    Hi Tushar

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    In Windows 10, it is normal to have many, many versions of Scvhost (70+) running all the time, Windows 10 is multi-threaded and a lot of the processes in Windows are divided down into small processes so that can run on the different cores in the processor, and this actually keeps the system running fast, and does not slow your system

    The processes you can control are as follows:

    Turn off all unnecessary startup applications and processes:

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Click on the Startup Tab

    See any non-essential items are listed there

    If so, select and click 'Disable'

    Close Task Manager

    Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

    When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

    Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

    In the remaining list, see any non-essential items are listed there, uncheck any you find

    Click Apply and OK

    Turn off all unnecessary Background Apps

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Privacy - Background Apps

    Turn off any App you do not need running in the background

    Restart your PC

    By itself, the mere number of processes you see means nothing. What matters is what those processes are doing at any one time. It may be helpful to understand what a process is; they are designed to make your computer run faster, not slower.

    Large programs are chopped up into smaller pieces called processes, so instead of loading the entire program into memory and running it all at once, the computer only needs to work with these smaller pieces.

    Processes also make your computer more stable. If one of those processes runs into trouble, or crashes altogether, the rest of the program can keep on going. Were it not so, the entire program could crash, and take Windows with it.

    So don't be upset by the number of processes you see - I currently have 122 processes - but be glad they're there. It's a sign that your computer is working efficiently.

    By the same token, you should definitely not close processes on your own. That could make your computer unstable, or take it down. If you really feel that you must close a process, it should be because you've done your research and understand what program that process is part of, and what it does for your computer, and have determined that the process is causing harm to your computer.

    But to close processes for the sole reason that you think there are too many of them is madness. Besides, they're only going to return the next time your computer is restarted.
