Hey, I see what’s going on. Your PC is using around 2.8 to 3.0 GB of RAM even when idle, which is higher than expected. It might be due to background processes or startup apps. Checking Task Manager or the System Monitor can help identify what’s consuming the memory.

You might need to disable it through the settings or control panel.

Svchost.exe is a Windows service that assists developers in creating Windows services without needing to compile them fully. It offers a limited set of capabilities that it can run through a linked DLL. Many software creators, including Microsoft, rely on it because they don’t require full system power and have robust, secure backends for users. To identify which service connects to what—especially if it appears as another program with the same name (potentially malicious)—open the command line in the Command Prompt. You’ll see the complete path and the associated DLL or group. Click the columns area in Task Manager, choose "Select columns," then check the box for "command line" and click OK. After this step, the "Command line" column will appear, allowing you to inspect the details and resolve any issues.
