• Explorer.exe uses half of my CPU.

  My system is 32-bit Vista SP2, after I start and open the Task Manager it shows explorer.exe using half my CPU capacity. If I end the process, everything is empty.

• Explorer.exe uses too much CPU

  My explorer.exe uses too much CPU (almost 100%). Then an error message appears-

• Explorer.exe using 50% CPU

  My Vista has suddenly become almost unusable.  Task Manager shows explorer.exe uses 50% of the CPU.  I rebooted a couple of times.  If I use the Task Manager to kill him I can run programs using the application tab.  The computer works well without exploring. But then I don't have a task bar so I hope it's temporary.  I ran the windows malicioussoftwqare removeal tool - who found nothing.  The program is c:\windows\explorer.exe.

  Does anyone know the solution?

  Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

  Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

  You can use Process Explorer from Sysinternals to check the stack of the thread using the most CPU in the explorer.exe process, when you experience the behavior.  When Explorer uses the CPU as you have indicated, double-click the process in Process Explorer and go to the tab of the Threads.  Sort the list of threads by Cycles Delta (descending) and note the thread at the top. Double-click it and discovered its stack. Look for third-party modules (extensions of shell or modules, AV software, etc.) in the stack.  Disable (Autoruns or ShellExView, maybe) / uninstall these components, reboot and see if the behavior is affected.

• Explorer.exe using 20% + cpu

  After long hours of game explorer.exe will take up to almost 1 CPU to itself. When I look in the process monitor it sems to read the same file over and over again. The file name is atiumd.cap.

  This file seems to be related to the ATI Catalyst driver. It may be interesting to try different versions of the driver.

• How is my radeon 8870 m uses system ram memory or it's own memory?

  Hello

  Recently, I bought a Dell inspiron laptop 37371. After many pilots of adjustment disorder for the radeon 8870 m a graphics card on windows 7, I decided to install windows 8.1 to solve the problem. I have instaled drivers and it seemed that everything worked fine (I downloaded the free version of FurMark and msi kombustor and checked in Afterburner). However, I installed TechPowerUp GPU - Z and it tells me that my memory size is 0 and type GDDR5 memory. How can I see my graphic card uses memory wich? Thanks in advance.

  It has 2G of its own RAM, but keep in mind the AMD GPU is not a true discreet GPU - he works in tandem with the Intel GPU on the CPU, it has no memory of his own - which uses system memory.

  It is also true that Vista/7/8 fine RAM video system by design.

• Black screen - cannot run Explorer.exe with Task Manager

  Hi guys

  I've been Googling the answer to that for the last day and nothing seemed to work.

  Basically, my portable was working fine until this morning, when I restarted. After the home screen, just a rear screen with the mouse. CTRL ALT DEL and everything still works normally. I can run programs with the Task Manager, but can not run explorer.exe. He returned in the process for about 10 seconds then disappears. I think that it is the cause of the black screen. I tried downloading an own explorer.exe and replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\. My computer it did not as he said I need the permission of the administrator, but of course, I am the Admin so I don't know what that's all.
  I tried to restart in Mode safe and that works very well, still, I can't replace the explorer.exe in the C:\Windows\ because I do not have the administrative authorization. I tried to change it in the Security tab of the properties, or impossible.
  I also tried to update the driver software graphics cards, checked the Shell in the registry value and made sure it's explorer.exe, used the difficulty of black of Pevx screen, used HitmanPro and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan and remove malware. I even did a scf/scannow, checked driver C a mistake (which took 3 hours!), let Windows Startup Repair to fix things, tried a system restore but failed. He says that the anti-virus (Sophos) prevented the restoration of the system, so I've temporarily disabled its access scanning on but still unable to restore to a previous (11/01). Program changes that recent such as listed in the system restore is Google + Auto BackUp who came when set Picasa to date there 3 days and a more recent version of Facebook video call I've ever used. I am now running a scan with Sophos, not too promising.
  So yes, I tried everything. I think that now, there are only three options:

  1 somehow replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\ with this new cool explorer.exe, which I downloaded, with the permission of the administrator
  2. try another restore of the system, but I'm sure that nothing will happen, already tried three times.
  3 reinstall Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. It will be a real pain.

  So please help me! I have courses of due on Monday and this portable do not let me what that be done. Thank you!!!

  Please ignore the other my long answer. The problem has now been resolved.

  After trying all kind of scans, drinking and sobbing, I came across TDSS Killer from Kaspersky, who managed to catch a 1 latest unique malicious software (that I was too stupid and really looked hopeless and remember the name of), it cures the problem after reboot. Now, the laptop works well like you wouldn't believe. I'm still confused but way too happy now to care. Thanks a lot for your help nevertheless!

• questions of Explorer.exe

  Hi... after having used my laptop (toshiba satellite L650) for awhile all of a sudden I can't use the desktop icons to open programs. I then try to close the laptop and find that I have to force close as a program is still in use (explorer.exe (used for the output sound)) I then need to hold down the power button to shut down

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  2 is the issue limited only when accessing the shortcut icons on the desktop?

  3. are you an error message or error code?

  This problem occurs because of the corruption of system files or settings.

  Try the following and see if it helps.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to Run System File Checker (SFC) tool to scan and check.

  Steps to perform a scan SFC:

  un) Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

  (b) type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]

  Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:

  Note: If the question is limited with little files and applications, see the steps in the following Microsoft article.

  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of data loss from that particular area.

• artifacts when you drag windows/windows Explorer by using too much cpu capacity

  Dragging a window (not just browser windows) leaves a trail of white on the screen.  Closing any window is slow; Obviously the window collapses down before disappearing.  Manager Windows taskbar shows explorer.exe using amany as capacity 50% of CPU when this happens.  This always happens.  It started when I installed IE8.

  What is happening on three different machines.  They're all running XP, one is a laptop computer to dual boot with Windows 7 as the other BONES; the problem is not there when it is started on Windows7, but are there in XP.  All machines run at 3 Mhz or faster, bicoeur have all 4 GB of ram or more; the smaller hard drive is 640 GB.  We have integrated graphics card Intel; We have a discreet ATI video card; We have a discreet NVidia video card.  They are all updated on the drivers.  All the MS applicable updates are installed.

  The problem disappears if I uninstall IE8; reappears when I reinstall.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have the latest drivers installed on all three machines.  I still have the problem.

  I went to visit a friend, installed IE8 on XP Pro machine and had the same problem.

  I visited another friend, verified that they already have IE8 on their two XP machines. No machine to had the problem!

  It took me two more days to spot the difference.  Machines to display the icons of countertop is not a problem, but if you uncheck the display icons on the desktop and have desktop background image (especially an image high resolution) in the stretch mode the problem surfaces.

  I found a solution to the problem.  I resized the image I used to match the resolution of the screen (three monitors, three sizes).  It seems to work even by hiding my icons and let the computer decide how best to run.

  I would like to hear if anyone can check out what I found.  I have explained the apparent conflict.

  Thank you

• Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

  I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

  Help?

  Windows XP Professional - Svc Pack 3 processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU speed: 2.73 GHz memory: 512 MB

  Why you turn off automatic updates?

  There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

  You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer.
  For more information about Process Explorer, see here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

  With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

  Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

  Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
