Recently i got problem with my system that spikes my CPU usage to 100%
the main cause is the UPnPhost service under a svchost, when i disabled it, the system is running
normal again

i just want to ask if there would be risk in disabling this process?

thanks
 
long answer:
UPnPhost service simply looks for devices such as printers, scanners and such that are on a network for your computer to connect to. if your not on a network then you don't need it.

google is your friend :)
