On what appears to be every other boot of my computer, I find that three service host tasks consume a significant amount of CPU cycles.
If I let the computer sit, untouched, for 10-15 minutes, these three tasks remain the greatest consumers of cpu time. If I reboot, however, they stop being cpu hogs:
What surprises me is that I can reproduce this behavior by simply rebooting my computer, at which point the three service host tasks will resume their place as top CPU users.
I am looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue.

See this answer for how to separate the various services running inside a particular instance of Service Host.
– I say Reinstate Monica – 2017-10-15T13:22:12.070update to at least Win10 v1703, here the services are hosted in separated svchost.exe processes. here you see which service causes the issue. Use WPT (WPRUI/WPA) to trace what the service does.
