Windows – How to determine what particular service does an svchost process represent

processsvchosttask-managerwindowswindows 7

When I open Windows Task manager and look at the Processes tab I can see numerous svchost.exe processes and one of them uses to produce serious and continuous CPU load from time to time. Needless to say I am quite curious what particular service this actually is. Is it possible to determine?

Best Answer

All you need to do is click on the particular instance of svchost.exe you want to examine, right-click on it, and then choose "Go to service(s)". It'll take you to the appropriate service from there.
