Is it possible to see what is running in the system idle process?

Too often, my laptop computer Windows 7 system slows down to a crawl. Lambasts the drive. And Windows 7 will be smart enough to know that things are bad, but not smart enough to know exactly which slows down things. It is simply asking if I want to use an interface that uses fewer resources.

If I look at the screen in a program called Process Explorer, it is said that most of the cpu is used by a process called the system idle process. But you cannot stop this process. I need more information. What is past in the idle system process that slows down my system to a crawl, alarming even Windows 7 and stolen my hard drive - it's what I want to know.

Anything that slows down your computer, it is not System Idle
Process. "System idle process" is not at all no problem. Means "idle".
"not in use." It's just the name of the system is done when
It doesn't do anything. It's there just to make the total to add up to

  • Is it possible to see what information shows on the LCD remote?

    Hello

    I was wondering if there is a way to see what information shows remote on the LCD screen.

    We have servers on an external data store and wanted to check a few errors on a server.

    Is it possible to do?

    Nothing that shows the actual error LCD text but the LCD is just a relay of messages stored in the recorded material that can be seen in OMSA.

  • What is the "system idle process" and why it seems to freeze my Windows XP and show the 99% CPU usage?

    This problem sometimes occurs when my computer starts. Today, it happened and actually picked up my internet connection, which also won the update of Flash Player and Internet Explorer open. Also, I couldn't get the Start Menu to open. What is happening to the CPU is too busy doing something else? Is there a way to refresh the process or the CPU?

    Hi Hope_H,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    4. you receive an error message?

    Checking service or program uses high processor usage by using Task Manager.

    To view the CPU usage, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, click Task Manager, and then click the performance tab.

    Overview of the Task Manager

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/taskman_whats_there_w.mspx?mfr=true

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • What is the system idle process, and do I need? Its killing me!

    Can I remove it. Can I repair this hungry beast. It gets running in background and everything grinds down to a slow crawl. I check the task mgr and at the bottom of the list is the beast. Using 98% on the list, but showing the use of 27% on the dialog box. XP running on the laptop Dell D610. I've seen other years download program to show which processes are working but I'm not sure what to do with this info. I'm not as well that I would that be.

    This leads me to drink!

    Thank you

    System Idle is 100% CPU capacity less any percentage is used. It is not the hungry beast, you think it is!

  • My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also backed u

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • How can I reduce what is running in the background because the computer runs very slowly.

    Original title: S L O W speed

    How can I reduce what is running in the background?  How can I know about the enigmatic ID that I need the program running?

    Click Start, run and type msconfig.

    On the Startup tab, uncheck what you think that you don't need running at startup.

    Then run a virus scan and AntiSpyware - you can find ones that are free on the net and and make sure you have a firewall too.

    Press alt-ctrl-del to bring up the Task Manager and close everything that is running that you think are also unnecessary.

    Overall be careful; confirm and backup before doing the things mentioned.

    where can I see what DPI is in the PDF?

    A PDF file does not have a DPI (resolution). Instead, it contains a mixture of text, vectors and images, each of which can have a different resolution. If you need to enforce a minimum or maximum, you can use Preflight to verify the criteria you want to apply.

  • Is it possible to change a drive letter of the system?

    Hello

    I have XP Pro SP3.

    I am interested if it is possible to change a drive letter of the system. My windows was originally installed on c:, but then I found that it is on d:. Maybe it was because I inserted a disc with another Windows in my pc. So, if the computer sees it has letter c: with windows he used d:. I put t know. But 98.5 percent of register use c:. But when I run my computer, then "documents and settings" on d: to run all my accounts on d:. I would like to go back to c: and (change the drive letter c: to something different and then change the d: to c :). I would change a few c: registry values. But how can I do when Windows has probably read files on the wrong drive? If I would disconnect the disk if the Windows will crash. So I want to just change the letters and give it back to its original position.

    This problem that I solved with the backup of the machine. A problem occurs when I restore it back. But this facility has been unlucky.

  • Firefox Sync on different offices-list of sync'd data-is it possible to see what we have sync in our accounts?

    Good day to you, members of the community!
    Have a very small but very important (I think, not only to me) question.
    It will be possible to see in https://accounts.firefox.com/settings?uid=etc what we sync'in (I want to say list of tabs, password section, session, etc.)?
    For example, we have submenu in 'History' - 'bookmarks of other devices.
    There I can see what bookmarks I have on the other device.

     But no way to see passwords, preferences, history, active session. Will the devs introduce such features in next versions of Sync?
    

    In addition, some possibilities to separate one single device from others? (I have 4 PCs, 2 of them I need to synchronize only the Favorites, tabs & passwords, the other 2 - only the bookmarks & tabs). Now, if I want to work with such a way, I need to create 2 different profiles for each pair of these PC synchronization.

    Sorry, the data saved on the server is encrypted and cannot be read by anyone as it is a server or even outside of a Firefox browser. The encryption is done on the upload to the server for synchronization and encryption is done when the data comes back from the server synchronization that happens in an installation of Firefox. The 'key' stays inside Firefox, it is not sent to the sync server - no one has access to this 'key', but you, and it's inside Firefox stored in the Firefox account credentials in the password field.

    As much as this is possible in the future - slim to no chance. To make this possible sync will have to be completely rewritten to change the encryption protocol. Something simply not developers to Sync ever wanted as a feature.

    Each installation of Firefox can be put in place for what is synchronized in Options > Sync. Select all or all - tabs, Favorites, passwords, history, modules, preferences.

    Separate what sync gets had however you want or use 2 different accounts of synchronization for each pair or the PC. You can even setup the same version of Firefox on a PC with separate profiles and have separate data on each profile with a separate for each profile synchronization account. But the combination you put 2 and 2 data synchronization, but 2 is becoming more in sync would have can be made with a single account. Deselect the option just data types, you want synchronized on 2 devices.

    In which your question 2nd separate or different add-ons by device; Deselect the option modules if you do not want add-ons that you want to synchronize or when they are synchronized to do not what they are deleted when you uninstall an add-on on another device (or deselect Add ons on the device that you want to remove an add-on so that 'action' are sent to the server synchronization, and then to other devices).
