Go to Start/Run, and type MSCONFIG then look at the STARTUP TAB, to uncheck unwanted, checked items

Unchecking everything will not stop the basic system from starting, and may indicate that it is something there.

From a command line, TASKLIST /SVC will give you a PID to compare with the results of NETSTAT /ANO.

This will show what is using svchost.

If it is a basic system error. To repair all system files, go to Start/Run, and type (or paste in): SFC /SCANNOW
