100+ Registry Data KEYS that have been disabled by the “ -k “ switch
BUG - Read the list and the descriptions - Maybe this has affected your computer too!
The main culprit with the extender “ -k ” attached to it is “netsvcs” but they are all associated with the DATA String with the “svchost.exe”
Here are more names that show up with the “ -k “ switch attached to it that are disabling some of the other Reg KEYS.
-k NetworkService
-k dot3svc
-k eapsvcs
-k HTTPFilter
-k LocalService
-k nosGetPlusHelper
-k imgsvc
-k WudfServiceGroup
=================
What is svchost.exe?General Info:
File Name = Svchost.exe
Process Name = Microsoft Service Host Process
File Location = C:|Windows|System32
Svchost.exe is a system process which is included with Windows. The official process name is Microsoft Service Host Process. File sizes will differ from computer to computer but documented file sizes are 14,336 bytes (86% of all occurrence), 12,800 bytes and 22,016 bytes. Svchost.exe should NOT be disabled or REMOVED because it's an essential file required by your computer's Windows Operating system. But Svchost.exe may be damaged and corrupt causing errors, high CPU usage and slow computer performance.
A couple of the main problems I am having with the computer is that I can not install updates properly and that my Cryptographic Services have been disabled although I know that it IS enabled and that it is set to automatic at boot up time.
I don’t know where the “-k netsvcs” came from but I’m going to go through the entire Registry again and take them all out. They don’t belong there as far as I can tell. I mean, you can clearly see the Reg KEYS that this BUG is disabling.
The address line in the “C:\Windows\System32\ Directory” looks like this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
NOT like this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
There is NO listing of the svchost.exe file in the
C:\Windows\System\
Directory at all.
The only other place on the computer that “svchost.exe” exists is:
C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\SMSvcHost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\SMSvcHost.exe.config
No where in any of these files does it have the extender of “ -k ”
So, if no one has any objection, I’m going to delete the extension “ -k netsvcs” (and all of it’s “ -k ” buddies) in all the Registry files where found.
If anyone knows of a reason why I should not delete these file extensions, Please let me know and why I should not delete them.
I’m going to list all the locations of the infraction that I found in
MY “Registry Data File” so that if someone else is having a similar problem of the same area, they will know Where to look for it and why that particular function is NOT functioning properly and can then know how to fix it. I’ll first Back-up my system and the Registry files before effecting repairs and report back here as to the outcome.
I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE ALL NOT TO FOLLOW IN MY FOORSTEPS AT THIS TIME.
