    Too much Svchosts - Task Manager


    Hello, just a question, it's normal to have this amount of process on task manager? I've just installed Windows but I'm thinking that there are too many svchosts.

    each instance of a svchost is responsible for running 1 or more services.

    if you right click one of them and click go to services it will switch to the services tab and highlight the services running under than process
