Wi-Fi and High Memory Usage

KazTehDee · November 29, 2019

Hello, I've been having problems with my wi-fi for the past three days. It will stop working randomly and I need to switch on and off the modem to be able to get it started again. I'm getting annoyed with having to going to the living room every 10 mins to do this. Anyone know the problem?

I've also been having problems with my ram. My ram just started going up randomly yesterday. It's average is about 90%. I am sure it's a program called Service Host. I have never had this problem until now. Any solutions other than buying new ram sticks? I have 8gb of Ram.

... I don't have a perfect solution for this but I can tell you high ram / cpu / disc usage on Windows is sometimes just its normal operation because windows likes doing a lot of stuff in the background (preparing updates etc)

The good news is this will (should) go away after a few days - if it doesn't you really have an issue though with your system.

Also did you do a virus scan?

I recommend Malwarebytes, ADW and Windows defender.

Some Malware uses this windows process name, so it's always a bit suspicious to have it using a lot of resources.

I would definitely do a virus scan with aforementioned programs, if you have any other AV installed disable them for the time being.

If It does go away in a few days I will love you for giving me this answer. And yes, I did a scan and it said there was no malware and virus. I even had it clean up junk files.
