8What Is Application Frame Host Process on Windows PC [Guide]
Windows Store apps acquired from the Windows Store differ from Desktops apps in a way that they cannot investigate or collect information from other apps. Moreover, these apps rely on another additional process to display their content in a separate window on the Windows computer using Application Frame Host. The Application Frame Host utilizes a small fraction of CPU memory to comfortably run in the background but shows a sharp rise as soon as some Universal Windows Platform apps are launched.
Open the Task Manager on Windows 10 and you’ll see an “Application Frame Host” background process running. This process has the file name “ApplicationFrameHost.exe” and is part of the Windows 10 operating system.

Although most of the apps that come with Windows 10 (such as Mail, Calculator, OneNote, Movies & TV, Photos and Groove Music) are UWP apps, these are available from the Windows Store.
To be specific, whether you are using Windows 10 in desktop mode or tablet mode, the Application Frame Host process is aimed at displaying these applications in frames (windows) on your desktop. If this process is forcibly ended, all open UWP apps will be closed.
