Occasionally, perhaps once every day or 2, my computer slows to a crawl. Upon
viewing the process list using Process Explorer, I see that wscntfy.exe,
running under an instance of svchost, is using 90+% of the CPU. This goes
away after a few minutes, but is very annoying.
I read that I shouldn't kill wscntfy, so my current workaround is to change
the priority using Process Explorer for both to Idle (4), which seems to
help, but is reset to Normal (8) whenever I reboot.
Is there some way to eliminate the problem? If not, how can I, and should I,
reduce the priority for these processes more permanently?
