It is part of the Windows Insider Program, which tests new updates and features before they are released to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main purpose of this process is to gather telemetry data and user feedback from Windows Insider Program participants and send it to Microsoft for analysis. To give you a better idea, we have detailed some of the key functions performed by this file.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live Tiles and Notifications: This program manages the live tiles on the Start Menu, helping you to access real-time information from apps, like news headlines, calendar events, weather updates, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notifications and Action Centre: AggregatorHost.exe handles notifications from various system events and apps. It also controls the Action Centre, where you can view and respond to these notifications.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taskbar Previews: When you hover your mouse over an icon on the taskbar, the small preview images that pop up are created and displayed by AggregatorHost.exe.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normally, you can locate this file in the \u201cC:\\Windows\\System32\u201d directory along with Microsoft Corporation\u2019s signature which indicates its authenticity. But sometimes, malicious programs disguise themselves as AggregatorHost.exe to avoid detection. So, you need to be careful of those fake files as they can be harmful to your PC. They might contain malware strong enough to corrupt your system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_The_Authenticity_Of_AggregatorHostexe\"><\/span><b>Checking The Authenticity Of AggregatorHost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.exe<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is always not possible to determine the authenticity of the AggregatorHost.exe process by just looking at the file. By chance, if you have malware disguised as AggregatorHost.exe, your PC will be at risk. This is why it is crucial to verify the legitimacy of the file as soon as you notice it lurking in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To check the authenticity of the AggregatorHost.exe file, you should follow these methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Verify_the_Location\"><\/span><b>Method 1: Verify the Location<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that the AggregatorHost.exe file on your PC is not authentic, you should start by verifying its location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
