SVCHOST is the most mysterious process in Windows, and many new users are puzzled by it. It is not a lonely party that does not know the truth. It is the service host of Windows, and many of the services that the system comes with run through it. A simple analogy, it is equivalent to the vest of system services. But SVCHOST sometimes CPU usage is very high, how to see through its vest to find the real murderer? We use the task manager to find out its culprit.

STEP01 enters the "Task Manager": Right click in the blank space of the taskbar, select "Task Manager" to open the Task Manager → enter the "Process" tab. You can also open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+ESC. Windows 7 will automatically hide the system process, we also need to click "Show all users' processes".
