Introduction
Windows always has many files running in the background. Those dozens of processes running in the background can be seen at the task manager. One of the common processes running is the client sever runtime process abbreviated as csrss, and it is a very important part of the operating system.

Part of its task included drawing window frames and menus to the screen and window management among other tasks.
The released windows NT4 back in the year 1996, removed all the graphics operations of csrss. This was done for the sake of improving the visual performance of OS. Since Windows 7 was launched, the only work of csrss been to shut down the GUI (Graphic User Interface and console) handling. CSRSS is a process that runs when the window is booting and not after. In case something is wrong with windows and it fails to start, that is when you will receive a blue screen error. It is normally called the blue screen of death.
