The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

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.

Search for malware: (Yes, please do)

Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Delete everything is found.

Reset.

  • program that runs in the background freezes mouse

    There is a program in the background, and I can't do anything because it freezes my mouse all the time.  When I go to the control panel and attempt to "stop a program from running at startup", a window appears telling me to turn on Windows Defender. This stupid popup won't let me stop programs from running at startup.  Someone knows how to fix this?  Thank you!

    Hello


    Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
     
    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
     
    Note: identify the program that is causing the problem by doing as from the above proposed link.

    Hope this information helps.
  • Microsoft programs that run in the background on my computer

    Microsoft are programs running in the background on my computer and it makes my computer slow opening and navigation in the programs. I went into msconfig and in respect of the services, I check the box "hide microsoft programs" then apply. My computer operated by more quickly and efficiently. Howerer, a few hours later the "hide" checkbox unchecks and my computer starts to be slow and do the same thing all over again. How to hide permanently microsoft programs so that this computer slow is not the case?          I already have the diagnosis of 'memory', and the memory of the computer is fine.

    Hello Ballvk, click hide all Microsoft Services is not neutralize them and they still work at startup. What you need to do is to disable services that are not of use to you.

    Click Start and type services.msc in the search box to open the Services associated with your computer. See what services to run and that you do not. To see a list of default services visit http://www.speedyvista.com/services.php.
    Check also for other programs to start in The Configuration utility (msconfig) system.

    Using of Windows Vista, computer desk Dell Inspiron.  I hear my computer running as a program is on, but the task manager says nothing running.  Is it possible to check something running in the background in addition to using the Task Manager?  Thank you.

    Hello

    I suggest that you use the resource monitor to monitor the use of the CPU, disk, network, and memory in real time.

    See use of CPU utilization and other performance information

  • Unknown to the programs that run in the background, slowing down the computer

    System resources are always be taxed.  How to get to the screen that lists all the programs that start automatically at system boot?  How to identify unnecessary programs in startup list?  Once identified, how to eliminate these programs?

    Hello DcR3, levels,

    How to get to the screen that lists all the programs that start automatically at system boot? How to identify unnecessary programs in startup list? Once identified, how to eliminate these programs?

     I would say do not delete program files if you are unsure what it is.  You can do a search online of a file if you don't know exactly what it is.

    To view startup programs:

    Right-click on the icon in the start menu. Select "Explorer" from the menu that appears
    Find the 'Programs' folder in the pane on the left side of the dialog window. Click the plus sign "+" to expand the tree of folders
    Click the "Startup" folder to view the programs that start up when your computer is turned on

    Go to the start menu. In the menu list, click on 'run '.

    Type "msconfig" without the quotes in the text bar. Click on 'OK '.

    Click on the "Startup" tab in the dialog window of the System Configuration that is displayed.

    Scroll down to see all of the programs and program files that start up when your computer is turned on.

  • How to stop programs that run automatically at startup?

    Hi I just wanted to know how to stop programs from running automatically at startup, I already ran msconfig and disabled programs that I don't want to run at startup and it always automatically start also on msconfig, it indicates the applications that I don't want to run at startup is disabled and it always runs at startup. The programs that I don't want to run at startup are tom tom home and bbc iplayer desktop, but he always runs at startup.

    One other thing is when I install new programs, that they automatically run at startup without my permission.

    Palcouk did preferred proposals. Another way to identify which loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

    A useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • How can I stop programs@from running in the background?

    programs - I never userun in the background as institutional calendar. I would like to launch a clean background and a sleek office. Is ok to ermanently remove apps / programs I not have access? or better yet I can remove the icon without deleting the program I talk about these programs preinstalled. latter case your room for answerng this - what is the diffrence between apps widgets n programs on the droid.

    I'm sorry it explained not completely. I will try. Default apps cannot be uninstalled or removed. You can go into management applications in the settings and force closes, but it can start up if the operating system decides that she needs. There is an application that will allow you to hide the icons, but I don't remember the name. I don't know of a setting in the calendar application to prevent it from running. You might want to make sure that it is not set to automatically synchronize. This could be the reason why he is running. So the only way I know to keep them from running in the background is using a task killer, so the answer is always the same. I hope that I have cleared it up a little bit.
