With the newer Windows 11 task manager with the tabs on the side, (Win11 build 22621.1555) it seems every time I launch it, it renders a sporadic number of svchost.exe instead of a descriptive name. I'm not an expert but it seems like a rendering issue. Sometimes when I launch it, I see all descriptive names and no svchost.exe. And other times, there's a lot of svchost.exe... and everything in between. Anyone else noticing this with the newer style task manager with tabs on the side? Normal behavior? Perhaps I disabled one of the 5000 services that's causing this? :) This occurs on my gaming rig as wells as an old PC (Win11pro builds 22621.1555 and 22621.1265). Screenshot to follow. Thanks so much!

EIDT: I'm referring to the Processes view and not Detailed view.

Varying numbers of Svc Host are and have been normal for a long time. It's not something you're going to change, so don't worry about it. It's just the Windows OS doing its thing.

If you want to improve your PC, look elsewhere! Disable all the crapola running in the background, then clean out all the thousands of junk files inhabiting your HD. Then make sure you're not running any programs, like multiple AV or AS software that can cause problems with the OS.

Cheers Mate!

OK. Thanks! Already cleaned a lot of stuff.

Just to be clear, I wasn't referring to the number of processes in the Task Manager which is roughly the same amount, but just how the names are displayed in the Processes View tab.. You can open the Task Mgr up 2 different times 20 seconds apart and the rendering of the names will be different. Normal? Thanks!

OK, you're welcome. Again, it's controlled by the Windows OS, and not something that's under your control, so why worry about it?

I hope you can enjoy your little PC, without worrying about things like that. I do!

Cool. Thanks! Just wanted to make sure my wording was correct, coming from a non-expert.

I went straight from Windows7 to Windows 11. I think in Windows 7, I only had 28 services enabled. When I look at the amount of services in Win11Pro, I just about slide off my chair.
