What does CompPkgSrv.exe do?

Anonymous

It's Component Package Support Service. It's not a Service. It's not malware or a virus.

It's in C:\Windows\System32

It's a Microsoft program.

What does it do?

Answer 2

Thanks Ivan,

>>Component Package Support Server is a legitimate file on Windows.

Can you be more specific? Is it a Microsoft application installed by Windows 10?

Does anyone have a more complete list of third party apps that use this? I do not have WinSCP installed, nor Chromium.

As I always do, I watch Task Manager like a hawk. This only recently ran for the first time since building this machine a few years ago.

Answer 3

Hi ,

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

It is originally located in the path “C:\Windows\System32”. While using some applications it may be triggered.

Component Package Support Server is a legitimate file on Windows.

Apparently it is a system that features components for third-party programs such as WinSCP or Chromium among others.

Hope this helps.
