Whenever your PC begins problems, most people try the infamous CTRL-ALT-Delete>Task Manager and determine what processes are running and where. Of course since the beginning of “Windows Time”, we haven’t seen much come about from the Windows Task Manager. A simple display of all running processes, their CPU ID and the memory that they are consuming. A lot of the time we don’t recognize a process and we resort to “Googling” what exactly one of them is. One of the most common processes you will always see is the SVCHOST.exe.
The problem with SVCHOST.exe is that it typically contains hidden processes within it. And you have no idea what processes these are without some type of third party utility like SVCHOST Viewer.
SVCHOST Viewer is a simple, single file executable file that can display what each of the SVCHOST files are and what is running within them. This can come in handy if you are trying to diagnose a problem with a particular exe attached to the SVCHOST process. This will display each of the files in a Windows Explorer like tree form, which you can expand individually.
