    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    svchost.exe is a required Windows process. Do not try to delete it because your PC would not boot if you succeeded.


    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
