svchost.exe high CPU usage - solved
I dont know when it started happening, but I was getting a CPU spike from svchost.exe on startup
This lasted about 30 seconds then the CPU cooled off.
I found that Superfetch was causing it.
By disabling Sysmain service the CPU spike seems to have been resolved

Just to clarify:
The specific service under svchost.exe was UdkUserSvc causing the high CPU usage; spike.
