Is the svchost.exe process taking up all the RAM?
This morning the light went out and the laptop turned off. When I turned it on, after a couple of minutes I noticed that windows was very slow. Launched the task manager, saw that 0 free RAM. I looked in the processes, I saw that svchost.exe was to blame. Removed it, after 10 seconds the laptop started working perfectly. But after a while the situation repeated itself. It also happens now after a reboot. I note that the processor is loaded at this time by about 15-20%, but the hard drive is constantly spinning until I remove this process. I checked the drweb cureit system, checked the left services, autoload - nothing. Haven't installed anything in the last 2 days. Also looked at logs, task scheduler - nothing. Updates are disabled. I checked the hard drive for errors - everything is OK. SMART is great too. What can be done?
Windows 7 x64.

Through svchost.exe
starts a lot of services. By the parameters of its launch, you can determine which particular service loads the memory.
What can be done?System Restore - roll back the system to the time before the problem.
I advise you to scan with such a useful utility as adwcleaner
Naturally, after killing the service, it restarts, this is normal behavior. This is probably an attempt by Windows to collect information about the error, weighed down by the antivirus. If you are sure that this is not a virus, then turn off the network, remove the antivirus, reboot the system, log out and let the system rustle the disk until it gets bored (it may take several hours), then run in the admin consolesfc /scannow
Perhaps everything is much simpler.

it helped me when many machines in the domain had a similar memory leak.
