    What is Data Exchange Host and why was it in my task manager?


    I know other posts exist, but the explanations don't really answer my question. I was toying with trying to fix some desktop notification issues related to Discord, and I noticed this task running. I shut down and started my PC and it disappeared.

    Research tells me it's related to virtual machines, something I don't use, and Hyper-V, something which I can't even find to turn off. It was only using 3 MB of my memory and nothing else. What do you all think was going on? Malwarebytes and Defender both come up clean when I do quick scans, and the task was certified by Microsoft and created back in May, implying it isn't some new malware (I would have caught it by now), but I need peace of mind.

    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".
