How do I figure out what's running in a svchost process
-
I have one going bonkers on me eating a core for the last 15 minutes and generating 12k page faults/second over that time period (seems to be getting worse now). I'd like to pull the plug on it properly instead of just killing the process....

Are you running Vista or Windows 7? If yes, it is extremely simple to figure out. In th task manager highlight the svchost.exe process, right click, and select "Got To Services". This will indicate all the services running on the svchost.exe process.

I too wonder what it is... It's running on my machine too.

Just hover your mouse over any svcutil, it'll list all the processes within. You can't drill down to each of internal process though.

You can right click on svchost.exe and click properties. There is a services tab on the properties dialog box that appears.

I dunno. Mine came pre-installed with Windows 7 ultimate super duper special edition.

Interesting, I don't have this at work. I wonder if this will show up on the home machine? I'm curious if others have this as well?

Seriously? So what the hell does it do? Is it's name actually suggestive of its function, or is that just some amusing coincidence?

From the screenshots that doesn't appear to do anything that process explorer doesn't ie identify *which* of the two dozen odd services inside was guzzling all my performance.

correct. this, or procexp, will answer the question you asked, when used in combination with taskman.

I did:
tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe"
and it returned all of the services being ran by my svchost.exe. I was curious about this for some time since it seems task manager has alot of instances of this image running.

SVCHOST expands to Services Host. It is a container process which runs a set of services. In order to find out what services are running under a svchost, you can download and install Process Explorer from the internet. Expand the SVCHOST and it should show you the services running under that SVCHOST process. If you want to maximize your system performance and if you see any particular SVCHOST process taking up lots of CPU, just find out the services hosted by this process with the help of above procedure. Once you are aware of the serice which is decreasing your CPU's performance. You can go ahead and stop that service( It is not suggested to do so, until and unless you are very sure what this service is responsible for). In order to stop a service. Open Run prompt and type "services.msc" and enter. This should give you all the list of services installed on your machine. Aftter this you can select a particular service and you can chose to stop it. Hope this Helps!! Thanks, Sashi.

Process Explorer (see Google) will tell you what services are running in which invocation of svchost, and will also list the threads and open files of each process. You can get a stack trace of any thread, so if one is particularly busy you might be able to figuire out that it is doing.
