svchost memory leak using all my ram
UPDATE: Let me start over. It might not be svchost.
For several weeks I couldn't get Windows 7 to successfully do a windows update. Always had the same ten updates pending installation, and they'd fail. Finally I had enough trying to figure out why and did a system restore to about early december 2016. I installed about 24 pending updates, and they didn't fail. Problem solved, right?
Until twenty-four hours later when I started suffering horrific slowdown with my ram usage up to 97%, sometimes freezing the computer. The only unusually ram-hungry process was the svchost process that runs these services: windows audio endpoint builder, human interface device access, network connections, program compatibility assistant service, superfetch, distributed link tracking client, desktop window manager session manager, diagnostic system host, wlan autoconfig, portable device enumerator service, and windows driver foundation user-mode driver framework. But while the computer's memory usage is always between 85% and 97%+ (and that's after i disabled write caching; before that, the process used so much ram so quickly the computer wasnt functional), svchost only uses a few hundred megabytes at most.
There appears to be no memory leak at all when i run in safe mode. I did a number of virus scans with AVG and found no threats. I did a test to check for errors and there didn't appear to be any. I also remember seeing an error message about java during one of the first memory leak spikes, but i didnt write it down.
Please, please give me a suggestion to solve this. I don't know how my computer became this sick overnight, and I don't know how to fix it.

EDIT: Uploaded my CBS logs finally. The forum wasn't allowing me to upload directly and claimed the path was invalid or the filename changed, no matter where i moved the file. So I tried Mediafire, but kept getting a message about an outdated adobe flash pluging being prevented from running by firefox, until i okayed it. Then it kept freezing up whenever i highlighted Copy to Clipboard so I could share the damn file, as if somebody's hovering over my shoulder and deliberately stopping me from getting help resolving this.Code:Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0): ----------------------------------------- Windows Validation Data--> Validation Code: 0 Cached Online Validation Code: N/A, hr = 0x8007043c Windows Product Key: *****-*****-QCPVQ-KHRB8-RMV82 Windows Product Key Hash: +Rj3N34NLM2JqoBO/OzgzTZXgbY= Windows Product ID: 00359-OEM-8992687-00095 Windows Product ID Type: 2 Windows License Type: OEM SLP Windows OS version: 6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003 ID: {A3B663DA-7FA1-4778-AE2A-C284F832FEED}(1) Is Admin: Yes TestCab: 0x0 LegitcheckControl ActiveX: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Product Name: Windows 7 Home Premium Architecture: 0x00000009 Build lab: 7601.win7sp1_ldr.161011-0600 TTS Error: Validation Diagnostic: Resolution Status: N/A Vista WgaER Data--> ThreatID(s): N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Windows XP Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 File Exists: No Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaTray.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaLogon.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAExec.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAAddin.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Data--> Office Status: 100 Genuine Microsoft Office XP Professional - 100 Genuine OGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Office Diagnostics: 77F760FE-153-80070002_7E90FEE8-175-80070002_025D1FF3-364-80041010_025D1FF3-229-80041010_025D1FF3-230-1_025D1FF3-517-80040154_025D1FF3-237-80040154_025D1FF3-238-2_025D1FF3-244-80070002_025D1FF3-258-3_E2AD56EA-765-d003_E2AD56EA-766-0_E2AD56EA-134-80004005_E2AD56EA-765-b01a_E2AD56EA-766-0_E2AD56EA-148-80004005_16E0B333-89-80004005_B4D0AA8B-1029-80004005 Browser Data--> Proxy settings: N/A User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32) Default Browser: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Download signed ActiveX controls: Prompt Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Disabled Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Allowed Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: Disabled Allow scripting of Internet Explorer Webbrowser control: Disabled Active scripting: Allowed Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: Allowed File Scan Data--> Other data--> Office Details: <GenuineResults><MachineData><UGUID>{A3B663DA-7FA1-4778-AE2A-C284F832FEED}</UGUID><Version>1.9.0027.0</Version><OS>6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003</OS><Architecture>x64</Architecture><PKey>*****-*****-*****-*****-RMV82</PKey><PID>00359-OEM-8992687-00095</PID><PIDType>2</PIDType><SID>S-1-5-21-300886815-453708303-3291578437</SID><SYSTEM><Manufacturer>Dell Inc.</Manufacturer><Model>Studio 540 </Model></SYSTEM><BIOS><Manufacturer>Dell Inc.</Manufacturer><Version>1.1.3</Version><SMBIOSVersion major="2" minor="5"/><Date>20090825000000.000000+000</Date></BIOS><HWID>DC203007018400F8</HWID><UserLCID>0409</UserLCID><SystemLCID>0409</SystemLCID><TimeZone>Mountain Standard Time(GMT-07:00)</TimeZone><iJoin>0</iJoin><SBID><stat>3</stat><msppid></msppid><name></name><model></model></SBID><OEM><OEMID>DELL </OEMID><OEMTableID>AS09 </OEMTableID></OEM><GANotification/></MachineData><Software><Office><Result>100</Result><Products><Product GUID="{91110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}"><LegitResult>100</LegitResult><Name>Microsoft Office XP Professional</Name><Ver>10</Ver><Val>4F4A2BE538EEF5A</Val><Hash>b1xGejdphVGr5CAOqJdO2++O6KE=</Hash><Pid>54186-700-9381572-17173</Pid><PidType>1</PidType></Product></Products><Applications><App Id="15" Version="10" Result="100"/><App Id="16" Version="10" Result="100"/><App Id="18" Version="10" Result="100"/><App Id="1A" Version="10" Result="100"/><App Id="1B" Version="10" Result="100"/></Applications></Office></Software></GenuineResults> Spsys.log Content: 0x80070002 Licensing Data--> CScript Error: Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script "C:\Windows\system32\slmgr.vbs".
