My CPU usage is at 100%, but the task manager says that nothing is more than using 01%

Last night, I installed the updates for Windows 7 during the stop, as I normally do. He said there are four updates, and one went by pretty quickly. It seemed to get stuck on the second (even though he probably didn't want to - the blue ORB turned and the dots are moving, so I guess it's to large or slow) for a few minutes, three update took slightly less time and at the time he obtained for the release of four, I was paying attention just because I was so tired.

In any case, I went to start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) and on black splash screen "starting windows" with the flag/banner, he said that he needed install/configure 360 some odd updates. I had seen this before, although I do not remember how recently, so I thought nothing of it. I still don't know if it meant something significant.

Now the problem is that my CPU usage is constantly at 100%, yet when I finally managed to open the Task Manager, NONE of the listed processes use anything more than 1%, and those who fluctuate. I can easily boot into safe mode, and from there, I have disabled the start of the process, such as taskbar support and itunes things google related, but I still boot normally to 100%.

Any ideas? It would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to College next year and I really don't want to worry about finding how to get a new machine.

Thank you!

Hi Renae92,

  1. You have security software installed on the computer?
  2. High CPU usage occurs after the boot process?

Method 1

As the problem does not persist in safe mode, then 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.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 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 section to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest you run the troubleshooter of performance and check if it helps.

  • The Task Manager does not appear anything other than running programs. Help?

    It started a few weeks ago, and I don't think much. But when I open the Task Manager, there is nothing outside the list of active programs and options to put an end to these tasks, go to another, or create a new. Two menus at the top are not present, nor are the name of the program itself. Because the name bar is not there, the ability to minimize full screen, or close is also absent.

    I'm having a problem with an old game that also worked fine a few weeks where, after having worked for about a minute (literally in a minute), the entire computer freezes up. I have 16 GB of RAM, and because of the difficulties with the Manager, I am unable to see how it is actually used in this case. Although I guess it's all... The game is 2000, and really should not do that to my computer, I just got back in the month of August (2014).

    And yet, everything was working fine a few weeks ago.  If there is anything that I'm missing could easily solve the problems I am experiencing with the Task Manager, I would appreciate a response. I'm not a complete fool when it comes to technology, and I don't know I just pressed something at some point and it is easy to reverse. But I would appreciate help with this one.

  • Use of the Task Manager physical memory is not not to use processes

    I have seen this topic discussed it before, but I did not understand what is happening here.

    -J' have one windows server 2008 with 8 GB or ram configured, with the limit set to unlimited and booking made 8 GB.

    -When you look in the Task Manager, I see the physical memory to 88% and the bar bed to 7.10 GB.

    -Adding all process memory usage, it is only about 2 GB.

    -In another thread, that I read that it was because he had a deadline, and hot air balloon began.

    -J' I monitor the server via SNMP and have alerted all the time that this server joined more than 90% ram usage.

    -The Guest server is correct use of the physical memory Task Manager?

    -If it is not, and is caused by the ESX host, how can I fix it to properly monitor the comment server.

    The question here is how windows works,

    You reserve memory and don't have no limits, so there is no balloon showing VMs to appear that they have high memory use when they are not actually in some cases.

    Processes that Task Manager displays is not all that is running or being eaten, I know when working with SQL, you have FEAR that can use a ton on memory, but there is no process to show.

    Best thing to do is to run RAMMAP a sys internals tool that will show you exactly what is using the memory in windows.

  • 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?

  • How can I enable the Task Manager after recovering from an attack of Win32.GEMA

    Hello

    I am running Windows XP SP3.

    I have recently had an attack of the Win32.GEMA Trojan horse. Details of it are here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FRansirac.G

    I recovered my system using:

    AVG Rescue Disk

    Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    BitDefender Rescue Disk

    Scan of MalwareBytes

    McAffee analysis

    Hitman Pro Scan

    Spybot scan

    Eusing Registry Cleaner

    CCleaner

    Overkill maybe? But it worked... Up to now

    Apparently, the Trojan horse disables the Task Manager and that is I'm having bad to restore.

    I followed the advice in this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913623/ - but when I followed this part

    To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:

    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
    3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
    6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
    7. On the file menu, click exit.
    8. Restart the computer.

    N ° 5 says that disable TaskMgr should appear in the right pane, but there is no entry to disable TaskMgr. All it is an icon of the small 'ab' (the default) beside it, then, REG_SZ.

    Then I tried to follow this part of the article from Microsoft

    To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for all users, follow these steps:

    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
    3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
    5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
    6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
    7. On the file menu, click exit.
    8. Restart the computer.

    This time off TaskMgr was in the right pane - this time with a little "ohho? icon followed REG_DWORD

    I tried to create a new entry for the current user by copying one for all users, but not joy.

    Any suggestions?

    CTRL + Alt + Del does not receive any reaction whatsoever, no Ctrl + Shift + Esc or click with the right button on the barv task and selecting the Task Manager

    Thank you in anticipation

    These KB articles are for a different problem when you receive these messages when you run the Task Manager...

    Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

    The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

    The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

    The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

    Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.
