Process Explorer mentions (286)

• Windows Explorer and Desktop Window Manager high RAM usage

  If you run Process Explorer (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer) and enable process tree view, you can see what processes are running under explorer.exe. That should give you a better idea of what's consuming that memory if you're genuinely concerned about this. Source: 3 months ago

• Roblox doesn't launch for months on PC

  If you have any suspicious processes running onto your computer, close them IMMEDIATELY. I suggest using Process Explorer, as it has a Virustotal which submits all Executables to virustotal under 70+ antiviruses. If any of the processes have 3+ detections, Close them down as anticheats will detect it and stop you from running Roblox. Source: 3 months ago

• skype is using 20/30% of my CPU all the time even when its on the idle mode.

  If it is the former you can try Process Explorer and set the priority lower (to like 6 or even 4) and see what happens. You can also set the processor affinity with it to limit Skype to only use certain cores. Source: 3 months ago

• Today I learned you can pause the Windows Task Manager moving apps around

  Or Process Hacker (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/) which IMO is even better. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Windows Explorer memory leak (Windows 10)

  I can use Process Hacker and run "Reduce working set" on it, which makes explorer.exe instantly go down to ~100MB. However, it just starts leaking RAM again and it's a matter of hours until it grows back to several GB. Source: 7 months ago

• FACEIT Anti-cheat - Secure boot requirement update!

  I can't have a task manager style tool installed? It's completely safe and does NOTHING in terms of cheating, no other game has ever flagged it as false positive. Is this AC so bad that it sees the word "h4Ck3R" and thinks it needs to be removed? What else is this thing needlessly scanning my computer for? Source: 9 months ago

• Performance Mods for potato settings

• cpu spikes

  If you are on the latest BIOS, the next thing I'd be looking at is something that's hitting I/O, either use Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ or task manager to try and catch the process causing the problem. Source: about 1 year ago
