Thread: svchost.exe

Hi,

Please tell me use of svchost.exe. Will there be multiple instance of svchost.exe.

Yes. There are multiple instances. SVCHOST is a generic process host. To know more about svchost and the process running under each process, run this command in command window:

tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe"

One instance of svchost may be serving more than one service in the form of threads. to reduce the amount of svchost processes and also the number of threads in individual svchost processes turn off unnecessary services by going to Start > Run > services.msc

Dont turn off services you are not sure about. it may cause problems. here is a complete guide of which services can be closed:
