Hi Becky616

It looks like the svchost process running is the Windows Update. When you reinstalled the system all windows updates are removed. It will recheck for the updates it needs which could take a considerable long time.

Can you check the windows updates settings and see if it is currently checking for updates?

Hi Bruce.

All updates loaded and that's what was causing computer to be so sluggish. Computer is running good. The CPU usage is way down to. Now the only thing is IE 11 been not responding and is slow at loading pages. I tried no add ons and I did a reset but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions. Thank you so much everything you said was dead on. Thanks for all the help.

Hi Becky616

Ok. Try running a system file scan to see if that helps.


SFC Scan

1.
  • Open an elevated command prompt. To do this,
  • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
  • Type Command Prompt in the Search box, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  • If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

    2. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it and press enter.

    sfc /scannow

    Please note: there is one space between the c and the /

    3.Let the scan complete.

    If you get the message "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations" this means all is OK. Give internet explorer a try and let me know what happens.

    If you get any other message then copy and paste the following command at the command prompt and press enter

    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

    4.This will create a file, sfcdetails.txt on your Desktop.
    5.Type exit to close the command prompt window.
    6.Open file sfcdetails.txt and copy/paste this in your next reply.
    7.If the file is too large you can zip the file and attach to your post.
