    Windows svchost process


    Hi

    I have literally go not idea what's happening here but what bi have highlighted here is the svchost process, there's about 30 of these showing up.... Not using up cpu usage but its eating away my memory. Anyone have a clue what is going on and how I can sort this out. Cheers

    Analyzing Svchost processes in Windows

    Here's how to track down detailed information about any Svchost.exe process running in Windows 7/8.

    a) You can use the Tasklist command-line tool to learn which services are running in a Svchost.exe. Just run cmd (command prompt) and hit

    Tasklist /svc /fo list

    Scroll through the list and find what you need. It's not quite intuitive so you can use third party programs with gui. See below:

    b) You can use svchost viewer. Best utility. Note: to run this under XP you need .Net framework 2.0

    c) Svchost Process Analyzer is another app for that.

    d) And another app called Svchost lookup tool

    e) And it won't hurt if you use Process Explorer and System Explorer.


    It's never bad to keep your system under control, plus all these apps are portable no installation is required.

    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.

    Windows svchost process

    What does the svchost do?

    Hi

    What does the svchost do that runs when you check the list on the taskmanager - processes?

    It loads like 5 or 6 of these when windows is running...

    I only have 512mb ram and this takes about 50mb total that I can see. And you can't disable it either.

    Any help welcome*Smile Windows svchost process :)
