Yes, you can see the svchost.exe in the Windows Task Manager and cannot do much with it, not only under Windows 11, 10, ... etc.!The svchost.exe is responsible for starting services in all Microsoft Windows. The executable file "Svchost.exe" is located in the folder "%SystemRoot%\System32" or C:\Windows\System32 When Windows starts, "Svchost.exe" checks the registry to compile a list of services that need to be loaded. Do not be surprised, several instances of "Svchost.exe" can be executed at the same time and you think that the system has been infected by a virus or trojan. But the thing is, each Svchost.exe session contains its own set of services. It depends on the way in which Svchost.exe is called which different services are running. This grouping of services provides a better overview and control. If you enter the command Tasklist /SVC in the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe), you can see an overview of Svchost.exe and the associated services started!
