Serviceshost: Network support – improving delivery efficiency – CPU usage remains at 17% continuously
Hi, My windows 10 laptop has for the past couple of weeks now had an issiue where the Servicehost: Networkservice is constantly using about 17% of my CPU. Normally my pc could get down to about 4% CPU usage on idle. But now it is at least 18% because of this. Making my fans spin up when another fore- or background proces starts running. I tried shutting the Delivery service down via the Services window. But this did not work. It said: "Can't stop Delivery Service on local computer" "Error 1053: The service did not respond correctly on the start or driver" Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it? Thank you.
It might be about Windows updates being installed or downloaded. Windows 10 has a function that shares parts of updates already saved on your device with other PCs. By default, it sends them to nearby LAN devices and those online. Launch the Settings app, go to "Update and Security," then select "Delivery Optimization." You can choose to limit sharing to local PCs or disable it entirely.
I verified whether the Windows update was functioning properly, but it wasn't. The latest update had already been installed. After that, I ran a virus scan and Bitdefender recommended restarting my PC for updates. The issue was resolved then. However, restarting again last time didn’t fix it. I noticed the Windows updates sharing over LAN was enabled, which I had previously disabled. I discovered this earlier but it didn’t work. Restarting seemed necessary to disable that feature. Thank you for your assistance.
