We will cover the most common reasons for resource hogging in one of the sections below. In most cases, the high resource usage is caused by a misconfigured service or a problem with a Windows update. While the Service Host Network Service is an essential part of Windows, it can sometimes consume a lot of resources, resulting in slow performance and network issues. It acts as a “host” for all of these other services and facilitates communication between them. This is where the Service Host Network Service comes in. The Windows operating system needs all the Service Host processes to run correctly, and communicate with one another. When scrolling through your Task Manager, you’ll see a ton of Service Hostnames, this is because each one is responsible for hosting a different group of services from things like the Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs), the DHCP Client, the DNC Client, and even the Windows Event Log. It is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, is constantly running, and is responsible for connecting all of the Service Host processes. The Service Host Network Service, also known as svchost.exe, is a valid Windows process that runs in the background of your system. What is the Service Host: Network Service? If it’s a lot, then this is likely why your computer is performing slowly and having network connectivity issues. Take note of how much CPU and Network Bandwidth it’s using.
Open up the Task Manager with CTRL + ALT + DEL, and scroll through until you see Service Host Network Service (svchost.exe). This is to see if the Service Host Network Service is hogging up all of your computer’s resources.įor those unfamiliar with the Task Manager, it is a utility tool that allows you to see the status of all running processes, and the amount of CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network Usage they are taking up.
If you’ve recently noticed your computer slowing down, one of the first things to check is the Windows Task Manager.
