taskmanager screenshot of svchost processes enter image description here

Original Source

i've searched the net, and apparently this should be normal. in forums, i see people having 8, 10, even 20 instances. but i counted mine, and it reached 68. maybe this is the reason why one core of my cpu is way more loaded than the others, affecting my gaming experience. please help :(

here's a screenshot of process explorer and the cpu load graphs: Process Explorer Screenshot

    I would install Process Hacker, which is a task manager replacement. It'll show you exactly what is behind every process in a detailed manner. – LPChip Jun 04 '17 at 07:04

Starting with Windows 10 version 1703, 64bit systems with more than 3.5GB RAM run each service in its own service host. The resource saving rationale of running several services in the same host has been outweighed by the reliabity aspects.

You can use Process Explorer by System Internals to see what services these svchosts are running. If the exes aren't in the right place you might have a virus problem.
