Today I booted up my PC to discover that there were three conhost.exe's running. I know that the file is normal and is made by Microsoft, but I was concerned due to the number of them running when I had nothing open. One of them was a System Process and led to System32. The other two were running as user processes. Both of them were located in System32 as well. I ran MalwareBytes and found nothing. Also, is the process normally supposed to be ended, or does it not allow you to? Should I be concerned?
