This is a Windows system installed file with Windows File Protection (WFP) enabled.

Host Process for Windows Tasks (TASKHOST) is a generic process which acts as a host for processes that run from DLLs rather than EXEs. At startup TASKHOST checks the Services portion of the Registry to construct a list of DLL-based services that it needs to load, and then loads them.

taskhostex.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges. The file is digitally signed by Microsoft Corporation. This version is installed on Windows 8 and is compiled as a 32 bit program.
