What is a taskhostex exe file? I searched for it and I can not find any information about it. I know that taskhost.exe is normal under Task Manager, but I’m not sure about the nature of this taskhostex.exe.
Taskhostex.exe is part of the host process of the Microsoft Windows Host Task
The Host Task for Windows Tasks (TASKHOST) is a generic process that hosts hosted processes that do not run through .exe files, but through DLLs. At startup, TASKHOST consults the “Services” section of the registry to create a list of DLL-based services to load, and then load them. Taskhostex.exe is an instance of a program that is running. This 32-bit program runs with the permissions of the currently logged-in user account.
