Some Windows users are complaining that their CPU usage is high,
without any particular reason. The problem shows up whenever the
computer wakes up from sleep, or even during regular work sometimes.
If youre facing the similar issue, youre going to nd a solution in this
post.
(http://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/superfetch-
service-wind8apps-e1434384887130.png)
If you explore Task Manager a little bit, youll see that Windows Service Host:
Local Service (Network Restricted) is causing the problem of high CPU usage

(http://windowsreport.com/photo-background-task-host-high-cpu-usage-
(http://windowsreport.com/download-install-missing-drive-hotkey-utility/)
windows-10/). This is not relevant to CPUs speed or power, because it can
happen on any conguration. Anyway, Service Host: Local Service (Network
Restricted) contains a lot of, how would I say, sub-services, and one of these
sub-services is causing Service Host: Local Service (Network Restricted) to use
CPU to its maximum.
 This service is called Superfetch and its used to pre-load data from hard disk
into RAM memory. So to improve your performance, and get rid of the high
CPU usage, you have to disable Superfetch service, and heres how to do that:

Keeping your PC at peak performance isn't as hard as you think, especially if you have a
proper software tool such as ReimagePlus.

This software that we strongly recommend will repair most computer errors,
protect you from le loss and hardware failure and optimize your PC for maximum
performance.

Thus, not only will you have an error-free PC, but it will also be as fast as when you rst
bought it.

1. Go to Search, type services and open Services

2. Find Superfetch service, right click on it and go to Disable
3. Restart your computer
Thats all, after disabling Superfetch service, your CPU usage
(http://windowsreport.com/high-cpu-usage-windows-shell-experience-host/)
should get back to normal and youll be able to continue with work on your
computer without any problems.

Although Microsoft says that Superfetch service improves computers

performance over time, in practice, its actually the opposite. Many users
complained that this service keeps performance optimized only when the
system is newly installed, but after some time, it actually decreases its
performance. Also, Superfetch services runs on very low priority, so it should
not aect other IO activities, because normal IO activities run at high priority.
