What is MQSVC.exe?
Microsoft Message Queuing or MSMQ is a Message Queue implementation. MSMQ is essentially a messaging protocol that allows applications running on separate servers/processes to communicate in a failsafe manner. A queue is a temporary storage location from which messages can be sent and received reliably, as and when conditions permit.
Overview
mqsvc.exe runs as a service under the name Accodamento messaggi (MSMQ) with minimal NETWORK SERVICE privileges on the local PC and acts as the computer on the network. The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). This version is installed on Windows 8 and is compiled as a 64 bit program.
