SVCHOST.EXE shows up in the Task Manager, sucking up system resources, and this has been a problem for years.
Sure, the OS development at MS is a monstrosity, but they aren’t incompetent — this is all about pushing more and more crap into the pile, slowing down the older CPUs, so people will buy new hardware, and hence, new (licensed) copies of the newest OS.
IOW, nice of ‘em to spend a long weekend to fix the problem, now that XP has been in use for a decade or so, and just before support on that OS has its plug pulled, but don’t think an analogous problem won’t recur. And the fix may not wind up fixing anything.
Thanks Utilizer.
Welcome, mate. Always glad to see someone get help from a posting on FR.
