High CPU Usage from "Service Host: Local Service [...]"

[BrainY]

Recently, I noticed that I get high CPU usage from "Service Host: Local Service (No Network) (4)" and many other "Service Host: Local Service" processes.

I've tried to research it and did these following steps already:

• 
  ■ sfc /scannow
  ■ Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  ■ Disable service "SuperFetch"

Is this working? nope... sure not. Any other suggestions?

Note: This is not only because I run GTA5. It happens at random times.

Edit:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K Haswell OC @ 4.0GHz with Noctua NH-D14
MOBO: ASRock Z87 Extreme4
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 SC (2GB)
RAM: 4 x G.Skill 2GB DRR3 1333mhz (PC3 10600)
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 7200RPM 16Mb 3GB/s

No it's at random honestly. Sometimes I don't get it at all and sometimes it just takes like all my CPU. I just happen to happen GTA5 on.

I scanned in safe mod and I had no viruses other than 1 detection of malware.

Generally. this is tied to Windows Update service - when you see svchost in task manager, right click on the item that is running 25+% - at the bottom of the drop down screen you will see something that says services - click on that and you'll see something that says wupdate - click on that and click stop. This only works once a day.

I had the same problem on my win 10 pro pc
It is just a bug in latest update of windows 10
Cause---While device resets can be caused by a varying number of factors, we are aware of issues with some Advanced Host Controller Interface PCI-Express(AHCI PCIe) models that causes these symptoms in Windows 10 when running with the inbox StorAHCI.sys driver. Due to a firmware bug, the Solid-state drive (SSD) does not properly complete input/output when Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) mode is enabled. As a result, the Windows storage stack attempts to reset the device after waiting on unresponsive reads or writes for a period of time.

Disable the hyper-V from the "Turn windows features on or off" and your problem will be fixed

For me it helped to disable my firewall setting and afterwards perform a restore to defaults as described in the article below.

Ive literally been trying for about 30 hours to fix this problem. I tried every other solution... THIS worked!!!!!! Went from 40-50% usage down to 5% the instant I clicked restore settings. Thank you so much and if anyone out there tried everything else, I almost guarentee this will also work for you ! Also disk usage dropped from 50% steady, down to 8%. Im so happy rn! THANKS AGAIN!

Absolutely right, the previous suggestions (like AHCI) are wrong. This immediately fixed the problem. Thanks!
