Star

Wininit.exe starts key background processes within Session 0. It starts the Service Control Manager (services.exe), the Local Security Authority process (lsass.exe), and lsaiso.exe for systems with Credential Guard enabled. Note that prior to Windows 10, the Local Session Manager process (lsm.exe) was also started by wininit.exe. As of Windows 10, that functionality has moved to a service DLL (lsm.dll) hosted by svchost.exe.
