Follow this simple step:

Go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services

Go look for Terminal Services in the list. Change the status to “Automatic” or “Manual”. Either one works perfectly.

What is svchost.exe

Are you wondering why is it so many processes running with the name svchost.exe in the windows task manager?

What is svchost.exe? Will it harm my computer? I’m Worry:)

Basically, svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries. So in the layman terms, svchost.exe is used to load those .dll files into the memory so it can be called directly by other windows software that uses it. As you can see, .dll libraries files cannot be loaded directly by just double clicking on them. It is not an executable file. Therefore Microsoft developed svchost.exe to load these .dll into memory.

So far so good? Understand?

Basically this is a windows system file. It will not do any harm on your computer.

Why there are so many of them running at the same times?

That is because there are so many services running in the background which uses svchost.exe. Most of the windows services required svchost.exe to run them.

It is not a spyware or malware. So please do not be surprised. It is very common in all windows operating system.

Any questions? Please comment it here.
