i noticed this when im playing games . my games(PCARS) started to stutter and lag and when i check on the task manager my cpu usage is on 100%. i noticed the svchost is doing this so i stop it.but the lag wont go away. ive made some research on svchost.and try some of the available option but unsuccesfull. the svchost is currently in two seperate folder one is in win/system32 and the other is in win/sysWOW64.i know that on the system32 is a legit one and on the sysWOW64, i have no idea. Some of the thread i found they said in order to check the svchodt is legit or not 😱n the task manager right click on the svchost and click properties go to the details tab if all of them is under microsoft corporation its a legit one and all of the svchost is under microsoft. but it eats up CPU like hell.need solution.

So you mean GTAV is fine, but it only happens for certain games, right? Then you require changes in the settings in the games themselves. You could try the following in your games,

1) See if any newer versions are available
2) Turn off Vscync
3) Turn of high graphical settings, even with an intensive graphics card sometimes the games still glitch and only when running them at lower graphical settings helps in smooth running
4) Lower Anti Aliasing

Most importantly get the latest drivers for your graphics card. It usually helps somehow 70% of the time.
Do a free scan with malwarebytes.

Did you check the system usage while playing the game (alt-tabbing out of it), was it in the background? Then the system usage may have been your game itself.

Also, most importantly, does your pc support all the minimum system requirements for the game? Did you google for any bugs which may originate from the game itself, which may cause a lag?
 
I did the scan and nothing is detected. Strangely that nothing is effected by this only games. GTAV is fine. Only certain game. My spec is 4690k, 970, 8gb ram. Does formatting my windows can solve this? and by formating. I want to know do i need to install all of my game back? GTAV is my concern.
