Fix SVCHOST Errors and Problems with SVCHOST Viewer

Freeware, Windows

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.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since. My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up. Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about.
