problem with svchost.exe

i ok I have messed up,:sad:

I have deleted C:\WINDOWS\system32\CMMGR32.EXE, and created new account.

svchost.exe at the start also did run full speed, but after some more restarts it did not. I made sure it runs every hour, for about 5 minutes. First run at 14.00 second at 15.03, third at 16.25, (as I started laptop at 16.20)

and secondly I am now can not log in with my first user account, (only with new account), when I restart just one new user appears for logging in.
I have all my emails etc set back to old account.

Is there any way to enter old account to copy all to new account? Or how can I enable old account as well? If I copy cmmrg32.exe back would it work? But I do not have the file anymore
 
Hello :)

Hmm this is strange...the file you deleted was 0 bytes on size so it wasn't working correctly anyway....It wasn't legitimate

Please follow these intructions and run the system file check utility. You might have more files missing.

Please go to Control Panel -> User acounts
Does your old account appear there?

Hi
I am currently running the utility, it is good I had CD, I will post the results what it says

I checked Control panel user's list and there is only new account listed there. Regarding the old documents then they are listed in here C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator

but when I go to My Computer, then I have listed there:
shared documents folder and "new account documents" folder, but logically there should have been extra folder "Administrator documents" (old account)
 
OK I have run scannow sfc several times (why, as I though some report would appear, but it did not), copied i386 folder before scanning to c drive, changed in the registry as prompted D to C for looking up i386 folder.

The scan created new folder (I asume) C:\WINDOWS\LastGood\system32\dllcache, with 1071 files created size 149Mb,

in the user accounts still just new account.

CMMGR32.EXE file was not created so it is not looking good. and as I restarted then svchost.exe ran again at full speed. :sad:
 
OK good :)

Hmm there was a similar case where the svchost problem was related to the Windows Automatic Updates. So let's see if it is the same case here.

Disable the Automatic Updates temporarily:
Start -> Run -> Copy this to the box and hit enter: sysdm.cpl
Choose the Automatic Updates-tab
Check the Do not update automatically -option and hit Ok
Restart the computer.
Does the svchost.exe problem still appear ?

Hi again,
after i have disabled automatic updates, the problem with svchost.exe has disappeared. So it seems the problem was in the automatic updates as you mentioned. I guess I will just stick with updates being disabled and run updates once a week.

:bigthumb: Thanks for help I appreciate it.
 
Hello and sorry for the delay, I had problems with the internet connection...

Ok nice to hear that we found the cause. You could now try if installing this hotfix helps -> Link
Install it, restart the computer and trun the updates on and see how it works.

If it doesn't wrok then it is best to disable the automatic updates temporarily and wait for Microsoft to release a fix.

Hi,
tried updating and downloaded that hotfix, actually I found it already installed on my computer. So after enabling automatic updates, svchost runs at 100% as usual, for several minutes then stops. So I made it clear I would stick just with updates off, as nothing else seems to work, and hope at some stage there will be this update or bug fix issued by microsoft.

We tried found problem, but not much to do, but thanks for making this clear:bigthumb:
