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.
