Hello All, I have a server 2008 R2 Standard edition 64Bit, for the past few days memory utilization has been very high and constant not reducing. When i check the system resource monitor i notice that svchost.exe(LoocalServiceNetworkRestricted) is consumin about 7GB out of the Total 8GB. Please what can i do to stop this process from consuming high memory. The last time i stopped this process event log stopped working. See snapshot below. Thank you
