svchost.exe (netsvcs) network usage problem

hellotokki · 24 Aug 2017

Hello all,
I have a problem where a svchost process is using up all my bandwidth, making everything else that requires network extremely laggy. I've attached a screenshot of the process in question and the associated services. Windows Update and BITS are already disabled.
Thank you.

Go to Microsoft.com and download Process Explorer. It will show you the subprocesses under it. We always had issues with a stupid subprocess on our workstations when I worked for the State of Illinois. Killing it fixed it until they were able to get it fixed. It was always a headache, in that it was a process related to a script that they ran when you logged in.
