Host process for windows tasks

Hello,

I'm having a problem with a stalker who I believe is monitoring my on-line activity as well as following me off-line. I have Kapersky internet protection installed and periodically it notifies me that it has blocked webcam access to 'C:\Windows\System 32\taskhostw.exe
and under detailed reports indicates Host Process for Windows Tasks. I read this answer to someone else's question about the Windows Tasks:

The taskhost.exe is a Task Host which is a generic Host Process for Windows 7 32-bit Services. The full path to this file should be shown in TUT as
C:\Windows\System32\Taskhost.exe.

TASKHOST is a generic process which acts as a host for processes that run from DLLs rather than EXEs. At startup TASKHOST checks the Services portion of the Registry to construct a list of DLL-based services that it needs to load, and then loads them.
There can be many instances of TASKHOST running, as there will be one instance of TASKHOST for every DLL-based service or grouping of services (the grouping of services is determined by the programmers who wrote the services in question).

Since this is an integral part of the operating system, I wouldn’t suggest you to delete it.

However, for the high CPU consumption issue, please use Performance Monitor to view performance data either in real time or from a log file.

The new Resource Monitor lets you view detailed real-time information about hardware resources (CPU, disk, network, and memory) and system resources (including handles and modules) in use by
the operating system, services, and running applications. In addition, you can use Resource Monitor to stop processes, start and stop services, analyze process deadlocks, view thread wait chains, and identify processes locking files.

- And now I'm wondering: Is it possible for someone to remote access the windows Task Host installed on my computer? I have asked Kapersky technicians if they have found any signs of tampering
or if its even possible but have yet to receive a satisfactory answer. Can anyone help me?

 

Host processes for Windows tasks - stopped working

Hi, in reply to previous correspondents. I tried the Forum suggested by 'jdc1' and while there have been many viewers there is no suggestion of remedy - so far.
Searching further in this matter I find that a similar post also appears in this Forum - see here:
Host Process For Windows Tasks stopped working, Windows 10 1903
and once again many viewers but no remedy.
In Reliability Monitor there is a link to: How to report an error: I followed this link to Microsoft Community - see here:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...c-db4c1d0592f3
Where there are numerous complainants for this problem. There is one reply ( to-date) of a suggested solution by Microsoft which appears not to be the cure and quite a few more insistent*Devil posts for Microsoft to get this sorted.
The posts themselves include suggested cures like sfc/scannow and DISM which I like many others have tried to no avail. There seems to be a strong leaning towards blaming the 1903 update for this error. One person does indicate a solution which worked for him which is to via System & Storage to click the box to run now and remove earlier Windows Updates. I have just tried this myself and will report the result within the next few days.
Other correspondents are awaiting for further answers in the 'Community' from Microsoft.
So once again time will tell but it would appear that Microsoft are dragging their heels on this one.
Cheers.

Problem with the Task Host Window and the shutting down

Hi Sayan_Gosh, thanks for your fast response! I will answer first all the four questions that you are asking me:

• The PC that I'm using is a Gateway model DX4860 with previous Windows 7 Home Premium.
• I have upgrade to Windows 10 using Windows update settings.
• I have Norton Security Deluxe installed in my PC.
• And finally, all programs were closed before shutting down Windows.

I will execute your initial recommendations and the
diagnostic steps that you suggest me; and I will let you know the status of the "Task Host issue".
