- Fixing SVCHost.exe Errors Svchost.exe (which stands for "Service Host") is a host process found on recent versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system. Multiple services required by your hardware and software will run in conjunction and at the behest of svchost.exe, which scans the Services portion of the registry when Windows boots and starts the critical service processes. Many important functions of your computer, such as networking and file sharing, run as services hosted by svchost.exe. Typically, a group of related services will all run under the same instance of svchost.exe.
