Fix Service Host Local Service Network Restricted High CPU Usage
159Fix Service Host Local Service Network Restricted High CPU Usage.
On some Windows 10 PCs, the “Service Host: Local System (Network Restricted)” process group in the Task Manager can use a high amount of CPU, disk, and memory resources. Here’s how to fix it.
We recently noticed this problem on one of our Windows 10 PCs. We determined the Superfetch service was the problem, although the Windows Task Manager didn’t point that out.
Superfetch is only enabled on PCs with traditional mechanical hard drives—not solid-state drives. It watches to see the applications you use most frequently and loads their files into RAM to speed things up when you launch them. On Windows 10, a bug may occasionally cause Superfetch to use a ridiculous amount of system resources.
To fix this problem, we recommend disabling the Superfetch service. You should only disable the Superfetch service if you’re actually having this problem, as it can speed up application launching if you have a mechanical hard drive. However, if the Superfetch process is out of control and gobbling up all your resources, disabling it will speed up your PC.
