How to reduce “taskhost.exe” CPU usage in windows 2007

Hi Vina Cook,

About "taskhost.exe", it is responsible for the processes that are running from the DLLs rather than from the EXEs. The number of "taskhost.exe" processes running are based on the number of DLL based services that are running. Apart from this if the "taskhost.exe" takes more usage means your system might be affected by virus/malwares. Check your system completely with antivirus. To find the "taskhost.exe" normal CPU usage boot in the safe mode and check your Task Manager.

About "chrome.exe", Google Chrome is designed in such a way that it creates new process for each tab. So for every tab you open, a new process is created. This is to avoid the crashing of application and spread process across multi-core systems.

Hope this helps you!!!!!!!!!!

How to reduce “taskhost.exe” CPU usage in windows 2007

Taskhost (taskhost.exe) is a generic host process for Windows 7 32-bit services. The file is located in “C:\WINDOWS\system32”. It is a generic process that serves as a host for processes that run from DLLs rather than EXEs. On Windows startup, taskhost checks the services portion of the registry to build a list of DLL-based services that needs to be loaded then loads them.

There can be many instances of taskhost running one for every DLL-based service or grouping of services. Now, if your computer has a high CPU usage when using the Google Chrome web browser, check if this also happens when the browser is not running. Close Google Chrome then check the CPU usage.

If the CPU usage drops when the browser is not running then the cause of the high CPU usage is the Google Chrome web browser. Usually, when CPU usage is high, the computer runs very slow. To troubleshoot the problem, run Google Chrome with all extensions disabled. This should stop the browser from using too much CPU.

Now, try enabling the extensions one after the other to check which extension is triggering the high CPU usage. Once you located the extension, check if that extension has an update and update it. Or, if you are not using it, you can remove it from the browser.
