Windows 10: How many Backgroundtaskhost.exe files should there be?

For a bit of context, my computer and i heard leaving my computer on for BTH to run, but it makes no difference. Because of this I decided to check the C:\Windows to see file itself and I found 4 different backgroundTaskHost.exe files (2 of them are 17.3 KB, the other 2 are 19.3 KB). Should there be this many? Are any of these viruses? Should I delete/disable any of these?

backgroundTaskHost and backgroundTransferHost continuously start and die

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query at Microsoft community.

BackgroundTaskHost is an integral part of the Operating System. Please use the task manager to check any if any third party applications might also be running. These two application are use by Windows Update which installs updates.

Please use the Windows Feedback app to provide you suggestions.

Thank you.
