This is my development box at work. It's setup as such:
Core 2 Duo Laptop
Vista Premium
SQL Server 2k5 Developer (fully patched)
Re-statement of the problem with updates:
Services.exe pegs my CPU approximately a third of the time (i.e. if I go 100 hours of uptime, about 33 hours will be inside Services.exe). I have isolated this to only happening when SQL Management Studio is running. I have SQL Server 2005 Dev Ed. and Express Ed. both installed but all services are set to manual and are not running. I can have a bajillion things open or nothing and if I fire up SQL Management Studio, then the problem pops up
Googling hasn't helped. Everybody says the problem is malware-related, this is not the case. I've confirmed in every way I know how, plus learned some new ways, to verify that services.exe is really Microsoft's exe. Process Explorer even says so. On top of that, this is only about a 1-month-old install of Windows (was one-week when I began having this problem) and I'm pretty anal when it comes to what I install and open on my dev pc.
Thanks!
