Hi Tushar
I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .
In Windows 10, it is normal to have many, many versions of Scvhost (70+) running all the time, Windows 10 is multi-threaded and a lot of the processes in Windows are divided down into small processes so that can run on the different cores in the processor, and this actually keeps the system running fast, and does not slow your system
The processes you can control are as follows:
Turn off all unnecessary startup applications and processes:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
Click on the Startup Tab
See any non-essential items are listed there
If so, select and click 'Disable'
Close Task Manager
Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter
When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab
Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'
In the remaining list, see any non-essential items are listed there, uncheck any you find
Click Apply and OK
Turn off all unnecessary Background Apps
Open the Settings App
Go to Privacy - Background Apps
Turn off any App you do not need running in the background
Restart your PC
Answer from DaveM121 on learn.microsoft.comHello, I have been using my new laptop for a few months now, and I do not know if there is stuff I need to uninstall. I am uncomfortable to see that I have a lot of background and windows processes, are these normal? I only use my laptop mainly for school purposes (anki, Microsoft office, evernote) and some hobbies (garena, genshin, steam, discord, taiga).
I want to clean and made my laptop's privacy and files secure. I also want to delete any apps/ programs that I do not personally need, but at loss on what to uninstall for fear that I might unstabilize the Windows or some sort. Please help!
Find out which background processes are not needed.
PC - are there any apps to kill unnecessary background processes while gaming?
How to stop unnecessary background processes?
Is there any Windows 10 processes that I should disable for optimal performance
Windows Search and Superfetch are two classics that eat up far too much resources for the benefit.
And Cortana if you can.

By itself, the mere number of processes you see means nothing. What matters is what those processes are doing at any one time. It may be helpful to understand what a process is; they are designed to make your computer run faster, not slower.
Large programs are chopped up into smaller pieces called processes, so instead of loading the entire program into memory and running it all at once, the computer only needs to work with these smaller pieces.
Processes also make your computer more stable. If one of those processes runs into trouble, or crashes altogether, the rest of the program can keep on going. Were it not so, the entire program could crash, and take Windows with it.
So don't be upset by the number of processes you see - I currently have 122 processes - but be glad they're there. It's a sign that your computer is working efficiently.
By the same token, you should definitely not close processes on your own. That could make your computer unstable, or take it down. If you really feel that you must close a process, it should be because you've done your research and understand what program that process is part of, and what it does for your computer, and have determined that the process is causing harm to your computer.
But to close processes for the sole reason that you think there are too many of them is madness. Besides, they're only going to return the next time your computer is restarted.
I have tried to keep our Windows gaming PC as tidy as possible; however, there is just too much running in the background for my liking when gaming.
Are there any apps/scripts that, when run, will kill or pause all unnecessary background processes? Then after gaming, will restart them?
