CPU Usage

[BlueDragonMan]

I have something called Image Name - DLLHOST.EXE User Name - SYSTEM and it uses up atleast 90+% on average. Why is this? It is slowing down the rest of the processes on my computer like windows media player, and making the songs slow down. When I restart I don't have this problem, it's only after It has been on for a couple of hours. What does DLLHOST.EXE even do?

Sounds like a software conflict of some sort.

Have you installed anything new recently, or made any updates, or system/software settings changes?

How long have you had this problem?
