Hi all,
XP SP3. Recentely the helpsvc starts by itself and takes 90% CPU. I found an
hotfix but is intended to be for XP SP2 only. Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Andrea
 
Hi Andrea,

You could just set Help and Support to manual or disable.
Start> Run> type: services.msc then OK.
Scroll down to Help and Support and double click it.
In the Startup type: on the dropdown, select manual or disable. If set to
manual, on the Service status: select the Stop button. Then Apply and OK.
