Svchost crashing after standby

I've been dealing with this for a few months, and everytime I think it stops it does it to me again.

After coming out of standby (once every 20 times), I'll get a message box saying that svchost.exe has closed unexpectedtly. Then it gives me 60 seconds to logon and close what I need to.

I login and do a shutdown -a , but that doesn't really fix anything because I can't launch programs anymore.

Anyway I can look to see what is doing this?

 

svchost is a parent process for multiple processes--in all likelihood, it is a subprocess, not svchost that is crashing.

Determining which subprocess is causing the crash is tricky.

It is probably not a normal Windows service, but a third party one.

First stop, eventviewer

right click COMPUTER, choose MANAGE, choose EVENT VIEWER,

Check the APPLICATION and SYSTEM logs for errors that occured at the same time as your crash.

Failing that, download process explorer from sysinternals, run it

You will see multiple versions of svchost running. rest your mouse over --some will have obvious subprocesses. Note them

Also, rest your mouse pointer over each and the hint bar will display the "hidden" subprocesses

Note them.

Do a little googling on each and try to determine if they are default Windows services or third party services.

Disable any third party services...does the issue repeat?

 

I have very few third party services running, but I'll have to enable event viewer first.
