I suggest you read this article in its entirety
<http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-fix-svchostexe-errors-and-problems-with-high-cpu-usage/>
This will explain all about svchost.exe and why it's there. Also,
toward the end, if you're running Win 8 or 10 you may not need to
install WinPatrol. I don't know all the functions of WinPatrol but
identifying what's running under svchost.exe is part of the Windows Task
Manager (under processes) for those later versions.

svchost.exe is a legitimate background application that runs a wide range

it was processing by using WinPatrol (https://www.winpatrol.com/), which
provides controls for removing the offending application(s). I have that on
all my machines now.
I'm seeing a process running on my computer. svchost.exe (netsvcs) It's
eating up 25% of CPU cycles and a fair amount of RAM. I just terminate
it after boot with no apparent ill effect. It appears to be a legit MS
service but WTF is it doing? I wonder if it is related to MS Update
trying to download the W10 stuff? The W10 update has prevented me from
doing any other windows updates except for the anti virus stuff.
Looks like I may have to call MS tech support to sort this out. However
the last time I did the tech really screwed things up. Never again will
I allow the a tech to use the remote desktop.
