I am having a very weird issue that I am unable to see w3wp.exe anywhere in my system. I am learning ASP.NET using tutorials. In my computer w3wp.exe process is not showing in the taskmanager. Please help, I got frustrated by searching it throughout the whole day. I have iis7.5 installed!

If you can't find w3wp.exe then IIS is not currently running. Make sure that the IIS Admin service is started, the WWW service is started, the application pool is started and the IIS website itself is started. Are you using Local IIS ( w3wp.exe ) or VS Development Server ( WebDev.
Open Visual Studio in Administrator Mode, then Debug -> attach to process -> tick the check box "Show processes from all user", select w3wp.exe.
Open the Windows Task Manager, ensure that the PID and Command Line columns are shown on the screen. For all w3wp.exe processes, check the value of the Command Line argument. Find the w3wp.exe process that has the target application pool name mentioned in the Command Line column.
The w3wp.exe will not appear until the first request has entered the pipeline. So if you browse to your site and then open your task manager, you will see the w3wp.exe.
