    Windows Console Host - 52 Instances in Task Manager


    Why are there so many of these running? What can I do to make them stop other than ending the process? When I try to do that it tells me it will cause Windows to be unstable or shut down.

    Multiple instances are running for Svchost.exe in Windows 10 task manager

    Hello Bane,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

    Svchost.exe is a process on your computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

    There can be multiple instances of svchost.exe running on your computer, with each instance containing different services. One instance of svchost.exe might host a single service for a program, and another instance might host several services related to
    Windows. You can use Task Manager to view which services are running under each instance of svchost.exe.

    Open Task Manager by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, then right-click an instance of
    svchost.exe in Details tab, and then click
    Go to Service(s). The services associated with the process are highlighted on the
    Services tab.

    Also suggest you to go for a complete system scan with Windows Defender or with any available Antivirus Software to make sure no virus is causing this issue. The

    Microsoft Safety Scanner     is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software. Do scan your PC by downloading Microsoft Safety
    Scanner.

    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

    Many Instances of File Picker UI Host

    Hello Jennifer,

    I was going to do all the things you suggested, but yesterday's Cumulative update might have fixed the problem, as there are no instances of File Picker UI Host showing up in Task manager. I will update this thread if it recurs.

    thank you.
