SVCHost hosts all services on a workstation/server. It looks up in the registry for services to run and runs them. This is a pain because you can’t see which services are being run by which SVChosts.exe in the tasklist if you need to kill the associated process.
Typing “Tasklist /svc” at the command prompt will display all processes and their PID and in the case of processes hosting services you can see which services are being run by each SVChost process.
Very handy!
