Обзор приложения Task Manager

При первых признаках снижения производительности компьютера пользователи запускают «Диспетчер задач», дабы выяснить виновника подвисаний и предпринять соответствующие меры. Ирония заключается в том, что проблемным процессом может оказаться именно «Диспетчер задач». Давайте узнаем ответ на два самых главных вопроса: Task Manager Windows 10 что это и как остановить?

Task Manager — что это

Task Manager – это стандартное приложение в Windows, отвечающее за мониторинг и контроль запущенных процессов и служб. С его помощью можно определить степень нагрузки на аппаратную составляющую каждого модуля системы и запущенного приложения. К основным функциям можно отнести:

• запуск и завершение процессов;
• приостановка работы служб и изменение их параметров автозапуска;
• редактирование модуля автозагрузки;
• отладка запущенных приложений;
• смена активных пользователей.

Почему грузит процессор

С помощью этой утилиты можно завершить процесс зависшей программы, не прибегая к перезагрузке компьютера. Поэтому существует две основные версии возникновения проблем с Task Manager:

1. Заражение вредоносными программами. Если у вас стоит лицензионная версия Windows, единственной причиной остается проникновение в систему вируса, повреждающего Task Manager или маскирующегося под него.
2. Пиратская версия Windows. Все сборки нелицензионных версий ОС делаются вручную. Поэтому вероятность повреждения какого-либо компонента системы довольно велика.

Как отключить Task Manager

Исходя из первой проблемы, очевидное решение — глубокое сканирование памяти компьютера с последующим лечением или удалением зараженных файлов. Для этого:

1. Скачайте антивирус Dr.Web CureIt! с официального сайта и выполните глубокое сканирование памяти жесткого диска и ОЗУ.
   
2. После окончания процедуры следуйте подсказкам утилиты по дальнейшему лечению или удалению объектов.
3. Загрузите и установите CCleaner.
4. Очистите ПК от временных файлов и старых логов.
   
5. Удалите пустые и устаревшие ключи реестра.
   
6. Перезагрузите компьютер.

Если ничего не помогло и версия ОС у вас не оригинальная – единственным выходом является переустановка системы на лицензионную.

Теперь вы знаете, что это за процесс Task Manager и как его оптимизировать. Для предотвращения подобных ситуаций в будущем настоятельно рекомендуется пользоваться оригинальным программным обеспечением последней версии. Со всеми вопросами жду в комментариях!

Windows 10 Task Manager shows 100% CPU but Performance Monitor Shows less than 2%

Today,I have updated my PC to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 pro.

Everything is working fine except Task Manager in Windows 10. Task Manager always shows 100% CPU , which is incorrect as per the Performance Monitor application. I have verified CPU usage with other 3rd Party application as well, which all show CPU usage as indicated by Performance Monitor. Someone please help me if there is a fix for this issue.

CPU:Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3.40GHz

RAM: 12GB

Motherboard:Intel Corporation DH67CL

Im also having the same isuse with the following computer spec:

CPU:Intel Core i7 2500k @ 4.3 GHZ

RAM: 8GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570

Wonder if it has some weird interaction with Sandybridge chipset.

I think I can explain this problem but I don’t have a fix. Perhaps the explanation will spur someone to figure out a fix.

The System Idle Process is missing from the task manager. As a result, 100% usage is always shown because the sum total of actual processes excluding idle time will always be 100% by definition. Therefore what you see instead is 100% total usage, and the individual processes in the list are reflecting a percentage of processor usage of what would normally remain after idle time is excluded.

For example, suppose this is the actual usage that would normally be shown:

Process Explorer 2%

Task Manager 0.2%

Total CPU: 4% (100% possible — 96% idle = 4%)

But we don’t see System Idle. Instead we see the following:

Process Explorer 50%

Total CPU: 100% (100% possible — 0% idle = 100%)

and so on. In other words the total possible CPU is 100%, so if System Idle is 96%, this leaves 4% being actually used by processes. In this example Process Explorer is using 2%, so it displays as 50% because 2% is half of 4%. In effect, total CPU us being miscalculated because System Idle is missing and so programmatically it is being treated as if it is 0%. This then breaks the calculations for total CPU time as well as the percentage calculations for each individual remaining process.

To resolve the problem, it must be understood why System Idle is not being displayed by the task manager, which probably involves some damaged registry setting. If anyone can figure this out, please post a fix.

CPU Constantly at 100% In Task Manager, But Not in Process Explorer

Starting yesterday, I have a very odd problem on my Windows 10 desktop— my CPU is constantly running at 100% (according to Task Manager), and it isn’t throttling down. Because of this, it’s constantly running at 3.3 GHz and the temperatures are rising to the point where the fans kick in at full force. If I go into the Windows power settings screen and manually change the processor power maximum to 50%, then it’s capped at 50% frequency (

1.5 GHz), but it never goes below the maximum possible frequency.

The weird thing is, when I look at the process list, there isn’t really anything obvious that’s triggering it. None of the processes are abnormal, and though the process CPU percentages do add up to 100%, it doesn’t make sense to me that each individual process is taking up as much CPU as Task Manager says it is. Everything seems to be «using» a significantly higher amount of CPU resources than it normally does.

As an attempt to diagnose the problem, I’ve also tried using Process Explorer. The really weird thing is that Process Explorer shows only 1-2% usage when idle, with the System Idle Process taking up the remaining

98% as I would expect. Again, nothing looks out of the ordinary in the process list, but the processes are showing the levels of activity I would expect in Process Explorer.

I’ve already run both Windows Defender and Malware Bytes (a virus was my first guess), but nothing has turned up yet.

This same issue also occurs in Safe Mode, so I’m guessing that it’s more along the lines of something to do with Windows itself.

• Windows 10 Desktop
• Intel 970, 3.3 GHz, 6 cores
• Task manager and resource monitor graphs shows 100% usage total
• No individual process is taking up significant resources in the resource monitor list
• CPU is not throttling down automatically based on the dynamic load, causing high temperatures and the fan to kick in
• Process Explorer is only showing 1-2% CPU usage

Before I go uninstalling everything, how would I figure out what’s causing the issue if nothing weird is showing up in Task Manager or Process Explorer?

How to open Task Manager in Windows

Most Windows users will be familiar with this problem: Their computer noticeably slows down and the execution of programs or processes grinds to a halt, yet, they can’t see which application is causing the slowdown. In some cases, open windows freeze and stop responding to your commands.

If this sounds familiar, the Windows operating system series (as of Windows 2000) provides a practical tool to help you: the Windows Task Manager. This handy program provides an overview of all running processes alongside information about the computer’s power consumption. We’ll show you the options for opening the Task Manager.

What is Windows Task Manager?

When a user launches and uses one or several programs, these user-controlled processes join a whole host of default processes that are already running in the background. Typically, a browser with several tabs, a text editor with an open document, an email client, a graphics program, and software for playing background music may all run at the same time. Though it’s true that these applications are clearly visible via their distinct symbol on the taskbar, their exact influence on PC performance cannot be discerned at first glance.

The Windows Task Manager gets rid of this uncertainty by offering an overview of all applications running in the background. When you discover an unnecessary process, you also have the option of ending this directly from the Task Manager. The practical tool provides detailed information on individual processes. Below you can see a quick overview of the most important tasks in the Task Manager:

• A process’s CPU and memory utilization (CPU is the abbreviation for “Central Processing Unit” and denotes your computer’s main processor)
• A process’s data carrier utilization
• Network load triggered by a process
• A process’s power consumption
• A list of programs in which autostart is activated

This information allows you to spot a program running at high capacity that you do not even need or use. You can deactivate these directly from within the Task Manager or uninstall them from your computer.

The Task Manager provides a list of all active processes and detailed information regarding them.

Open Task Manager with your mouse, keyboard or a shortcut

Windows offers several options for opening the Task Manager. The handy program can be called up using your mouse, your keyboard, or a nifty Task Manager key combination. The option you go for depends on your personal preference. If your operating system is no longer responding properly, however, opening the Task Manager is the way to go. This is the case if all programs and windows are frozen.

Below, we explain the various options for opening the Task Manager. The instructions and pictures refer to Windows 10, however, they also apply to Windows 7 and 8 with only a few changes.

Are you not sure which Windows version you are using? Check out our article “Find Out Your Windows Version” to see the version you’re currently using in just a few steps.

Opening Task Manager with a shortcut

Key combinations are usually the quickest option for accessing applications. Task Manager is no different. When you press the three keys [ctrl] + [alt] + [del] at the same time, Windows will open a simple menu on a plain background. Select the “Task Manager” option in this menu to launch Task Manager in a new window.

If you use Windows 7, this option is displayed under “Start Task Manager” in the menu.

However, Windows also offers a quick and easy Task Manager key combination that will take you straight to the tool. For this, hold down the [ctrl] + [shift] + [esc] keys at the same time. Task Manager will then open automatically without requiring any further mouse clicks.

Start Task Manager from the “Run” dialog window

You can also open the Windows Task Manager using the “Run” dialog window – the tool you may have used to send short text commands to the operating system. You can bring it up either by opening the Start menu (by clicking the Windows icon) and clicking the “Run” button, or by pressing the [Windows] + [R] key combination.

Enter the “taskmgr” command and click “OK” to immediately open the Task Manager.

Open the Task Manager with the “taskmgr” command in the “run” dialog window.

How to launch Windows Task Manager from the taskbar’s context menu

You don’t necessarily need a keyboard in order to open the Task Manager. Starting the program from the context menu allows you to manage it without a single keystroke. To do this, first right-clickon the taskbar in order to call up the context menu. In this, select the “Task Manager” option with the left mouse button. The same function is displayed to users of Windows 7 as “Start Task Manager”.

You can also open Task Manager in the taskbar’s context menu.

Starting the Task Manager via the Windows icon’s context menu

From Windows 8, you can also start the process manager from the context menu that you can call up via the Windows icon. Just like the previous option, no keyboard is necessary for this. In order to open the Windows button’s context menu, just right-clickon the Windows icon – this can usually be found in the left-hand corner of the taskbar. The context menu will launch. Another way to open this menu is by using the keyboard shortcut [Windows] + [X]. Either way, the next – and final – step is to select the “Task Manager” option.

The Windows button’s context menu can be opened with a right-click or a Task Manager shortcut.

Using the search function to call up the Task Manager

Finally, Windows also provides the option of searching your whole computer for content of all types. You can use this option to find and open the Task Manager quickly. In Windows 10, the search field is usually located directly on the taskbar (otherwise in the Start menu).

Enter the search term “Task Manager”. The displayed search results will update automatically as you enter it. As soon as the appropriate result appears, select it with a left-click in the “Best Match” field or click on “Open” in the right field as shown below.

Search for the term “Task Manager” in order to open the process manager.

Can’t find the search function in your taskbar? Right-click on the bar, then open the “Search” menu and select the “Display search field” option with the left mouse button. The search field will appear on your taskbar.

If you use Windows 7 or 8: Open the Start menu with a left-click on the Windows button. In Windows 7, the search bar becomes immediately visible. Enter the search term as described above then hit the Enter key on your keyboard. In Windows 8, you won’t see an entry field, but you don’t need one. Just open the start menu and type in your search term. The operating system will automatically perform the search and show you the results.

If the Task Manager is already open, you can also pin it to the taskbar for easy access if you like. To do this, right-click on the Task Manager symbol on the taskbar and select the option “Pin to the taskbar” with a left-click. This will allow you to open the Task Manager in just one click at any time.
