TMG Microsoft Firewall Service Process (wspsrv.exe) high CPU. CPU Usage 100%

TMG Microsoft Firewall Service Process (wspsrv.exe) high CPU.
CPU Usage 100%
Please help me.
Thanks

Hi,
Since there can be multiple reasons for this issue, you can
capture a manual dump of the wspsrv.exe process on TMG server or find some related logs to better analyze this issue firstly.
In addition, what have you done before you encountered that issue?
If you have any third-party programs installed, you can temporary disable them and restart the firewall service to see if the issue persists.
For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:

to capture a manual dump of the wspsrv.exe process on TMG 2010?

Isa 2006 wspsrv.exe high cpu load

I have an ISA 2006 Server which run for 5 years without any problem. As the hardware is getting old now I have decided to change the Hardware to a new server but was unable due to the hardware to install Server 2003 which ISA runs only on this one as it
is 32-bit. I then decided to install server 2008 R2 and install isa 2006 on a vm. Installed all updates patches on server 2008 and the 2003 running on VM, SP1 for ISA.
Everything went fine, transferred the rules and Exchange and everything works fine. However, every day, two days three days, very randomly and no systematically timeframe isa 2006 wspsrv.exe get a 99% high cpu load and then the service makes
the internet to stop. No internet access anymore, no ping by name or IP. Rebooting the server fixes that problem until it happens again. It also happens during different time when people are working or even during the weekend when noone is
working on the system.
I have no idea anymore what I could do next. ISA is the only thing installed on the Server
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
The blog analyzed a scenario that the high CPU is caused by the third party driver. You could refer to the steps in the blog to troubleshoot this issue.
Quote:
What we can conclude here is that we have a condition where wspsrv.exe was allocating more and more threads without releasing resources (releasing threads) because it was getting stuck waiting for an answer from kernel driver.
Some threads were working on I/O, mainly socket and LRPC call (almost socket) that run in Kernel mode. The third party driver is causing every AFD call to take more time and more CPU cycles, the fact that ISA is extremely using sockets amplify the problem.
The third party kernel driver was uninstalled from ISA Server and the issue was resolved.

Settingsynchost.exe high Cpu usage

Hello Everybody,
So lets get to the point.I clean installed Windows 10 Tech Preview Build 9841 x64 on my Hp pavilion g4 1303-au laptop
Specs of my laptop :
Amd a4-3330mx Radeon HD 6480g Microprocessor
6 GB DDR3 Ram 1333 Mhz
500 GB HDD
what i found problematic in this build (ie.,build 9841) was that when i first boot my laptop after clean install,i opened my task manager and found that Settingsynchost.exe was using 25-35% of cpu without doing anything.My fan was throttling so fast than
normal.I was really so pissed off with that so i retrieved back to my old win8.1 pro x64.So can anyone tell me how to fix this Settingsynchost.exe bug from tech preview because i want to see more aspects of window 10 and give my utmost regards for it.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Aman Srivastava

We have found that the information bubbles that open up in the top right hand corner of pdf documents can consume a lot of CPU, when visible for a user on our RDS servers Acrobat Reader would consume anything between 14-25% of CPU resource. This turned out to be very easy to resolve - first you can simply close the info bubble as the user, this setting is then retained for the next time any pdf documents are open. However this was not a suitable fix for the several hundred users that we have regularly connected to our various RDS farms. Instead we added the following registry settings to each users profile via our logon scripts - these disable the info bubbles and therefore prevent the high CPU usage.
KEY = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral
DWORD = bReaderShouldShowInfoBubble
VALUE = 0
DWORD = bReaderShowEPDFToolsPaneInfoBubble
VALUE = 0
I hope that this information helps other users with similar High CPU issues when running Acrobat Reader.

HT1925 applemobiledeviceservice.exe high cpu usage xp

I would try cmd "netsh winsock reset", restart computer, thats it.
I tried before this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US with no success.
Hope this will help someone.
P.S. i upgraded before from itunes 10.5.2 to 10.6.40

Hi,
Generally, we can perform a Clean Boot to narrow down the possible third party software conflicts. For the detailed steps, please refer to the following Microsoft KB article:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Sppsvc.exe High cpu usage since 4/6/2015

sppsvc.exe using 60% to 80% of cpu since 4/6/2015 in Windows Server tech preview. Is this due to a update or the upcoming 4/15/2015 expiration date for build 9841? This has not been a problem up until now. Any ideas?

I've just tested it with the latest version of Firefox and the CPU usage is
rising in line with the number of IDX files.
Unfortunately I can't EASILY test the applet with IE6, I'm waiting for a
response from my partner to see if anyone uses IE6 with the applet.
Thanks

Rim.desktop.exe high cpu usage and internet activity

What the heck is going on with desktop 6 software? Rim.Desktop.exe is running 10-20% cpu utilization and my router lights are blinking like crazy. It won't shut down right away while this is going on either. I have to force the shutdown to close the app and stop the internet activity. This goes on when my phone is connected or not. Storm 9530.
Dean

Thanks for the quick reply.
If you do not have that 3rd party add-on running, do you notice a difference in the cpu usage? or network connectivity?
Also did you experience any of these problems with running with DTM 5.0.1
The only network connection that Desktop Manager uses is to register the PIN number and to check for updates and down the new updates. But it does not continue constantly.
I would see if you can use BlackBerry Desktop Software without the 3rd party add-on unless you tried before, to see if it's a third party add-on causing the issue or Desktop Manager.
I look forward to your results.

System (ntoskrnl.exe) high cpu usage in Windows 8.1

Sir/Mam,
I'm having this issue since last week, when i checked it is the "system" (ntoskrnl.exe) file which is using upto 18-24% of my CPU and causing all other applications to stutter for a second (incluuding Media player, mouse pointer, everything).
By using a Process Explorer software i found out that it's related to these values running under that file:
" ntoskrnl.exe!RtlSidHashLookup+0x1ffc "
It slows down my PC for a second and it happens after every 5-6 seconds (approx.).
Using Microsoft Windows 8.1
Lenovo Z50-70
Need help.

Hi,
The WPA shows that it is WmiPrvSE.exe (WMI Provider Host)that occupies up to 20% CPU, and three threads are the causes, 8328\7988\8828. but hard to find deeper information from this, so please use process Explorer or process monitor to find more information
about WmiPrvSE.exe and the 3 threads, you can refer to this link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/77f8bc7d-663c-4c33-b732-f362c5585300/service-host-local-system-is-intermittently-using-30-of-my-cpu-windows-81?forum=w8itproperf
Regarding to the wireless or LAN driver, I suggest you update the driver to latest version if it doesn't work fine.

High CPU usage for SERVER0 process in XI

Hi,
SERVER0 process is taking high CPU usage, previously it happen once its due to communication channel error, So we deativated some unwanted communication channels in Alert config and the CPU usage is reduced.
After some weeks its again CPU usage is increasing for SERVER0 process in some time.
Can anyone help in this case.
Thank you,
gopi.

Hi Gopi,
Check out Tim's reply and check for ur Java stack settings,
Extended Memory parameters
<i>The bottom line for J stacks is to keep everything in memory and out of swap. </i>
Other tips:
- u may try clearing folder usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps
- try increasing virtual memory
- increase heap size

High cpu usage during JSF lifecycle phase execution

Even if it is legal, have you tried moving them out of there (just to pinpoint a possible bug since the stacktrace indicates a wait on a jar file)?Indeed. If that clears up the issue it is good information to put in a JSF bug report (which may even cascade to the Glassfish level).
Putting resources in a jar file is only really useful when you want to share those resources among different web applications, which should be a rare case. Even when it happens I would probably still choose to simply copy the resources so they are individually managed and you don't get unnecessary dependencies between applications. Just because something is technically possible doesn't make it a good idea.

EA2: high CPU usage with large packages

EA2 + Debian GNU/Linux + jdk1.6.0_04 + Pentium IV 2,8 GHz 1 GBytes RAM
Opening large packages (> 6.000 rows) I have high CPU usage (100%) for about 50-60 seconds. Same problem when I working with these packages
Ciao
Davide

Opening works fine for me, and memory seems to be
contained. Working inside the package on occasions
still boosts CPU like you.Attempting to edit an 800 line type body utilises 100% CPU as soon as typing starts.

SBS 2011 - High CPU usage - Help me Microsoft forums! You're my only hope!

My company supports a client that has a SBS 2011 server. For about the past year, we've been fighting a recurring issue with performance on this server. There are about ten local users and four remote users. The server's CPU idles at
about 60%-80% but is usally running when under *any* load from 80%-100%. If you do anything on the console, it will stay pretty much at 100%. These are not power users by any means. The server is utilized for file/printer sharing, Exchange
2010, and one flat file database application (non-SQL). SharePoint is not utilized.
Needless to say, our client is frustrated. When opening files, using their database application, or doing anything Exchange-related, there is a large amount of lag on the client side. First, here are the server's specs:
Make:Dell PowerEdge T420
OS: SBS 2011 Standard SP1
CPU: 2 - Intel Xeon E5-2407
Memory: 32GB
RAID: RAID 1 - Operating System (C:)/Data Volume (E:) | RAID 5 - Data Volume (D:)
Here is what we have tried to resolve this to finality:
* Doubled resources - Initially the server had a single physical processor and 16GB of memory. While these specs alone should have been fine, and were fine when the server was installed, we had periods of time where the server would just sit all day at
100% usage. We doubled the resources and while this seemed like it would fix the issue, we are still seeing abnormally high processor usage.
* Removed all monitoring tools, antivirus, and backup software - As part of our testing, we removed our monitoring agent (LabTech) and antivirus (GFI Vipre). Mozy is utilized for an off-site backup so that was disabled. No dice.
* Verified updates - We made absolutely sure the server was 100% patched.
* Malware/Virus/Rootkit checks - We have ran scans checking for any potential issues with security.
* Ran MBSA and MBCA to fix any issues with the server's configuration.
There is no single process which is using all of the CPU, or we would simply be able to narrow it down. Our calls to Microsoft support have yielded no answers. The last call ended with Microsoft stating that a SBS server should always be running
at high CPU usage. Meanwhile, we have many other clients with less-beefy servers, with more users, who have no issues like these.
So, I'm turning to you all. I will gladly provide logs, configuration settings, even remote assistance sessions if you all can help shed some light on what might be causing my issues.
Thank you!

Some comments/ideas:
How long was the server running after this screenshot? I ask because store.exe is only got a 1GB of RAM which is really low - it should grab most of the RAM within a few hours.
The server was up for about 12 hours. I believe an adjustment was made before to limit the Exchange memory usage.
Strange that SearchIndexer (wsearch service) is so high although that may be a startup condition.
The LT* processes seem to be a 3rd party monitoring tool - no idea why it would ever need that much CPU though (I thought you disabled this?).
We had, but we cannot go forever without monitoring our client's server. It has been pulled off in the past and results on performance are pretty much the same.
The taskmgr process run by amnet_admin has used a lot of total CPU Time. What is it? (can't see the command line).
That's the user I was logged in as when I took the screenshot. Even the task manager seems to eat up the CPU.
The sqlserver process right above it is also busy - may want to look at the command line and figure out which SQL database that is (SBS has 3 - WSUS, Sharepoint, and SBS monitoring)
I believe that's the SharePoint database. They don't currently use their site. Would you recommend a removal and reinstallation? I would not completely remove as I know SBS doesn't like you removing parts of the complete package.
Strange that vds.exe is 10% - that is the interface to the disk management interface IIRC. Perhaps your monitoring service has gone awry here - definitely lose it.
I'll see about pulling it off and I'll see if there are any improvements.

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!

NSPIbind process High CPU usage

Hi all,
We have a exchange forest and 3 sub domains in that forest. In total we have around the 34000 mailboxen.
No we experience problems with all the domain controllers (also GC) that they have huge cpu usage. when we run a AD diagnostic in the perfmon we see that the LSASS is a part of the problemen and a process called NSPIbind (name service provider interface?).
When I try to look for people with simulair issues there is just one other person with this problem..

We also tried his suggestions but there is no improvement.
We need help....
- Windows 2008 R2
- Exchange 2010
- 1 forest, 3 domains (8 domain controllers, all GC)

Hi Sader82,
Based on your description, I can find that you have refer to a suggestion from a similar question. The hotfix package (KB2500682)
was mentioned. Did you mean you have installed it and enable the NSPI caching feature, however there was no improvement?
In addition, please refer to the following articles and troubleshoot this issue.

By the way, you describe the LSASS is a part of the CPU usage problem. So, please temporarily disable security software and perform a
clean boot in Windows to check if some third-party software conflicts.
Hope this helps.

W3wp.exe High CPU

I know this question has been asked a lot, but I haven't really been able to find a definitive guide.
We are running SharePoint 2013 March CU on a Windows 2012 box (24 GB RAM). We have a web application that "randomly" causes our CPU usage on the server to spike at 99%. Unfortunately, it doesn't correct itself until we recycle the application pool
in question. What's interesting is that end users don't really notice a performance hit. However, if we want to do things in Central Administration it creates havoc on the rest of our web applications on the box ultimately causing everything to time
out.
I've narrowed the issue down to a particular application pool. Per Microsoft's best practice, this application pool only has one web application associated with it. I am trying to figure out the root cause of the issue and was wondering if I could get some
suggestions or guidance on what I can do from here. I have Process Monitor installed on the server and can trace the PID, however, I am having a hard time figuring out how to narrow down the results.
We do have a custom farm solution that I believe to be the issue, however, I have no way of definitively saying that this is the issue.
There are some other PowerShell scripts that are not disposing of objects properly and I have contacted each script owner to modify their scripts to correct that issue. With that said, I ran each script individually and they didn't cause the CPU to spike
(even when they didn't dispose of the objects properly).
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

is it single server farm or whats the role of the server in farm?
also things to check / monitor if this start during the Search Crawl or Profile Snyc or Web Analytics.
easy way( not easy) is use the DebugDiag tool to investigate which stuff cause the issue.

We have a two server farm. Application/Web Front End and a Database server.
Crawls don't seem to be an issue. I've preformed crawls with little to no impact on CPU usage.
I will attempt the DebugDiag tool and let you know my results.

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:
