Probably Windows Update. Right click the svchost and click go to services to see what it's running. – David Marshall Jul 11 '16 at 09:41

The other question (so far) shows more useful information for narrowing it down, since many types of processes run under the blanket of svchost.exe. – GuitarPicker Jul 11 '16 at 13:54

It's the windows update. You can stop this by disabling windows updates or by waiting for it to finish its job, which may take long.
