Summary
Most of users complain that the error “svchost.exe service host: local system (network restricted)” accounts for too much CPU. The error will slow down the computer even make some programs corrupted. In this essay, we will put forward some effective methods to fix the error.
Part 1: About svchost.exe
1. What is Svchost.exe
Svchost.exe is a non-stop process on the Windows operating system. Svchost means “service host”, a center collecting various services in Windows. Many programs can independently perform files as executable, such as .exe. However, most of services are displayed in the form of DLL which cannot run separately. Therefore, svchost will load and perform these services. For example, Windows Update is one of the component services in svchost.exe. One or more services can be inside a svchost.exe instance.
The process of svchost.exe is organized by the logical groups. These groups are classified as the system, local services and network services, all of which are compiled as .dll. Since it is service, it still runs in the background and waits for making response even though no user logs in the account or uses the system.
2. Reason of Error “Svchost.exe Service Host: Local System (Network Restricted)”
The error “svchost.exe service host: local system (network restricted)” occurs because the service host contains many Windows services and component services. One or more running services will take up the large amount of CPU, RAM and the other resources. However, as 90% of the disk has been used up, this error should be fixed. Or, the extremely high usage will damage the computer.
The error often appears in Windows 8 and Windows 10. If the svchost.exe service host: local system (network restricted) error leads your computer to become stuck or even corrupted, you can refer to the below methods to fix.
Part 2: Check Computer and Identify svchost.exe Processes prior to Fixing
1. Scan virus
First, you should check whether the svchost.exe is attacked by virus. In some cases, the virus-carried programs will sustain the hidden status in the name of svchost. If the file is stored in the Windows/system 32 folder, it is basically not a virus. But it is suggested that you scan the computer with the anti-virus software.
2. Open Task Manager
For Windows 8/10 users, it is outdated to use the command lines or Process Explorer to check. Next, we will introduce the quick method:
① Press [Ctrl + Shift + ESC] to open Task Manager. In the tab [Processes], scroll down to find [Windows processes].
② Expand [Service Host: Local Service (Network Restricted)] and view each item.
If the item is not part of the Windows processes, like Windows Update and Windows firewall, you can end the task. But the error is usually related to the Windows processes.
If you want to fix the svchost.exe error, please try these methods:
Method 1: Close Superfetch Service
Superfetch service is responsible for pre-loading data from hard disk to RAM. Although it can improve the computer’s performance, the process often uses lots of CPU. It is suggested that you disenable the service and check if it helps to solve the problem.
① In the Windows search box, type [services] and choose [Services] from the results.
② When in Services, find [Superfetch], right-click on it and choose [Stop]. Finally, restart the computer.
Method 2: Enable SFC and DISM Scans
Corrupted or deleted system files may be the reason for Service host: Local system (Network restricted) error. Therefore, running SFC and DISM scans help to restore these files and fix the error.
① Search [cmd] in the Windows search box. Then, right-click at it and select [Run as administrator].
② In the Command Prompt, type [sfc /scannow] and click Enter.
③ The scan should finish in about 10 minutes. If some issues were detected and fixed, you will see the result.
④ If SFC scan was ineffective, you should run DISM scan:
Run Command Prompt as administrator again, but type the following command and press Enter: [DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth]. After a few minutes, if the issue has not be solved, you should proceed with the third method.
Method 3: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
Sometimes, the problems of Windows Updates may be the reason for the Service host: Local system (Network restricted) error. Therefore, you can run the troubleshooter to test if there is something wrong.
① Press [Win + I] and open [Settings].
② In Settings, navigate to [Update & Security].
③ Open [Troubleshoot] > [Windows Update] > [Run the troubleshooter].
④ When the scan is over, check whether the error exists.
Если компьютер работает медленно и во вкладке «Процессы» в Диспетчере задач видите, что один или несколько процессов svchost.exe грузит процессор на 100%, то это проблема решаемая. Она типична для Windows 7, но иногда может проявляться и в более новых версиях ОС.
Для чего нужен svchost.exe?
С его помощью система подгружает компоненты, хранящиеся в динамических dll-библиотеках. Это появилось в Windows 7 и именно здесь процесс чаще всего существенно замедляет ПК.
Как исправить ошибку с svchost.exe?
Сначала проверьте, что установлены все обновления Windows — иногда перенагрузка svchost.exe вызывается тем, что не все апдейты были догружены, а ОС циклически «возвращается» к ним. Если не поможет, то выполняйте следующие действия.
- Проведите полную чистку и проверку ОС. Процесс зачастую используют вирусы для получения доступа к ресурсам компьютера. Это обнаруживается, если в строке svchost.exe в столбце «Пользователь» указано что иное, кроме Network Service, Local Service и System. Запустите проверку всех дисков вашим антивирусом. Далее используйте антивирусные утилиты наподобие Rescue Disk или CureIt. Еще стоит нажать комбинацию клавиш Win+R, ввести запрос msconfig и запустить его при помощи Enter. В окне «Конфигурация системы» идите на вкладку «Автозагрузка» и касательно первого критерия «Элементы автозагрузки» не должно быть поля «svchost.exe» и галочки напротив. Если галочка там стоит, то снимите ее. Сохраните изменение — система сама спросит об этом и лучше выбрать перезагрузку.
- Исследуйте проблему при помощи Microsoft Sysinternals Process Explorer. Скачайте ее с официального сайта и установите. Это своего рода «прокачанный» Диспетчер задач. После запуска утилиты найдите в ней строку svchost.exe, которая грузит систему и наведите на нее мышку. Всплывающее окно сообщит все детали о проблемном процессе. Проще всего отключить этот процесс, но с высокой вероятностью после перегрузки проблема появится снова. Предпочтительней исследовать сбойный сервис, который обращается к svchost.exe. Хорошо, если это что-то постороннее от Windows — к примеру, программа для настройки звуковой карты. В любом случае ищите (при помощи Google, Яндекс) корень проблемы касательно конкретно этой глючной службы. Не имеет значения что это: DHCP-сервер или видеодрайвер. Почему-то ОС не может корректно обработать запросы этого сервиса, чрезмерно нагружая процессор.
Issue: Each time I start my computer I get an annoying error: svchost.exe – Application Error. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Solved Answer
At some point, Windows started launching internal services from .dll files[1] instead of .exe files. However, it is not possible to launch .dll files in the same way .exe files are started, so developers created Svchost.exe (Service Host).
Svchost.exe is a universal service that is used by many different hosting[2] containers. Each of them can run (unlimited) amount of system services, and they are all connected into a set of groups.
However, while the service is legitimate and used by many programs, several errors are encountered by users, and they are always looking how to fix Svchost.exe Application Error. Our team compiled a guide which would help users with this issue.
There are several different variations of Svchost.exe Application Error, some of those include:

- The instruction at 0x00007FFA78E93CF5 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000000. The memory could not be “read.”
Now, there are several reasons why users can encounter Svchost.exe Application Error. In most cases, the problem is related to Windows updates which got corrupted or interrupted during installation. This issue can be solved by rolling back latest Windows updates.

Don’t pay ransomware authors – use alternative data recovery options
Malware attacks, particularly ransomware, are by far the biggest danger to your pictures, videos, work, or school files. Since cybercriminals use a robust encryption algorithm to lock data, it can no longer be used until a ransom in bitcoin is paid. Instead of paying hackers, you should first try to use alternative recovery methods that could help you to retrieve at least some portion of the lost data. Otherwise, you could also lose your money, along with the files. One of the best tools that could restore at least some of the encrypted files – Data Recovery Pro.
