In the standard Task Manager, for example, withthe abnormal termination of some application, users of Windows computer systems are often faced with the presence of a working process taskhost.exe. Few know the Task Host Window service. What is it? On this account, even in the help system, especially nothing is explained. We understand what it is.
Task Host Window: what is it?
If you translate literally from English thisterm, it means "task host window". But, in principle, the very use of this term refers more to operating systems and is more correctly referred to as a Taskhost process or service Windows (meaning the platform for performing some processes of the “OS” itself, through which they are able to connect at a certain moment), and not otherwise . Please note that even when searching for a description of a service on the Internet, a request like “Taskhost Window” is absolutely inapplicable. This is the primary error in the name of the process itself.
In principle, the service itself can be characterizedas a component of launching additional DLL-type software libraries that cannot be launched using the standard method of opening an executable EXE file. Now a little more about what Task Host Windows is.
Principles of service
In fact, it is a system process.Let's take a closer look at the concept of the Task Host Window. It is not difficult to understand what it is with an example of using dynamic libraries (although the application does not use its own task window, based on this translation). The fact is that in Windows OS not all programs are launched only from executable files. Some of them contain extractable program code that is available in dynamic libraries.
For example, many plugins that connect tomusic sequencers or regular software players such as WinAmp or AIMP, have exactly the format of the libraries that are triggered at the time of requesting access to them. Yes, the simplest example: after all, the equalizer for the player cannot be launched without launching the main program, but in the program to which it is connected, the plug-in works for one hundred percent.
On the other hand, if you look into it, the developers claim that the service is responsible for running applications and libraries of 32-bit systems that differ from the executable components.
Notice, there are two more in the system itself.similar service. This is Rundll32 and Svchost. The first relates exclusively to the launch of dynamic libraries with a 32-bit architecture, the second is responsible for running applications as a whole.
So it turns out that the service, expressed in the form of Taskhost Window, is a regular doubler of the two processes described above.
Disconnecting
Now a couple more phrases about TaskHost Window. What can it be in terms of a shutdown in the system, what consequences does this have Yes, no. We can safely say that all those who are critical of the complete shutdown of this process, believing that this may disrupt the system’s performance, are absolutely wrong.
Believe me, there's nothing wrong with that.As practice shows, disabling exactly the described service in most cases only frees up system resources and contributes to an increase in productivity in the operation of any Windows OS.
