windows slowdown

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have had a few users tell me their computers are going slow on our
network. I've downloaded 'Process Explorer' from Microsoft (sysinternals) and
looked at the display, and I'm basically getting a svchost.exe process that
is taking about 99% of the resources for a long time. When I hover my mouse
over svchost I see a long list of Services that are running starting with
Application Management, Automatic Updates and ending with Wireless Zero
Configuration & Workstation.
In the right window I see something like this:

Services 472 0.99
svchost.exe 648
wmiprvse 3364
svchost.exe 692
svchost.exe 784 99.05
wuauclt.exe 3272
svchost.exe 828

My question is, what now? How do I narrow my search down so I can see what
is hogging all the resources?

Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Hi Steve,
Turn OFF Windows Updates and see if your issue will resolve, if not then I
will go behind a bad RAM or a memory leakage which you need to run the memory
dump and.

The Wmiprvse.exe process consumes an ever-increasing amount of memory when
you enumerate the MSCluster_ResourceToPossibleOwner class on a Windows Server
