The popup was being created by a small application file located in a "roaming" folder. When disabled the popup stopped. I have removed the offending file and the problem has gone away --...

When my wife's Win 10 (64 bit Pro) PC boots, it get a "RegSvr32" Message with a simple "X" in the box. There is no specificity as to what the error (if any) is -- just the simple popup box with an...

Your thought process and concerns mirror mine. Now my CPU usage is running about 1% at idle. FYI, I just purchased another PC (built by Puget Systems) running Win 10 and its CPU usage at idle is...

I'll check that out. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for the information. Being able to selectively move a program from one PC to another -- in my case both Win 10 PCs -- would be perfect. I'll look into both PCTrans and PCMover.

I've been looking at Laplink PC Mover. It looks promising. What I'm having trouble learning is if it (and similar programs) will move programs between two Win 10 PCs. I would not run both PCs at...

Dear LCDR,

I was a 1LT on active duty -- during the Vietnam era -- but that's another story. I certainly don't want to duplicate a single-use license program. I'm currently using numerous...

Dear LCDR,

I've read the re-deploying article you cite. It looks promising. I've sent in a RFI to Macrium to get their advice.

It looks like there are several alternative routes to get the...

I have the paid version. I think it's outstanding!

I just received a new Win 10 PC with a 500 Gb SSD for my primary drive (OS and programs) and an internal 1Tb conventional HDD for my data (library).

I would like to transfer my programs and files...

I've taken this bad boy to the computer repair shop in our community. The technician believes it a BIOS problem and will be installing the appropriate BIOS. I read him your reply. Thanks for your...

I tried it. No such luck. It says I have the best driver for the device. Any other thoughts?
Thanks...

John, I have not. I got into this mess attempting to update my BIOS. I assumed that Gigabyte and not Microsoft would have the updates for the SATA controller. But I'm no expert. If you think...

I built my Intel i5 PC in 2010. The mobo is the Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3 "Ultra Durable"... After recently upgrading to Windows 10, I attempted to upgrade my RAM from 4 to 8 GB. My mobo did not...

It took me two download attempts to get the entire 2.87 GIGABYTE file to download. After it did download, it installed without any issues but the one, high CPU usage -- the subject of this thread. ...

Here is the article: Windows 10 High CPU Usage Fixes - Softpedia
The first method described worked -- perfectly and immediately. No coincidence.

The above regedit method worked PERFECTLY for me. I've just posted how dramatic the improvement was -- from a constant ~30% CPU usage to a relatively constant ~2% CPU usage. The other dramatic...

Well now... I found the following in a Softpedia post and gave it a try. Guess what?! It worked perfectly. My CPU usage went from a constant 30 to a constant TWO (2). My CPU temp went from 50+...

Fascinating. I will let this puppy run for a few days and monitor the CPU usage and CPU temperatures. There seems to be a direct correlation. I would think that as I downloaded from the Microsoft...

I posted my issue on another sub-forum and received a reply indicating that my PC was simply updating and that the CPU usage would settle down in a day or two. I will wait and see if that is the...

GREAT! I'll let her run....

How long will this take?

The specific service that is using 25% of the CPU is the Windows update services "wuauser". It is part of the svchost.exe. I hope you can zoom in and see what's going on. Thanks for your comments....

Yesterday, I upgraded from Win 7 pro x64 to Win 10 pro x64. I have a "clean machine" without any traces of viruses or malware. My Win 7 PC ran flawlessly.

My Win 7 PC used little or no CPU...

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I am hesitant to disable the svchost.exe. Have you had any issues since you disabled that program?

Thanks,

Louis
