Resolved Svchost.exe -k imgsvc using 90+ of CPU,

Just had Broni help get rid of viruses. Computer has been slow to load.
Ran sfc /scannow, no difference.

From turn on to desktop load 13 min.
Using Process Explorer I found svchost.exe using 90+ of CPU,
Command line: C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k imgsvc.
Start Address : WIAFBDRV.DLL!DllGetClassObject+0x99f
Display Name Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Uninstall any camera/scanner driver & software. Reboot & test.

 

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Your response worked great. What didn't work was taking the computer out side afterwords at ten degrees and blowing out the dust. Brought it back in, didn't wait long enough before turning it back on. No post beep, nothing...
Built a new computer. Will up date My System when every thing is setup. Thank you for your help, worked great, should have left well enough alone. It worked out for the best anyway. Built the other one 7 years ago.
THANKS again.

 

Sorry to hear that you lost your old computer but look at the bright side - you got a new computer.
