Hi,
After solving a lot driver issues and lagging issues, I got a stable (at least in terms of speed) Windows 10. However, whenever I connect the PC to Internet, svchost.exe started using almost whole speed.
It not just slow down what I wanted to do but also wastes my limited data (yeah, no unlimited pack!). So, can someone help me to stop these processes to use Internet?
Please help me, thank you!

Hello people from the future!
OP probably have already found a solution to his/her problem - but I'd just like to inform of all others that land on this page that I experienced similar problems here in november of 2017.

It was due to a large windows 10 update, that the BITS-service would use all of my (very limited, and shared) bandwidth to download. I had spikes of using 100% of my network bandwidth from the process svchost in the middle of gameplay. Frustrating, to say the least.

The solution: was to use gpedit.msc to edit a policy regarding the BITS-service.See this post for further details (or google "limit windows update bandwidth usage") https://thomas-barthelemy.github.io/...bandwidth/Hope this solves the problem for somebody struggling!Kind regards

To set a bandwidth rule on the BITS:

To open the Local Group Policy Editor from the command line:
Click Start , type gpedit.msc in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

Navigate to Administrative Templates -> Network -> Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
Open Limit the maximum network bandwidth for BITS background transfersSet it to Enabled
Set the time range and maximum transfer rate
OK

There is a tutorial from Brink that shows you hot to do this without the need for gpedit (which is only in Pro, Home does not have it).
