process management

When it comes to managing processes on your Windows 11 machine, most users are accustomed to the good ol' Task Manager. This built-in tool has long served as an essential lifeline, particularly during that all-too-common moment when an app freezes and you need to summon the ancient art of "end...

It may or may not have come after an update, but Edge constantly uses too much CPU. Even closing it down doesn't kill the process and it keeps using CPU, I have to kill the process myself. Edge doesn't start at boot. Edge's behavior is also abnormal. If I click on the title bar, the computer...

I have been struggling with this for some time... At our company, like I assume at every enterprise, management believe that we (they) have implemented "least privilege principle", i.e. every software and every user has only those rights and privileges that are really needed for the task to be...

Hi Team, Looking to see if anyone here has come across this issue. Our team performed some in-place upgrades from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2019 Standard, which went well, and did not cause any issues with the installed applications on the server, but we found that the windows...

My computer was running slow and hot, and I noticed that a process called vmmem was using 85-99% of my CPU at all times. I ran wsl --shutdown in the command line, and shut down my computer. Now, my CPU is running at a more normal level, but I'm concerned that I have a virus on my computer. I...

Hi, I am using Windows 10 Enterprise on an IPC. After a certain runtime I get a blackscreen and have to restart the IPC. While troubleshooting, I noticed that in the task manager, Windows Defender takes more and more memory until it is used up, and the black screen appears. If I turn off...

I would like to know is it possible to make a cmd program in #C to monitor windows processes? CMD Starts and automatically sends tasklist command every 10 seconds. If new process starts during that 10 seconds it opens TXT or another CMD windows to inform me that process name and location...

Total Meltdown? Is my system vulnerable? Only Windows 7 x64 systems patched with the 2018-01 or 2018-02 patches are vulnerable. If your system isn't patched since December 2017 or if it's patched with the 2018-03 2018-03-29 patches or later it will be secure. Reference and further...

I've done a fairly cursory search through the forum, and haven't seen my specific issue mentioned, so here goes. I have Win7 and the screensaver is acting weird. Before anyone asks, I've checked all the settings regarding the amount of time before the screensaver comes on, before the computer...

Does anyone here know of a program or method by which to automatically force-close all threads of a running process when a "quit" or "close" action is utilized? Example: At various times, the Firefox process will continue to run in the background after the browser window has closed. I am...

I have a batch file I periodically run to sync my calendar from my desktop PC to my laptop. I last ran it several weeks ago. Went to run it the other day and it hangs on the tasklist command. The following checks to see if the calendar program is running on the laptop, if it is it uses...

I started using the Windows 7 built-in administrator account. I basically copied over all of the original user settings to the new administrator account, setting everything up through Windows. I've encountered a situation where it appears that the administrator internal settings are causing a...

A little while back, my computer started telling me that over 60% of my CPU was being used up by something, even while nothing was running on my PC. I opened resource manager and it's the .NET Framework installation utility running and not doing anything but using up over half of my processor. I...

Problems on my friend's laptop, which I'm trying to fix. First problem. Boot up (~35 seconds) and I'm on desktop. Open Start Menu and click on a program (say for example, IE). It loads for a bit, then the icon on the taskbar disappears. Let's open a different program, Chrome. Loads for a bit...

I have created a batch file to run three programs. However it doesn't run the first two just the last one. Whenever the batch file is running I see a window open and quickly close when each of the first two programs are requested to run. The window is only open for a second so I cannot see...

Ok, so most of everyone here knows that when you right-click the taskbar you can start task manager. What I want to do is make it start task manager by default with admin privileges. I mainly want to do this so that I can see processes from all users as soon as I click "Start Task Manager."...

Occasionally, I run into a process that won't die, even though the associated app has been closed, and even using the Task Manager"s "End Process" or "End Process Tree" fails to effect the process. That only way I've found to kill it is by rebooting, but of course, that is often very...
