Suddenly you might notice that your system has become slower and upon further investigation, you might find that a process named svchost.exe, linked to Diagnostic Policy Service, is taking up lots of your CPU power and memory. Other symptoms include your system heating up soon or the laptop fan becoming too loud. Nothing in the error logs, no traces of the problem creator.
Diagnostic service runs in the Windows OS to detect and troubleshoot problems with the Windows components. This service is required to run the Diagnostics utility in Windows and it is a background service which means it is automatically started when you boot your system and keep running as long as the system is on. If this service is consuming an abnormally high amount of CPU and RAM then this will make the overall functioning of the Windows slow to respond to other processes and the user faces a lagging problem.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
