Each xtop process is associated with Creo being launched and is specific to date code. You can find a unique xtop process in the install path for Creo.

 

i.e. C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 7.0.7.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj

 

Here is task manager showing two xtop processes running when both Creo 4 and Creo 7 have been launched.
