    What does the svchost do?

    Lots of Windows services are tied to the SVChost, and /or are listed as SVChost in the process list(s).

    Unfortunatley with Vista, there's a lot more dependencies between the services, and thus you'll be FORCED to run more instances of SVChosts; unlike XP where things were more independent and you could disable more features resulting in less SVChost instances. That and XP and Vista are different.

    Regardless of your Windows version, you can check out some service slimming guides or goto Black Viper's website and take his advice. Depending on your needs you may be able to cut down the amount of SVChost running, and save some RAM.

    XP should never have an SVChost using 50mb. Vista however can.

    RAM Died: svchost error

    svchost is part of the OS, it just interacts with other aspects.

    Microphone is used by svchost

    Unable to use Microphone

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to use the Microphone of the Headset to talk to people. It would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:



    • What happens when you try to use the Microphone?
    • What is the make and model of the headphone?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    However, let me help you with the steps to setup the Microphone. I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10    .



    You can also try making the Microphone as the default device. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run       dialog box.
    2. Type mmsys.cpl and click on
      OK      .
    3. Now, click on Recordings tab.
    4. Now, right click on the Microphone and select
      Set as Default device. Do the same in Playback and
      Recording tab.
    5. Click on OK, and check if the Microphone is working.


    For additional information, see
    Fix microphone problems    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,
