on Mac

    Hello,
    I have seen many posts around skype video call causing extremely high CPU usage which in turn causes a lot of heat and fan starts to go crazy. This does not seem to happen on Windows. I have trawled various forums and tried everything but to no avail.
    Finally the workaround that worked for me was simple - during a call when CPU usage is going through the roof and the fans going crazy - just share your screen for a few seconds with the caller and then unshare. CPU usage dramatically falls off and stabilises at around 38% to 40%. I have noticed this my Macbook Pro (2013 2.3ghz, 16gb RAM) running Yosemite.
    This is definitely a problem with Skype. Guys; please fix....

    Did the sharing and unsharing of screen stabilise your CPU usage? I also tried deleting the Library/Caches/com.skype* directory and whilst it helped initially, in the long run it did not work. The only thing that worked for me was sreen share and unshare.
    Personally I am just getting more and more disappointed with OS X. The way they have implemented HiDPI support with scaling (downscaling and then upscaling) is just insane and a lot of applications struggle. I am sure this is not the root cause of the high CPU usage issue for Skype. It's not long before I come off the Apple ecosystem altogether.
