    Service Host: Diagnostic Policy using a lot of CPU and Disk usage


    As you can guess from the title, I've been having lots of issues with this specific service. It's been using disk a lot and some CPU as well, nothing to overheat my computer but it often ends up consuming CPU that I need as well. Typically it uses something around 10%-20% of CPU and around 7-8MB/s of disk. I'm not sure if this is related but browsing for possible fixes to this, I also found that the SRU folder is plagued with thousands of text files and the EventViewer without any filter displays a lot of errors on the Application section of Windows Logs.I do have a CrashLog I got from the eve

    Service Host: Diagnostic Policy using a lot of CPU and Disk usage

    Consistent CPU Usage by Service Host : Diagnostic Policy Service


    Hello Guys,

    I'm using Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit. After the latest Windows update in Feb 2018, I've been experiencing consistent CPU Usage (13-14%) by a Windows Process (Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service).

    I can't figure out why is this process taking CPU usage every time even when the system is idle. *Huh

    I tried to limit its startup, by changing its startup type to Manual, but this went in vain.

    A screenshot has been added to make it more clear.

    Any tips or tweaks regarding this?

    Thanks
