How to monitor the process and Windows activities

Hello world

I'm a player who plays full-screen. Some process or app steals focus once every few hours, unpredictable. This me tabs effectively out of my game on the desktop. It is only an annoyance, but yet, it's a real nuisance to do without good reason.

Anything that flies focus leaves no trace of what it was, as far as I can tell. I'm just at the level of the office. (Exactly how I see what Win7 thinks has focus, if nothing seems?)

I guess it's a thread that checks the updates, or some other thing, what has been written amateur and does well with games. Some games are also poorly written in terms of, what happens if something else could mess with the office or ask for focus. My guess is that it is a collision of stuff poorly written, but who knows.

To make a long story short, is there anything I can do to see just how * had * focus (focus on the past), even if it's over now?

I highly doubt that it is one of the major applications that I am running. I usually only Word and Excel 2013, Chrome and Windows Explorer to the top. I really doubt that this is one of them, but maybe. Who knows.

It would be very difficult to test for that is happening, because it is very unpredictable. Also real inconvenient to keep my other applications closed for hours. This is why I ask if there is another way to catch the culprit himself, not all turn in everything.

Thanks if you can help!

HI Yann,

Thanks to you, I was able to use the event viewer on Win7 / Windows Logs / request to see that I was being thrown out of my game on the desktop when the so-called SelfServicePlugin.exe "on the road". I checked in the Task Manager / process and saw that it is a Citrix Receiver background utility.

Citrix Receiver (v. 4.1.0.56461, (c) 2013) is the remote software we use to open a session in our local network of work at home, however, the plugin is something all the time, not just at the point where it is actually using Citrix. I guess that it speeds up the loading time of Citrix, or whatever. (It seems that every piece of software must have a connection online if used or not, these days.) And no, I wasn't playing games when remoting to work, laughing. As I said, the receiver is there all the time; I was spilled on the desk in the evenings, etc.

If I unload the plugin, I stop unexpectedly, the abandonment of game (and Citrix always starts very well).

So, apparently, it is just this sloppily written plugin. I guess it is not surprising that something related to work don't care effect on the games, even after hours, laughing.

Now that I know what it is - and it's not malware - it's so much easier to deal with.

Thanks for hanging in there and answering the question directly to me! It helped a ton.

    How to monitor the TX and RX on PERFORMANCE for virtual network adapter BASP monitor?

    I have a virtual network adapter that is created with Broadcom.

    This virtual interface named "BASP eCard" visible on the performance monitor in the category 'Rhythm Pipe' but not in the category "Network Interface".

  • How to delete the process and free up memory?

    Hi - I have 110 processes running, using the memory of 78%.

    It started quite recently and I had the computer a long time.  I have a JPG file with a list of processes. I don't know how to tell which I can remove.  And, since I don't know how they all got here in the first place, I don't know what to do to avoid this problem in the future.

    I use WebRoot, which always has me protected in the past, so I'm not sure it's a virus.

    I would appreciate your help.

    With all due respect, you should have mentioned the 'insufficient memory' message in your initial post. He told respondents much more than your question rather generally on the liberation of memory.

    'Insufficient memory' usually means that you have a request for misconduct, one causing "a memory leak" by requiring increasing amounts of memory until none is left. You could easily find by clicking on the working set column heading so that the application to memory greater demand floats to the top. Observing this display for a few hours, you will soon know where the leak occurs.

  • I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen on Windows 7

    I just installed a new Windows 7 but I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen.  I tried all the things normal, resolution, size of icons, dpi etc but nothing gives me what I want.  The text in clear 'wonderful' thing is just terrible.  When I go through the 4 steps I see no text boxes which make the text nothing better.  All options are terrible, so the result on screen is too terrible.  When I do any huge I do not get a full screen of things - view the Start button disappears or I did not closing small cross at the top - of the suggestions to inprove the situation?  I must mention that my screen/monitor is 2006 - I need to buy a new one?  How much is this Windows 7 is going to cost me, or maybe I should go back to XP!

    I sincerely thank all you smart "technicians" for all the answers you always gave myself and all others who ask questions.  I'm not too smart with all this new technology as I fell into it very late.  I am now in my 60s and only started using a pc when I was over 50 years so...  In any case, I asked a question about the size of screen resolution and text and received much good advice from all that you guys.  I had recently changed in XP to Windows 7.  However, the bit of advice that I was given in 'Cyberking' here at the Portugal had set the resolution of the screen, the advanced settings, 75 to 60 Hertz Monitor tab.  Very basic, and the first question asked the technician (Lady) was "what size is your screen?  Naturally as a smaller screen that any 'techno' would be considered dead aid, solving the problem was simple and straightforward without me having to stretch my knowledge and my skills by downloading all programes weird (to me) or do the funny stuff in the bios or something else.  I send this comment to you for you to realize that the simple solution is not always bad and maybe we should go for the easiest first and then work up to the more difficult ones.

    Just for you all to see - now my screen resolution is perfect, the text on the screen is clear and legible without difficulty, even though the size of text and icon is small.  Clarity is all!

    Thank you all once again!   Best regards, Blondie blue.

  • How to monitor the CPU, memory and i/o on the system

    Hello..

    Some body help me?...

    1. how to manage the monitoring of the performance of the system and the database during execution of ODI?
    2. how to monitor the CPU, memory and i/o on the system?

    TQ
    balleur

    In an attempt to partially answer your questions:

    1. how to manage the monitoring of the performance of the system and the database during execution of ODI?

    Monitor the performance of the application from a commercial point of view. As transactions per minute, or response time or time elapsed for the key events of the company. Monitor the activity of the material such that the CPU usage is not necessarily linked to the performance of your application. Performance should be measured from top to bottom - business first, then the lower levels until you get finally to computer equipment. Only if you get a problem to the next level - response time is too large, for example - you can go through the lower levels to identify the cause and fix it.

    2. how to monitor the CPU, memory and i/o on the system?

    I personally use "sar" on UNIX-BASED or Linux, or rather "CFDCs" which is the system activity data collector. SADC will measure and collect data on activities on CPU, memory, disks, etc. and save them to a file in binary format. You can then extract these measures later for analysis using SAR (sar f sadc_file_name). The benefits of SADC are that it is light (these operating systems measure such things anyway, just CFDC records far), it records everything at once (with the exception of the network), it records the time stamp too for each measure, and you can analyze it later when you want to.

    There are commercial products out there too who do similar work, with additional features, such as the integration of Oracle and the relationship between several systems. TeamQuest is an example, but there are others also. (I do not work for TeamQuest, but I used their product in the past).

  • How can I delete the history, except the tabs and windows open?

    Hi, I don't find a way to remove all my firefox history, except the tabs and windows open.
    I couldn't find any solution on the Web. I have tried almost all the settings in the privacy settings, nothing works. any ideas how to do that, or maybe suggestions for Add ons?

    As long as you clear the history manually and not through 'Clear history of Firefox closing' then you must keep open tabs and windows.

    Firefox creates a sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder?

    You can check the prefs of . browser.sessionstore * including browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash on the topic: config page and reset the browser.sessionstore prefs that are correct (in bold) user via the context menu in the default value to make sure that the Session Restore is enabled and functional.

  • How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    I recently had to format my hard drive and reinstall iTunes 12.3.2.35 on my Win7 PC. As part of the re - install iTunes, I clicked on the button scan for music.  This has created duplicates several of my songs.  I deleted then the duplicate songs from iTunes, but when I went to play a few songs a pop-up said "the song would not be because the original could not be found.  You want to locate? "When I tried to locate the song it is not found, but when I pulled the songs out of the trash they could be found.

    How can I keep the original and remove any duplicate songs in iTunes on PC Win7 which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.
