Taskhost.exe: what kind of process, is it possible to get rid of it?

Starting with running Windows XP, and then Vista, 7 and 8, many, users are faced with the functioning of the inexplicable process taskhost.exe.Most users have no idea that in the process of taskhost.exe working at the moment.In addition, sometimes the load on the CPU can reach almost 100%.But is it possible to disable the program, and how to do it so as not to harm the entire system, we now know.

process taskhost.exe: what is it?

Find a detailed description of the process itself is not so too easy, not to mention the principles of operation of this system service, run on behalf of the user's local session attribute LOCAL SERVICE, SYSTEM or attribute that displays the user name.

No, it is not a user process in the sense that it is running by the user, a service system, but it starts in a particular user by entering their accounts.

Thus, the user is watching in the "Task Manager" launched an active process taskhost.exe.What is it in terms of the system itself?According to a brief description of Microsoft, this service is responsible for running 32-bit applications in a form other than the standard executable files with the extension .exe.The process itself is similar services svchost.exe and rundll.32.exe, as is able to simultaneously run custom processes and services of the local session extracting executable codes and commands that are in the format of dynamic libraries .dll.It is unclear, however, why it was set up back-up service, but as they say, Windows developers know better.

Why taskhost.exe process loads the CPU?

The idea is that if you look, the process really is a system, albeit run in each user session.Based on the foregoing, it is not difficult to guess that an excessive load on the processor can be related to the fact that this service is one of the processes of all the registered dynamic link libraries (instead of "hanging" in the process tree in the form of multiple services such as svchost.exe).Also do not forget that libraries simultaneously drawn and service rundll32.exe, but, apparently, it has priority process taskhost.exe.What this means for the system?Yes, but what is very often an unexpected conflict between the processes that seek first to upload a particular library.

In addition, many experts attributed the increased consumption of system resources that the process includes an activated function RacSysprepGeneralize, located in the dynamic library RasEngn.dll, relating to the standard "Task Scheduler» Windows.

Can I disable the taskhost.exe?

Now a few words about how it is possible to do this in the system without the annoying process.Yes, you can.However, disable the coercive methods in the "Task Manager" will fail.Rather, you can complete the process, but experience shows that after a while he again "rise again."

the disconnection process

First of all, you can try to disable itself "Task Scheduler."But it does not always help, because the above-mentioned functions RacSysprepGeneralize will still work.

to get rid of it, you must enter the section "Menu Scheduler" called from "Control Panel" from the selection sequence "Administration" and "Task Scheduler", and then repeat the gradual transition of the divisions'Microsoft », then« Windows »and« RAC ».Now, in the "View" menu is required to specify the display of hidden icons, then use the right-click the service or RACTask RACAgent (for Windows 7 and Vista, respectively).In the submenu, select the command "Disable", and then again to complete the process taskhost.exe in the "Task Manager."

If a virus

Not always, however, such a service can be attributed to the system components.In some situations the processes in the tree can be present and other suspicious service (or with two or more identical or non-systemic attributes) taskhost.exe.What is it in this case?

usual computer virus that will need to remove or cure the original file using a stationary anti-virus software or anti-virus utilities with that start even before the start of the "OSes".But as a rule, such situations are extremely rare.

Total

Here we reviewed the process taskhost.exe, how to remove it or get rid of malicious threats.Generally, the first component off method "Scheduler" is the most common, and without any interference in the system registry, or in the work "OSes" as a whole.As practice shows, disabling this service on the system is not affected, but frees additional resources.

However, as is already clear, the above described steps to disable taskhost.exe process must be done exclusively with the access to a computer terminal with administrative rights.Otherwise, this action will not conceive.

Roughly speaking, the user is not only not be able to disable the relevant services, but in some cases not be able to even enter the "Control Panel" for making any changes, because sometimes access can be blocked so that the label "Control Panel" in the"Start" menu did not appear, to say that from the command line to cause it does not work, no matter how hard you try.
