Hello IAjoe,1. What is the complete error message you get?2. Have you made any recent changes to the computer(Hardware or Software) before having this issue?I suggest that you try the below methods to fix this issue.Method 1:You can check the event viewer for any application or System failure and find the faulty module that is causing the Windows service host error. You can refer the below article that will give you information on ‘How to view error messages in Event Viewer’:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947321Method 2:Set your computer to clean boot and check if the Host service crashes randomly as this could be caused by some of the Third Party services running in the background. You can refer the below article that will give you information on ‘How to set computer to clean boot’:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353Thanks,Irfan H, Microsoft Answers Support Engineer.
