Hello,
I kinda have a problem, we'll atleast i think i do. Whenever my pc boots up, CPU usage is like 30-60% for 10 minutes after startup. I've checked process explorer and it looks like a process called svchost.exe (netsvc) is behind this problem. To be more exact, its the services i think, IP helper and group policy client takes 25% CPU usage each for 10 mins after startup. So maybe anyone had similar problem if its a problem at all. My pc is pretty good, quad core etc. Btw i tried to boot w/o those services and everything was ok. So, any ideas? Oh and i just found out when i renew my connetion the 10 minute 40% cpu usage comes back.
Thanks in advance

It seems like you are experiencing high CPU usage after booting up your PC, primarily caused by the svchost.exe (netsvc) process hosting services like IP helper and Group Policy Client. This issue could be related to these specific services. Here are some steps you can take to address this problem: 1. Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Sometimes, Microsoft releases updates that address performance issues and bugs related to system processes. 2. Check for Malware: Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or a reputable antivirus program to check for any malware that might be causing the high CPU usage. 3.

Sometimes, Microsoft releases updates that address performance issues and bugs related to system processes. 2. Check for Malware: Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or a reputable antivirus program to check for any malware that might be causing the high CPU usage. 3. Disable Specific Services: Since you identified the IP helper and Group Policy Client services as the culprits, you can try disabling them temporarily to see if the CPU usage decreases. Here's how you can do it: - Press Win + R to open the Run dialog. - Type services.msc and hit Enter. - Locate the IP helper service and Group Policy Client service. - Right-click on each service, select Properties, and set the Startup type to Disabled. - Reboot your PC and check if the CPU usage decreases. 4. Investigate Network Configuration: Since you mentioned that renewing your connection triggers the CPU usage, there could be an issue with the network adapter or its settings. You can try updating the network drivers or resetting network settings to default. 5. Resource Monitor: Use the built-in Resource Monitor tool in Windows to get more detailed information about which processes are utilizing CPU resources the most. It can help you identify any other potential troublemakers. 6. Event Viewer: Check the Windows Event Viewer for any related errors or warnings that might provide more insight into what is causing the high CPU usage. 7. Third-Party Tools: If the built-in tools do not provide enough detail, you can use third-party software like Process Explorer or Process Monitor to get more in-depth information about the processes causing high CPU usage. By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and potentially resolve the high CPU usage issue caused by the IP helper and Group Policy Client services. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
