Each user of a modern Windows system, one way or another, in the process of work calls the Task Manager, where all running applications, services and processes are displayed. Many people pay attention to a system component called conhost.exe. What it is, and why this service is needed at all, will now be considered.
What is conhost.exe in task manager?
For uninitiated users, we note immediately that this system service is required to be enabled. It first appeared in Windows Vista, adding to the csrss.exe process, which was originally present in the "expiry".
If we talk about what the conhost.exe process is, in simple terms, it should be noted that it is responsible for fixing a long-standing problem related to the drawing of console windows (for example, a command-line window similar to what it used to be in DOS systems )
