Good morning!

I noticed that my PC was a little slower than normal so I pulled up my tasks and noticed that the "Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service" was occuping a lot of ram and disk space (28% CPU / 1,000 MB Disk). I ran a sfc /scan now and nothing was found. I tried "stopping" the service, but all it says on the services screen is "Stopping" and doesn't allow me to restart it or anything, even though the service is still running.

How do I correct this and how do I delete the srudb.dat file that may be corrupted?
