Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator??

Win 10 Pro. 1709. One of the first things I do upon boot is fire up task manager. For the first time that I can recall I now see "Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator" listed in Processes. And I would have noticed it before since it is right under Microsoft Pay which I terminate each day. It sure does not seem like it has anything to do with Win 10 though I certainly could be wrong:

I terminated the process.No ill effect so far. No recently installed programs or updates. Anyone have an explanation why it suddenly appeared. TIA.

P.S. It came back when I now just went and checked : )

Microsoft Money Sunset

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Microsoft Money Sunset is a personal finance management software. If you're seeing business-related entries that you don't need, here are steps you can take to try to remove or hide those aspects:

1. Organize and Categorize Transactions:
   
   • Open Microsoft Money Sunset.
     
   • Go through your transactions and ensure that they are categorized correctly. You might need to re-categorize transactions that were incorrectly marked as business-related.
     
2. Customize Categories:
   
   • Microsoft Money allows you to create and customize categories for your transactions.
     
   • Create new categories that match your personal expenses, and assign transactions to these new categories.
     
3. Hide Unwanted Features:
   
   • Microsoft Money Sunset might have features related to business and personal finance. Explore the software's options or settings to see if there's a way to hide or disable business-related features.
     
   • Check for options that allow you to focus on personal use only.
     
4. Filter Transactions:
   
   • Use filters to show only the transactions relevant to personal use.
     
   • You can filter transactions based on dates, categories, accounts, and other criteria.
     
5. Remove Business Accounts:
   
   • If you have added business-related accounts, consider removing them to simplify the view.
     
   • This should help in removing business-related transactions associated with those accounts.
     
6. Reconcile Accounts:
   
   • Regularly reconcile your accounts to ensure accuracy and to identify any business-related transactions that need to be corrected or re-categorized.
     

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
