Guest JustUs Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 HelpSvc takes up 95% of CPU usage. It seems to do it at its own will. Just started the past week or so. I found a KB for this problem @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933993, but it says it applies to Windows Server 2003. Will this also work for XP? The only ref I found for this with XP was to install the latest SP. I have all the updates. Thanks in advance for your solution.

Guest JustUs Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Helpsvc.exe 95% CPU Thank you. I was set to Automatic. Didn't know if there would be any repercussions by changing the settings. Thanks again.
