svchost.exe(netsvcs) causes disk endless running...
Yesterday my HDD was busy running for 20 or more minutes. So I took a look at Resource Moniter, it show "svchost.exe(netsvcs)"is keep writing something and I wait for another 10 minutes but no luck.After reboot it not happen again. I guess this related to Windows Update (Patch Tuesday?), any suggestions?

Hi,Have you checked in Event Viewer? Is there any error message related in the event of service crashing? If the issue occurs again, please try to use Resource Monitor to suspend svchost.exe(netsvcs) and manually stop Windows Update Service, then resume svchost.exe(netsvcs) to see if it works. This would help us identify if it is related to Windows Update.Best Regards.Dale Qiao

Its the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" (svchost.exe -k netsvcs) which is eating up your bandwidth. In order to sort your bug just 1.Go to the "Services" 2.Right Click on "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" and select "Properties". 3.you can "Stop" the Service from there. 4.And in order to prevent this service from starting again, you can select "Manual" as its "Startup type" In order to open "Services"....Right Click on "My Computer"....then Select "Manage".....then click on "Services and Applications" displayed on left-hand side list......then select "Services". This was all,I think this is gonna help u. Good Luck!!
