All done. I don't know if this helps but my CPU monitor has been showing me that the processing has been cycling through my cores. For example, it would show core 1 at 75-80% for one session, then after a restart, it would be core 2 at those numbers while the rest of the cores stay from 0-25%.

Here's the new PE log:

Sorry, I've got to head out so I won't be back until later tonight. Thank you very much for your dedication to this problem! Check back later!

 

Haha, actually, when you said to disable the non-MS services from the context menu, I had a feeling it would come back to re-enabling them. Would I be following the same procedure then? Using ShellExView and enabling them one-by-one? I have a feeling that's the case so I'll start and wait for your confirmation.

The thing with your hint is that I installed those services after it happened, so it could very well be something else. Guess we'll see!

 

Oh. Ouch. Better get started if I want to sleep tonight, I guess.

I tried re-enabling each of the non-MS services and startups and none of them triggered a system idle percentage to drop under 99%. Am I doing something wrong?

My process is going to msconfig, choosing one startup, enabling it, restarting, then launching PE as soon as it restarts and checking for idle percentage. Could it be a MS service/startup?

 

So none of the non-MS services/startup programs have caused it to drop below 99% and I haven't seen an svchost with PID of 2424. Should I start re-enabling a MS service/startup?

 

This is strange. I went through every MS service and nothing badgered my system idle percentage at all. So I went to my startups and there was only one MS startup so I enabled it. With only that MS startup enabled, I was able to maintain a system idle or 99%. However, as soon as I re-enabled all my startups, I was back up to the same madness with my cores.

In the new PE, I'm finding the same svchost as before, using 25% of my CPU. From the looks of it, I went into services.msc and disabled the services that it was affecting -

- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
- Windows Connect Now

But the final service that seems to be stuck is the Windows Font Cache Service. Is there a way to disable this or is this a known bug and can be fixed?

 

Okay, I just restarted and the problem seems to be gone. I disabled the Windows Font Cache Service since that seemed to be the one that was hanging my system. I also located an svchost for the services listed above so those seem to be fine. My system idle is about normal, 98% so that seems to have done it. Thanks a lot for pointing me in this direction!!
