• How to fix wlcomm.exe constantly using 25% cpu?

  Hello

  We have a Dell i3 laptop that feels lethargic.  I noticed in the task manager that wlcomm.exe is constantly using 25% cpu.

  The laptop is running Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail 2011.

  Why wlcomm.exe use so much resource cpu and how can I stop it do it please?

  Best regards

  David

  It is probably downloading and indexing of your email to provide instant search functionality.  If you let it run for a day, it should calm down.  Normal conditions of use "lazy" CPU by wlcomm is about 2% or less.

• Impossible to create a point of restoration with the error message "task Mgr is damaged or has been tampered with. 0 x 80041321 ".

  Original title: Create Restore Point will create new not a point of restoration after upgrade to Vista Ultimate in Basic

  I get the error message. "Mgr. task is damaged or has been tampered with. 0 x 80041321."when I try to create a new restore point manually. But it appears automatically when I do a backup of files and when I planned for it, for in the system settings. How can I fix this problem

  Hello
   
   
  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
   
   
  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.
   
   
  
  Please follow the methods and mark the question below:
   
   
  Method 1:
   
   
  I suggest you try the steps mentioned below.

  Steps to re-create the Task Scheduler:

   
  a. Click Start; in the start search type regedit.exe and press ENTER.

  If you receive a consent prompt, click Yes.

  b. navigate to the following location.

  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Schedule keys and remove its subkeys.

  c. save the changes and then close the registry editor.

  Now check if the Task Scheduler works.
   
  WARNING: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry
  
   
   
  Method 2:
   
   
  Step 1:
   
   
  I first suggest you to check if the Volume Shadow Copy service is running.

  a. Click Start, type Services in start search. When the page is open, look for Volume Shadow Copy service.

  b. right click on the Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) and check whether it is started.

  c. If it is stopped, select start or restart.

  Check if you can try to create restore points after starting the service

   
  For more information, see the following link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/manage-services-in-Windows-Vista-from-Windows-Vista-inside-out

  Step 2:

   
  If you have installed a third-party security software, then try to temporarily disable the security software and check what is happening.
   
   
  Disable the antivirus software:
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
   
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 3:
   
   
   
  You can also try to remove the job from the location:

  C:\Windows\System32\Tasks

   
   
  How to find which task is damaged or altered.

  a. Click Start; type cmd in the start search. List programs, right-click on cmd and run as administrator.
  b. now run the following command

  schtasks/query | findstr /i

  Search

  ERROR: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.
  ERROR: Task cannot be loaded: the task name

  Find the name of the task, try deleting the task name, and then try to recreate.

  See the link below that solves your problem.

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistaapps/thread/dcb0fb2b-d1e3-4562-823f-cee16bfa4945

  
  a. Click Start, type Task Scheduler in the start search box and then click on Task Scheduler in the list programs.

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

  b. the component shares of the Scheduler dialog box, click on create a task and check.

• I am running xp family on an old PC 7yr. Task mgr shows Im using 100% CPU resources veryenen, resulting in slow or frozen PC. Seems there are 60 at bottom. KS

  How can I reduce the number of processes running in the background? 100% CPU often allows. Thank you

  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.

  More information are among the volunteers S. Stanley, hope this helps.

• Explorer.exe using 50% CPU

  My Vista has suddenly become almost unusable.  Task Manager shows explorer.exe uses 50% of the CPU.  I rebooted a couple of times.  If I use the Task Manager to kill him I can run programs using the application tab.  The computer works well without exploring. But then I don't have a task bar so I hope it's temporary.  I ran the windows malicioussoftwqare removeal tool - who found nothing.  The program is c:\windows\explorer.exe.

  Does anyone know the solution?

  Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

  Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

  You can use Process Explorer from Sysinternals to check the stack of the thread using the most CPU in the explorer.exe process, when you experience the behavior.  When Explorer uses the CPU as you have indicated, double-click the process in Process Explorer and go to the tab of the Threads.  Sort the list of threads by Cycles Delta (descending) and note the thread at the top. Double-click it and discovered its stack. Look for third-party modules (extensions of shell or modules, AV software, etc.) in the stack.  Disable (Autoruns or ShellExView, maybe) / uninstall these components, reboot and see if the behavior is affected.

• Task Mgr I see atieclxx.exe did not want to make this post on an old post

  There is no file with this task mgr, just that atieclxx.exe

  I have nothing with this fact, it is a certain type of malware?

  Message of the EPF is useful. In addition to the post, the file is installed so that AMD drivers are installed. Therefore, it is more likely that the file came with the drivers for your graphics card. Therefore, it is safe to use the file. If you think there may be malware infection, please scan your PC with any reliable antivirus software.

• Adobe uses my CPU more RAM, this normal?

  So I bad start by saying that I have a system of 3.4 ghz quad core i7 with 16 GB of ram and 2 GB Nvidia EVGA Geforce GTX GPU FTW 750ti.

  whenever I visit a project that I started to notice that my system is using my cpu on my RAM

  my CPU will be ranging from 90 to 99% when rendered as my ram is just above 50%

  When I nominated 13 GB of RAM to adobe and 3 GB of ram for everything else.

  This is how its going to be? or should my adobe use my ram on my cpu first?

  

  Rendering/export is essentially a process of CPU... RAM is simply a quick/departure place of temporary storage for data that are partly 'cooked' and waiting for his next step of treatment... in the CPU. If she needed the RAM, use it... but as it is running up to and greater than 90% of the actual processing capacity, it is not need more.

  GPU not serves as much export... with few exceptions. Then... export is primarily about your CPU, the - front side bus (fsb) get the displaced drive data to CPU to RAM & back... and your drive/output supported capabilities.

  If your CPU is nearly at MAX, it's also fast that goes from this machine.

  I have used all sorts of anti-virus programs and can ensure that it is NOT a virus. It is not my regestry, all updates are current. I keep a clean machine.

  I have xp of the process and have nothing wrong.

  Sometimes my icons will disappear out of my office, but always come right away. Other times, I get a message that says stop running this script. a script on this page slows down IE run slowly.

  The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

  To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

  That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

  Search for malware:

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

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

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

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  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.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

• Unique use of VM CPU on the system dual quad core CPU

  My environment: two machines, a Dell 2950 with dual quad core CPU, running ESX 4.0 Advanced.

  Machine 1 to several virtual machines on it.

  Machine 2 has a virtual machine that hosts a .NET/IIS web application built by an external supplier. The web application is having performance issues (users requests take a long time to complete in some cases). I suspect, without having yet done an in-depth, analysis is that the web application is not well resolved/optimized/designed.

  The declared owner of hardware requirements is exactly how Machine 2 is - dual quad core CPU. However - There's the rub: I did not understand if a single virtual machine running on this computer can actually use all the resources, particularly CPU resources, on the machine. And my application provider takes that position - since we have not met the minimum hardware requirements for the application, which can be the cause of the poor performance, which means that the seller has no responsibility for the performance issue.

  I tried to understand/consider the Enterprise more than vSphere edition, because it seems possible that only this version of vSphere would allow me to assign all the hearts of all the processors from the server to the computer virtual one. However, this seems like overkill, and also, after some reading on the SMP of Enterprise Plus features, it seems, as using SMP can help in some cases and poorly in others.

  Right now I'm looking to remove vmware Machine 2 and just install the application on the machine, in order to eliminate the possibility that vmware restricts the application to all physical resources (CPU). But I thought I'd ask a glimpse of this group first.

  Any input appreciated.

  Thank you

  Brad Harding

  Each physical core (or "core" hyperthreading) is considered to be one vCPU. You will therefore 8 vCPUs in your system (assuming hyperthreading is not enabled). However, you can approve vCPU which means that you can run several virtual machines than available vCPUs. This is because you do not usually have the VMs that need all the power of the processor, and they can be used more efficiently with VMware planning the vCPUs.

• Firefox crashes (even in safe mode) constantly and use 50% CPU while doing

  I use Firefox 36.0.1 and Windows XP (32-bit version).

  Lately, Firefox made this weird thing where it stops randomly load anything, as if the connection has been broken (it isn't, any other works very well). In this case, Firefox uses 50% CPU, when it is usually revolves around, well, 0%. Restart the browser, or waiting for a few minutes "fixed" the problem temporarily. Same thing in safe mode, too.

  I have the feeling that this * might * be related to Flash, since it seems to happen more often when I am watching videos, or stream on the shaking. I tried to disable the plugin-container and update the Adobe Flash Player plugin, with little success. Malwarebytes could not find anything either, and it does not feel like a virus anyway.

  Whatever it is, I'm out of options at this point. I had a lot of problems with Firefox for a while now, especially when it comes to videos/animations (I can't play the videos of Vine.co , for example), and it starts to make it difficult for me. I really don't want to switch to Chrome, I don't trust of Google and their browser doesn't have a lot of key functions I like in Firefox (such as the sidebar bookmarks < 3), so I really hope I can get help here.

  Any suggestions?

  Chrome is a pain, I tried to go back and difficulty of Firefox (so far), and again, I think I found the problem. I should mention that I tried these 5 suggestions before, btw, and none of them got rid of the problem. Yes, even in safe mode, with a profile is empty, no plugins, no firewall and without tab, it happens again, somehow. And Yes, Chrome will work fine with Firefox running in the background, as I mentioned in my previous post.

  What he did for me was turn off Prefetching and IPv6 times in all: config, following the instructions on this this page .

  I'm not sure that one did the trick (I kinda afraid to mess with that again, but I could test if you want to, it might be useful to others), but it looks like everything is going well for the moment.

• SVCHOST. EXE using 100% CPU

  I have a Pentium (R) 4 CUP 2.4 GHz running Windows XP Home Service Pack 3 5.1.

  In the last month, I updated my virus software - ZoneAlarm - and downloaded Google Earth.   Meanwhile, there was also many windows updates automatic including IE8.   Since the download of the update to ZoneAlarm I have the BSOD a few times (the BSOD said ' corrupted driver MMMPOOL or similar) but after reboot it was fine.

  We had a few fluctuations in power a couple of days but the computer is connected to the battery of emergency relief so has been closed properly.   When the power was restored properly the computer started and the BSOD came once again.  You had to reboot a few times in safe mode, and then selecting the option "last settings that worked.  Since then, every restart was fine (no BSOD).

  I ran a full scan, update ZoneAlarm for updates.   It is a Trojan horse that he deleted on reboot.  However, everything was very slow and firefox who previously worked very well kept freezing.  Outlook Express has been extremely slow.   IE8 was still slower than firefox.   I've updated to the latest version of Firefox, but no improvement, or worse!

  The Task Manager showed the CPU usage to 100%.

  Then I ran a CHKDSK and defrag because it had not been for some time.

  After that, the CPU usage is 100% yet once (I dunno what I used to take me to check this again.)  A SVCHOST. EXE program was the culprit to 99.   I finished the program and it came with a warning message indicating the process server Launcher DCOM had been canceled and the system has been restarted.   The PID of this program was 868.

  After a reboot, it seemed better.  I used Outlook Express OK, but as soon as I launched a browser, the CPU usage went straight to 100%.   Even if I close the browser, he remained at 100% and has remained there since.

  Online access is practically impossible on this computer, I use another computer to get help!

  Advice would be welcome.    Please note that I'm not terribly computer advice should be simple and basic English.  TIA.

  Remove the Trojan from your computer, it is stiil in your computer.
  Your computer will work normally.
  Your alarm zone anti virus program or fire wall only? or both?
  If you analyze the pc and the answer no viruses not detected.
  I swuggest you use another antivirus program by stopping zoenalarm temperory or delete, in mind that 2 anti programs antivirus at the same time on the pc will be a conflict, so you should disabel or one of them or remove.
   
  1. right click on the my computer icon go to System Restore then put a tik on judgment system for all stations restore, apply, then ok.
  2. complete the system scan and remove Trojan horse if you can find or put a carentien if you don't know what to do.
  3. restart the computer and see if it works properly and also run full system scan new .If it is clean your pc is now 100% clean of the Trojan horse.
  4 after 1 or 2 days also scan your computer and then repeat step no.1 again by going to the system restore and yesterday to cancel the tik put you on the restoration of the system shutdown for all stations, apply, then ok.

  Good luck
