I opened task manager and saw "internet low-mic utility tool" as a background process for a bit and it disappeared. Is this normal? I have never seen this process before.

    Yes, and since its part of Windows, there is nothing to worry about :)

    Hi, Tqkend.

    I'm Jen, I'm also a Windows user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

    The Low MIC Utility Tool is part of the Microsoft process which helps secure and reduce malware attacks. You can check the link I shared below for more details.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards.

    Oh, thanks. So even if I don't use internet explorer this is normal?

    I barely open internet explorer though, so would it still be a process?
