SVCHOST 100% CPU on Server 2016 every 70 minutes

Have a strange problem that started on the 14 July, roughly every 70 minutes our virtual file server CPU process percentage ramps up to 99% -100% for about 5 minutes causing slow access problems. I have checked for any scheduled tasks, checked if windows defender is doing anything but can't find the cause. unfortunately it's on a process that has 15 services linked to it so not sure which is causing the problem. I will be running SFC and DISM scans over the weekend to see if they find anything, as well as rebooting the Host, but does anyone have any other ideas I can try please.

Thank You

Windows Server

Might also try Resource Monitor for more granularity.
