Conhost.exe no description

Hello

Recently, I've been checking my task manager, when I noticed a process, called conhost.exe (which is a valid windows process) has been added in the process, but when I looked forward in it, there was no description, or I would like to open the location of the file, properties, or even close. (access is denied)
I checked with the malicious file from microsoft Aug-2013 proposed removal tool, but it has not found anything.
I'm a little worried about that it can not be closed, but when I opened the 'run' conhost.exe he desc and is resealable.
Please answer soon as im quite worried :)

Hi Mahdi,

The conhost.exe process sitting in the middle between CSRSS and cmd.exe allows Windows 7 to fix both problems in previous versions of Windows. I suggest you to see the following link for more information.

    Nice try at a recovery of Mr. Smithers, but a clear reading of the issue and a quick answer, that's what is needed.  I always run virusware and malware.

    From what I've determined, conhost.exe does not (or should not) be on a Vista system. And, if you read my question, it is not on my system, only in my msconfig file, so I just disabled this line.

  • How to disable the console (conhost.exe) host

    For Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 whenever you open a console program, the system opens another process called conhost.exe, to apply windows themes and activate the drag & drop feature in this console window.
    As much as I themes disabled, that I never use drag & drop in the console windows (I promise you :)), which each of this process takes at least 2 MB of RAM and, more importantly, according to sysinternals process explore each conhost.exe process has more than 2500-3000 switches context per second (thus reducing the performance of the entire system) I would like to restore the old behavior of windows Vista/2008 and completely disable the conhost.exe.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • __And C://Windows/system32/Services.exe hacks C://Windows/system32/conhost.exe

    Record unauthorized access, after running Norton scan, I thought I have check the history would see what he had done recently
    and I noticed that
    C://Windows/system32/conhost.exe
    C://Windows/system32/services.exe
    Be the medium threat for "unauthorized access logged data.

    I was wondering what were these since the Conhost (which does not resemble a good name) appears more than once in the same thing.

    Is that a threat or not? I know that Norton detects a lot of things unnceisary and why it would just log the problem and not do something if it was a threat.

    Answers appreciated muchly

    * edit *.
    Im not sure if I did, it's clear there was no threat in the scan (other than cookies) not detected that came from the history of safety.

    Virus and malware usually do their best to hide behind innocent names. You would never find a virus with a name such as "virus.exe", for obvious reasons. So, it is quite reasonable to assume that 'conhost' does not relate to a con-job. As far as I know, it is called by the shell, and the "con" refers to the "Console".

  • Even if the PC is slowed, conhost.exe starts on 5 times in the Task Manager.

    Process of OT:Running.

    I noticed that when my PC is idle, conhost.exe starts on 5 times in Manager tasks. This opens also cmd.exe and taskeng.exe with it so when I close conhost.exe, the other 2 farm as well. Norton EAST, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Scanner grew nothing and even when processes are running, it does not affect the performance of my PC. So I am looking far a virus/malware and to some kind of error. Any suggestions?

    I would be guessing that when your computer is 'idle', you have open command (cmd.exe) prompt.

    Hello

    Yes, the Conhost.exe file is needed under Windows 7.

  • Why are there seven of the process called "conhost" running?

    I've seen other questions like this, but each answer or solution that they give to the user just won't work for me. My problem is that in "Task Manager" under the "Processes" tab there are about seven of the process 'conhost.exe' running, and when I click 'End process' to each other, they reappear in less then a minute. Another process that is open is "taskhost.exe" and there are about four of them running. In this photo that I took, I would like to know why everything I put in a box is running. He also says that Notepad is open when it isn't. Every detail is that it is still open even when I restart my computer.

    The picture is not very clear, and the Description list should be expanded to read the full text,

    But what I can make out...

    - cmd.exe - would be Windows command prompt, which looks like you've opened twice (or maybe are

    in the process of running in the background?).

    - conhost.exe - Console window host (which is what you'll see with the extended Description) has to do with the console Windows (command prompt). It is a "fix" to the command line that allows to cut and paste.

    If two of them would have to do with the open cmd prompt.

    If you R / click each entry and select open file location it brings you to the System 32 file.

    -Re - open after you finish the task it is dependence and interaction of other processes.

    -If the machine is on a network, the other conhost.exe can reflect what's open on these machines.

    -Some Services also to open up other instances of conhost.exe.

    -However, it's the short story. Apparently, there are many other programs that use conhost.exe

    and it's another companion, csrss, but to find them all would take time and research.

    - Notepad - which I guess you have open.

    Taskhost - tasks of four windows running

    -Restart Windows can decrease the number of conhost.exe "opened", unless you have the startup programs

    loading in the background that use this process

    (type - msconfig - in the command run - click in the Configuration of the system at boot).

    You can also try from the clean boot and comparing what processes still work in this State.

    Method 1:

    Method 2:

    Try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • 2 apparently valid csrss.exe files

    I have 2 versions of the csrss. running exe file. I seem to have one different problem than others with this issue. In the Task Manager: show the user as 'System', both under Win32, the two will allow me to complete the process, but I get the BSOD with the two, in the properties they are exactly the same... even the same install date. It uses 1-2 mb while another uses 5-6 mb, shows 0 cpu. Only reason why I checked, is that I have installed a new virus protector that won't start. Their support has called for one is a Trojan horse that weaken their software. Everything else seems OK, no slow downs or software problems. Operating system is Win7 64 bit.

    You get a csrss.exe plus one for each connected user. You will also have an another csrss.exe conhost.exe running if you start a command prompt.

  • Script errors often slow Firefox, does not and the display no longer responds.

    In recent weeks, firefox has often been insensitive, usually represented as "does not. It lasts anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes (maybe more, but by this amount of time, I lose patience and "end task" in the Task Manager.) It is usually followed by an error "the script is not responding. What script it's varies. I answered by clicking on "stop script" which usually fixes the problem temporarily.

    The problem seems to occur more often at random, but happen always predictable on site with videos like youtube. Here, it's also worse, take much longer to solve if we do at all. I have active flashblock, and sometimes the error occurs before I got the chance to activate the video and sometimes after, but occurs systematically. In addition, on this kind of site, the error "the script is not responding" will also go on which most of the time, which I have not seen anywhere else, which means that the only solution, after a certain time must end the process in the Task Manager. Sometimes, I tried to play the same video for half an hour without success.

    As I have spent some time in the Task Manager, I noticed that I find myself with many processes running for FlashPlayerPlugin_15_0_0_152.exe * 32 (Description: Adobe Flash Player 15.0 r0.) They accumulate more I use firefox, but disappear when I restart my computer. I'm away until at least 50 at any given time. Most use 128 or 124 K of memory, but about 1 in 7 uses between 1-5000 K. I don't know if it is related to these issues, but I only noticed it since it was started.

    I tried to reset firefox and it changed nothing of the above.
    If it helps, I've used Windows 7. Do not hesitate to ask for more details on my system and I will do my best to answer, although I'm not a computer expert. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Please update to version 32 and make sure that it also does not happen with the disabled extensions/addons.
