Answer 2

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

According to your description, this situation may be due to these process names and categories following naming conventions inherited from Windows 10 and earlier versions, which does not mean that there is a problem with your system or that Windows 10 processes are installed. Windows 11 is developed on the basis of Windows 10, and many core components and services are named and functionally identical to Windows 10 to ensure compatibility and stability. For example, processes such as host service, local system, and network service are part of the Windows operating system and are responsible for managing the basic services of the system. These names are consistent and remain unchanged across multiple versions of Windows.

 

Best regards，

Jill Zhou
