What is the useful of this service (service host: local service (network restricted) ) It's allways run in my task manager when i dont work with my laptop . after I move the mouse it wil stop. What is this service do ?
 
Service host is just a tool/method that Microsoft provides to allow a programmer to run there program as a background task to provide a service for your machine.
A single host can have several of these programs wrapped up together. looking at my machine, I have 6 hosts, one is hosting 12 programs.. You can not determine what the service is providing unless you look at the process/programs wrapped up. Here is a pointer to some info on how to do that:
