Within the management of an operating system such as Microsoft’s. We find different areas and aspects that on more than one occasion we have to work with them too.

For example, solve certain problems that we are having and two of them are the processes and services.

That is why today we are going to try to explain the difference between the two, although we want to do it in a way that any user can understand it instead of focusing on what happens internally in the operating system, we are going to see it.

What is Windows system process?

Its quick description would be that a process is nothing more than a running program or application. Which runs in the foreground.

We can interact with it. It offers us a functionality that we know and which at a given moment we can close or terminate it.

They usually run in the foreground and are those with which we can interact (For example, Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, Windows Explorer, Cortana, Remote Desktop, etc.,) although some of the processes that are constantly running in our team are applications from Microsoft’s own system with which we will not work directly.

At least consciously, the definition we have indicated is very close to being the real one.

Is task host window a virus?

No, task host window not a virus. It is a Windows work program.

What is a computer process and what does it do?

Surely you have even heard that killing a process in Windows, or that a program has been blocked. Today we will explain what it is about and we will also see the differences with a thread, a very popular term due to the processing threads.

What is a process

In computing, a process is basically a program that starts running. Processes are a series of instructions that seek to reach a final state or that seek to perform a specific task.

The most important thing about this concept is where a process comes from or what a program and an operating system really are.

The operating system is the basic software of a computer, with it, the user is able to interact from a graphical environment or through text inputs in the form of instructions.

The operating system is capable of running other processes within itself and even creating them through programming code and a compilation.

For its part, a program is an algorithm that generates a sequence of instructions with which we can perform a specific task.

Of course, current programs perform not only one, but many tasks thanks to having many of these algorithms in their programming code, each of them for a specific function.

We can understand this with a simple analogy of toasting bread in the morning:

• Now The operating system will be our house or the room where we are, which provides the means to execute the task.
• Next, The program will be the task we want to carry out, that of toasting the panel
• The processes will be the different tasks that we will have to do until we reach the solution: open the bread -next> plug in the toaster -next> place the bread -next,> wait for it to toast -next> remove it -next> disconnect the toaster.
• We are the processor, in charge of executing the sequence of tasks or processes.

How to add apps to start on Windows 10 startup

In general, when we use our Windows 10 operating system, it is very common for us to repeatedly open and uses the same applications, for example, as soon as we start the computer we access Google Chrome, Outlook or start a media player.

Well, these usual applications that we always end up running can be configured to start at the start of Windows 10, that is, once we start the system and reach the desktop, these applications will start automatically without us having to press on them, thus gaining a few seconds and thus achieving more comfort in day to day.

Achieving this objective is very simple since we only have to do the following:

• It’s time to Access Computer or Windows File Explorer.
  And you should access the following path: C:Next- ProgramData, Next- Microsoft> Next-Windows> Start Menu> Programs-Next> Start
  Paste there the shortcuts of the applications that we want to start at Windows 10 startup.
• Once you pasted the desired shortcuts there, then the operating system will access and consult that path at boot time and will execute all the files that are there. Thus making your applications open immediately and without further delay.
• Of course, you can add as many applications as you want but you must bear in mind that the greater the number of software to run. The longer time system needs to complete its startup and be fully functional. So it is advisable to find a balance between what you really do every day in the beginning and what is not so high a priority.

Therefore, if you want to gain in comfort and a few extra seconds, do not hesitate to review the software that you use in your day to day. And add a shortcut to that route to avoid having to open it manually and that it is our Windows that perform this process for us.

Conclusion:

This definition is somewhat sparse, but with the aim that our readers can obtain more knowledge about the difference between the two.

You could say that a process is an application with which you can work consciously and over which you will have control.

While A service is an application that the operating system itself will work with and over, which we have no more control than just stopping it or putting it into execution.

We perceive processes and work with them daily, while services are in the shadow working to the correct functioning of Windows.

We hope that this brief explanation that we have seen today can help our readers to gain more knowledge about the internal workings of Windows.
