Windows script to stop a service

[radge]

I have a laptop with Windows 7 Professional OS with all updates up to date and every time I turn on the laptop the "svchost" service consumes 250mb of ram, manually from the taskmgr I go to the executable and in the windows services I use the "stop service" option in the "upnphost" service and said ram stops growing, I do this every day manually and I would like to know if anyone would know how to do it in a windows script so that I can put it in the system startup and forget about it.

Thanks,

And have you tried Task Scheduler?

I have already found it, it is this

sc start upnphost

Thanks anyway!!!

The easiest thing is to disable that service in the system services as shown here in the first way: http://computerstepbystep.com/upnp_device_host_service.html But you lose the uPnP service that is used for applications to open the ports they need on the router, the solution is not that, that is just a patch that leaves you useless any application that uses that service. Somehow you have a bigger problem like a virus, some failed update, the router firmware with some vulnerability, a program that misuses the protocol, etc. I would check what the real cause is and try to solve it.

PD. It could also be something not related to this service you say, like it can be https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2889748/high-memory-usage-by-the-svchost.exe-process-after-you-install-windows or any other problem related to Svchost.

Thanks, I have windows7 professional with all updates to date.
I use nod32 with a license for antivirus.

I've run a scan with nod and another with malwarebytes and it says I don't have any suspicious elements.

What else can I do? Thanks
