Every now and then, while working with Windows Vista and Windows 7, the operating system may give you the following error message: “Host Process for Windows Services Has Stopped Working”. This error points to svchost.exe and rasmans.dll_unloaded and despite it is still unclear why it is triggered, here is a nice workaround to fix it.
- Click Start.
- In the Search bar, type Task Scheduler and press Enter.
- On the left pane, click on Task Scheduler Library, Microsoft, Windows, RAC.
- Now, click the View Menu and tick Show Hidden Tasks.
- In the middle pane, right click on RACTask and click Disable.
- Done!

Disabling RAC cannot work. It cant stop notifications. Even if you get rid of the NT ‘notify’ folder in the registry, the message will still pop up. The only diff is it wont interfere with the program, it’ll just ask you to close the program – repeatedly – annoyingly.
Just get rid of vista – all versions are crap.

Hello, yeah this is nice and helpfully but it doesn’t work I still get the the message so it does not really do anything to stop the message or fix it

1) Try to see if you have conflicts in your drivers. Some users has reported that, by uninstalling a VSO driver named pcouffin.sys in the device manager, he managed to solve the issue.
2) Try to scan your PC for viruses or spyware. Sometimes the error is triggfered by a virus.
3) The issue with this problem is that it is triggered by a lot of different causes so, finding the right one might be a real, royal pain in the butt!

Hi Web Talk,
How do you see if you have conflicts in your drivers? I tried to find pcouffin.sys in my Device Manager but I couldnt find it!
Thanks

All goes fine until the very last step: the middle pane reads ‘RACAgent’, not ‘RACTask’….any ideas? And your directions were very clear, thanks!!

I would also add, there is a great tool to help uncover sneaky little trojan like conflicker. It is free, no cost at ALL. It doesn’t fix the problem it finds, it just lets you know there is one. It’s called svchost process anaylzer.

I tried to follow the steps above, but I get the message ‘Task Scheduler service is not available. Verify that the service is running.’ – what does this mean?! How do you find out if there are conflicts with drivers??
