The dllhost.exe process is amongst the integral components of MS Windows OS versions. Also known as the Microsoft DCOM DLL Host Process, the dllhost.exe application is an OS-initialized file. This means the dllhost.exe process is executed by the MS Windows OS to run during boot time. The dllhost.exe process is important for the stability and functionality of MS Windows-based machines since it monitors DLL-based activities in the background. Thus, the dllhost.exe file manages the applications installed on the MS Windows-based machine with regards to its DLL-based activities. With this, the dllhost.exe file should not be altered, removed, or renamed in any way. In addition, the dllhost.exe process should not be terminated through the Windows Task Manager since doing so will affect the functionality of the applications running on the MS Windows-based machine, which frequently results to system crashes, data corruption, and registry damage among others.
