Look, I’m not actually losing my mind here. I’m just new to the forum and didn't spot a specific thread for this kind of question. So, if anyone is actually willing to lend a hand, could you please skip this thread and head over to the Help Service section instead?
So, here’s the deal; whenever I boot up my PC, this window just pops up out of nowhere saying: "svchost.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I'm stuck with those two options—send or don't send. I’ve already scoured the forums, and it doesn't seem to be that specific issue where svchost hogs the CPU at 99% or 100%. Still, I think it might be throttling my internet (not entirely sure), and my games keep crashing or freezing up so hard I have to force a reboot. I’ve actually reinstalled macOS three times now. The last time, I kept it pretty barebones—just the motherboard drivers, the GPU drivers, and some games like War Rock... nothing else. It was fine until about two days ago when I installed Nero and UltraISO. That error I mentioned at the start started showing up even before I had an antivirus running, but once I installed Norton, it flagged a riskware hidden object. Before I moved it to the trusted zone, the event logs were throwing this: "Scan startup objects can not be started because of error: task cannot be started in the safe mode". I tried running a scan in Safe Mode too, but it came up empty. It feels like svchost.exe is trying to finish some task in the background or something, but maybe I'm just wrong. Any advice? I'm honestly losing my mind here.
