The module pchsvc.dll is described as Microsoft PC Health Service Holder, which is a suite of features and technologies from Microsoft Corporation that provides easier access to support services and Help Content. It improves the user experience by providing access to the Microsoft Online Help and The Help and Support Service feature in newer versions of Microsoft Windows Operating System. A multi-tiered approach is employed by pchsvc.dll in responding to support issues. PC Health addresses system conflict and invalid issues through the ability of pchsvc.dll to provide information about DTD elements, and the elements are used to provide information to the Help and Support Center. A feature called Support Automation Framework (SAF) is accessed when the Help and Support Center Information cannot provide sufficient assistance. SAF applications enable users to escalate support incidents to the right support center. Support vendors are assisted by SAF to create their own support channels and incident submission applications by providing them with the infrastructure on which they can build on.
