• What is nvvsvc.exe process running in the Task Manager?

  Hello - What is this nvvsvc.exe (v v w no) running in the Task Manager? Eatting a lot of memory, don't let me put an end to the process, won't tell me where it is located, (I opened to display all files and folders), I can't locate with search, I can't find it in: / c in System 32 files or 64. I ran WSE thinking it could be malware or a virus and came back clean. Am running Windows7 HP 64-bit sp1, IE8, WSE for protection. All updates are up to date with windows and WSE today. UT

  You have an nVidia graphics card? If so, the Sub page explains nvvsvc.exe:

  I hope this helps.

• 29 Firefox fails to come out properly and continues to run in the Task Manager.

  It is a continuation of a thread found here:
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997448 by Compumind.

  I pointed out that I had the same experience, especially at the opening of the email links in Thunderbird. I reported also that forced me to go back to 28 FF.

  Moses responded by top wire and suggested:
  (1) download a fresh installer of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) the release of Firefox.

  (3) rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  I followed these instructions carefully but no joy. When installing 29 FF, not only refused to leave (using "exit") and continue to run in the Task Manager up until I killed him after the opening of links in Thunderbird, but I find that he refused to come out after a simple navigation and links.

  Moses had asked that I didn't answer in the original thread, so I re-post here.

  In my view, that there is a serious bug. With Firefox 28... no problem don't except a minor that I have indicated here:
  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002089

  Yet once I am obliged to 28 FF, although I miss the nice interface and security patches, I need to have a browser that works properly. My wife never even saw the Manager of the tasks before so that's the problem.

  In addition, "guesses" made with this post, the only other thing usual outside that I do, is to have a security policy about cookies (accept by default... I make exceptions for cookies I want to keep and have several that are "allow only for the session.") I also FF the value delete history of navigation at the exit, but that takes a fraction of a second.

  I look forward to when this matter can be addressed successfully and I am able to use 29 FF (and out properly... I can't wait for my wife to follow all of these instructions and it often close manually in the Manager of tasks... or what I want to do this.)

  Good luck for all Mozilla projects. Having installed 29 FF twice and then back return 28 twice, I'll wait and see how this plays out. Please don't send me the standard "start in safe mode", 'restart with disabled modules', 'reset Firefox' stuff (the last time that completely destroyed my browser). I don't think that is what is happening.

  Moses added that there is a problem with the e-mail notifications passing by, so take your time, friends.

  I think now (temporarily) this bug or problem has its roots in "history leaving Compensation."

  I made the leap after a few game with 29 PortableFirefox and reading the blog post linked here:

  [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../997918#answer-566755]

  .. .and installed 29 FF on my previous FF28 on my box. I unchecked the "clear history on exit" which was only to delete my history, not cookies or anything else, cor - el. My setting should not accept cookies unless I make an exception. Until the FF developers find a way to do this is functional, I'll just have to manually delete the history.

  Furthermore, John99, you want to maybe privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown set to 'False', not 'true' If you want to stop the automatic deletion of the history at the exit (attempt).

  I've been running for about 6 hours. without experiencing the bug 'suspended '. So, I can live with that for now until this bug is fixed. It should be fixed... browsers are supposed to be able to do things like that.

  On the other hand, I could find things go wrong... but so far I'm not having a problem.

  I for several hours and will let you know later if things change.

  Kind regards

• is it possible to set the level of priority permanently running in the Task Manager?

  Hello!

  1. My question is anyway to change the level of priority at all times by a program running in the Task Manager?
  • For example; I am using a software called xpadder that is for players for the games which are rather old and do not support the for windows xbox controller so I want to change the priority level of this software in the Task Manager, as I don't have to change the priority level from the top on normal or high normal etc whenever I run...

  So a little help would be really grateful :)

  Windows does not support this setting, sorry.

• Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but only opens a window.

  I can't get Firefox to open a window. I tried firefox-p (Profile Manager) and firefox-safe (safe mode), but nothing works to open a window. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that solves nothing. I haven't changed anything recently, so perhaps there is a update (?) Here's what happens:

  I try to start Firefox, and the Task Manager indicates that Firefox is running. It employs about 32 k of memory, but the window never opens.

  I click Firefox again. Manager tasks indicates 2 Firefox process now. The second is to use about 4 k of memory. Running Firefox repeatedly adds additional tasks to Firefox, each using about 4 k of memory.

  After about a minute, the additional tasks of Firefox (the 4 k ones) start closing 1 by 1. I am now down to only 2 Firefox process, using 32 k and 4 k of memory, respectively. As far as I know, these processes will last forever, until I have shut them down manually. If I run Firefox again without closing the current process, it creates another 4 k process, which finally closes itself. If I close all the processes manually, I can start over from scratch. Meanwhile, Firefox never opens a window, or give a clue showing that it is running, with the exception of the processes listed in the Manager tasks.

  I deleted the one in my USER folder without change. There are a couple more in various C:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles files, so I deleted those too, without change.

  It's a custom location. Normally, the profiles are under AppData\Roaming, I think you already know. There is a shortcut:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
  

  This folder must contain a profiles.ini file (.ini file extension may be hidden), which shows the names and paths to your profile folder (s). If you check in a text editor such as Notepad, this file contains sound data?

  If this started right after an update, it could be a problem with security software, put an end to the commissioning (rules of program control) or program files has been corrupted.

  You can check your firewall and other security software for program restrictions.

  To meet possible corrupt files, I suggest:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 43.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  (C) to rename the folder of the program as follows:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (D) to run the installation program that you downloaded in step (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  A cleanly reinstalled Firefox starts up normally?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

  I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

  IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

  The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

  There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
  What antivirus applications you scan with?

  If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

  Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

  Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

  Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

  You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

• I seem to have in dual processes that run in the Task Manager.

  In the Task Manager, I see the same process running several times.  Example: under user/Admin""(My name as) ","Local Service","Network Service"and"System"." "  These really duplicates and they slow down my system?

  Are they duplicates?  Perhaps.

  They slow down your computer?  Depends on what you're trying to do.  Anything that takes your resources take the pool available for other applications.  However, if you do not run low on resources (your CPU has a lot of horses for what is needed and you're not missing memory for most) - then it probably isn't as much of a downturn as just all of the resources actually get used.  You won't slow until that run out you of resources and try to open something else.

  If you worry about it?  N ° except if you have been compromised (you have a virus, worm, Trojan horse, malware any) and this is what is running - the system is as it should.  You are not running a single-user system - even if you are the only physical user.  Service accounts, etc. are there for the functionality of the machine as a whole.

  Search for malware:

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  and...

  Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:

• Firefox won't work, even if current running in the Task Manager.

  We have about 5 users having Firefox refuses to open. In the task manager the firefox.exe is running. When we run as administrator, it works sometimes, but runs faster. We tried the ESR 38.2 Firefox and that worked for a day or two. I deleted their profiles and installed Firefox fresh with no Add-ons, even a day or two later, it opens. We turned off hardware acceleration, no change. The only thing I can think that I have not done is to clean the registry.

  5 users = all on the same PC?
  Or what with workstations and profiles on a server?

• What is 'Quickactionbox' appliction? He is constantly provide in the list of applications that are running in the Task Manager on several occasions.

  

  Here you can see the problem. What is this thing?

  Hi Benjamin,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of the problem some application named QuickActionBox is running and showing in the Task Manager.

  If you think that this application is not known to you and you think that's not important, then you can uninstall it in the list of programs. But before you uninstall this application, I recommend to create a system restore point and try to uninstall the application so that if this application is important, then you can come back to this point again.

  To create restore point, you can see the article mentioned below.

  A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer's system files. You can use a restore point to restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time. Restore points are created automatically by the restore of the system each week and when System Restore detects the beginning of a change to your computer, for example when you install a program or a driver.

  Create a restore point

  You can uninstall a program from your computer if you no longer use, or if you want to free up space on your hard drive. You can use the programs and features to uninstall programs or to change the configuration of the program by adding or removing certain options.

  Uninstall or change a program

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

• 5 Lightroom does not start but shows that run in the Task Manager?

  Hello

  I use Lightroom 5.7 (64-bit) on a Win7 machine and it worked perfectly until a few days ago. Now for reasons unknown to me, it will now not start correctly. According to the Task Manager, run, but nothing appears on the screen. It shows as a running process with about 15 020 k. If I try and interrupt the process he won't stop until I've tried 4 or 5 times.

  I tried to rename the file to preview force it to build a new file and optimize the database and he ran once, said he was checking the catalog and then came back to the same behavior.

  If I can get it started I can return to a backup of database.

  Help appreciated.

  Peter

  Thanks for the comments.

  It turns out that Lightroom is not guilty.  The hard drive containing the catalog was not, and although tests seem to show like OK it was made only reading / writing at a fraction of the correct speed. If Lightroom was very time consuming to read it's own catalog.  It tooks 48 hours to exemplary concert 1 of data off the drive.

  Make sure that all check boxes are cleared in 'Filter Options '.
