Guest matthewtec Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 On a couple of computers I've checked, the csrss.exe process in the task manager sits at around 10,000,000 "I/O Read Bytes". I checked this out because I happened to notice on my laptop that it grows continually and within a few hours will even get up near 1.5-2Gb [1,700,000,000]. I've run a virus checker and did a full scan. Nothing changed. I am hoping someone can help me with letting me know some things to check -- perhaps I changed some settings one day and didn't realize the consequences until later. I just don't know. I also don't know if this is 'bad', but it just seems odd. Any help whatsoever that anyone can provide would be just great. Thank you. Matt -- remove the "noSpam_" to email me.

Guest MatthewS Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Re: csrss process -- I/O Reads getting extremely large Thank you for replying. In the interim my IE has stopped being able to open -- I don't know if this is related to this or not [if it is, it is a much delayed response, as the IE issue just started, and this csrss problem has been going on]. In any case, please let me know if this isn't what you were looking for... C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16 It is currently using approx. 25% of the cpu, it looks like... at least from what I can tell. Is there something I could have done to the settings in the OS somewhere that would have made this happen? Again, any help would be great. Thank you. "David H.

Guest MatthewS Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Re: csrss process -- I/O Reads getting extremely large One followup note... I tested and was able to start IE when using the context menu to "Start without Add-Ons". So, I don't know if that makes it more or less related to the csrss issue... but if it's unrelated I will work on it separately. I just wasn't sure what information is important. -- I did note that the csrss priority was set to high... only winlogon and McShield have the priority this high [taskmgr and procexp do when running, I suppose]. Not sure if this is the norm or not. "David H.
