    How do I find which process is calling taskhostw.exe


    I frequently find everything is slowing to a stop. I will take two or three minutes to open Task Manager and find the disc is running at 100%. Often the task with the highest disc usage is taskhostw.exe, so I usually lower its priority to 'below normal' and raise Task Manager and whatever I am trying to do to 'above normal'.When I look at the files being accessed, they often appear to be related to updates or installations, but sometimes there is no obvious update process running.First, how can I find what is calling taskhostw.exe?Second, why are updates/installations running in the backgrou

    :)

    How do I find which process is calling taskhostw.exe

    taskhostw error can't get on line can't get past it won't leave screen

    I have to kill error code 0x6f0b3d67 taskhostw error stuck on screen first. It is locking up all the processes you can't even shut it down from desktop. can't restart can't remove programs can't do **** with it. I think it's from cannon printer I deleted
    a couple weeks ago. But I can't get into taskhostw to find out.
