You may be overwhelmed when you open up the task manager and see programs that you don’t know using up more resources. But ideally, there will be some legitimate windows programs running in the background. Although in the worst-case scenario, there might also be some malicious programs running. Normally, you cannot tell the difference without doing some research on the name. In this guide, let us understand what AggregatorHost.exe is, what are its functions and whether it is safe or harmful for your computer.
You might have come across a process named “AggregatorHost.exe”, which runs in the background. You might be wondering what that AggregatorHost.exe process is and whether it is safe or harmful. So here in this article, we are going to explain what it is and how you can disable it in case you want to.
What is AggregatorHost.exe
Aggregator host is a windows process that runs in the background. Although some people reported that the process started appearing in windows preview or beta builds, making it most uncommon. But we were not able to identify the publisher of the process because it does not have any data associating it with any publisher. Although so far, it did not perform any malicious tasks. It’s just something that runs in the background as a part of other windows processes.
A deeper look into the process and some research make us think that the process may be associated with Windows’s telemetry collection. We might be wrong here, but there aren’t any clear views on this process. We also found out that the process is available even on clean installation. This means that the process should have originated from Microsoft itself, making it to be somewhat legitimate.
