Once in a while, winlogon.exe will hog CPU and makes my Windows unresponsive.

Hello.

I have a strange rare and annoying Windows XP Pro. SP2 (IE6.0 SP2; all
critical updates and optional softwares for SP2) issue that had been
around for three years or so, and I can't figure out what's going on.

Once in a while (very rare -- maybe once every one/two months?), I
winlogon.exe decides to go nuts and take one of my CPU (have a dual core
Intel P4 Prescott machine). From there, softwares don't respond and some
can't be shut down (e.g., SeaMonkey.exe, Trillian.exe, Outlook.exe) even
if I force end task. When I try to shut down Windows to reboot, it gets
stuck forever and I need to do a force shut down on the power switch on
the Dell Optiplex GX280 case.

I tried viewing Process Explorer, Process Monitor, event logs, services
via cmd.exe (administrative method freezes/doesn't respond), etc. and
found nothing interesting. Here are the Process Explorer exports:

Is there a fix for this or a way to calm winlogon.exe down? It doesn't
seem to matter how long my session uptime is either since this was only
three days old.

Thank you in advance. :)

IT requires everyone to use it. I had Symantec Client Security (SCS) in
the past before SEP, and still had those rare winlogon.exe going nuts so
it is not by SEP.

I did more research today since I had another one earlier today. :(
According to Process Explorer v11.20's winlogon.exe's threads
properties, WINMM.dll!PlaySoundW+0x77f was the one hogging the CPU (not
sure if this was the same as before since I never went this deep).
Here's Process Explorer exported log: http://pastebin.ca/1071193 (no
wordwrapping since this is wide and expires in 30 days). That sounds
like audio so I check my headphones and heard NO sounds. I tried
disabling and enabling SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio in device
manager, but that didn't help. I believe I have the latest drivers (2004).


Hello.

I have a strange rare and annoying Windows XP Pro. SP2 (IE6.0 SP2; all
critical updates and optional softwares for SP2) issue that had been
around for three years or so, and I can't figure out what's going on.

Once in a while (very rare -- maybe once every one/two months?), I
winlogon.exe decides to go nuts and take one of my CPU (have a dual core
Intel P4 Prescott machine). From there, softwares don't respond and some
can't be shut down (e.g., SeaMonkey.exe, Trillian.exe, Outlook.exe) even
if I force end task. When I try to shut down Windows to reboot, it gets
stuck forever and I need to do a force shut down on the power switch on
the Dell Optiplex GX280 case.

I tried viewing Process Explorer, Process Monitor, event logs, services
via cmd.exe (administrative method freezes/doesn't respond), etc. and
found nothing interesting. Here are the Process Explorer exports:

Is there a fix for this or a way to calm winlogon.exe down? It doesn't
seem to matter how long my session uptime is either since this was only
three days old.

Thank you in advance. :)

Yep: 5.1.2600.2180. So far so good after uninstalling K-Lite Codec Full
Pack. It might be causing my audio to go wacky to make winlogon.exe go
nuts. We'll see...
