`number of tabs that allow you to monitor the applications, processes and
` running
`on your computer. However, you'll likely find yourself using the Processes tab more than
`anything else, because it lets you quickly see how system resources are utilized, which can be

`
`Understanding the Processes tab
`
`When you're in advanced mode, you'll see a number of tabs, including "Performance", "App
`history", "Startup", "Users", "Details", "Services", and the one we're interested in, the
`frame]-->
`"Processes" tab. Typically, the Processes tab is the first place you want to go to detemine
`which process is draining your computer's resources. This tab lists all the running processes
`in a single view grouped by "Apps", "Background processes" and "Windows Processes". On

`which helps you to better understand how they're organized and how they use system
`resources.
`
`You can always expand a group to see all the processes by clicking the chevron-right icon or
`by right-clicking the item and selecting Expand. Usually, you'll see groups for Windows
`processes when opening multiple tabs on your web browser or multiple File Explorer
`windows, for example.
`
`Identifying processes with high-resource usage
`
`If an application is not responding, a website is taking a long time to load, or your system fan
`starts getting loud, you can quickly use Task Manager to troubleshoot the problem. In the
`Processes tab, the first thing you want to look at is the percentage of the total resource use for
`the processor, memory, hard drive and network. You can click the column names to sort the
`list and bring to the top the ones using the most resources. If you see any of these resources
`running high (90 percent or higher), you might have found the problem.

`
`Task Manager also uses colors to highlight processes that use the most resources. You'll
`notice that as a process starts to consume more resources, the color begins to change from a
`light- to a dark-shade of orange, making it easier to tell which one is causing the problem.
`
`Typically, when you're not actively using applications and your computer isn't working on
`anything specific, such as maintenance, your total CPU usage should be less than 30
`percent. Applications that are running, even if you're not using them, and processes use part
`of your computer's memory, and that usage will increase as you use or launch more
`applications. Memory usually won't be an issue unless you run out of it, in which case your
`computer will start using virtual memory, and that can cause your PC to slow down. Generally
`speaking, depending on your system configuration, your total memory usage should be below
`60 percent. If you're not copying files or rendering videos, disk usage should be below 5
`percent.
`
`Network connectivity is almost never the reason your system is slow, but there could be a
`problem in the network causing web content to take a long time to load. If you're having
`problems downloading files, and you see "Network" stuck at 0 percent, you may have an idea
`of what's going on.
`
`Stopping processes with high-resource usage
`
`After you identify the problem, right-click the process, and select End task to terminate it.
`Alternatively, you can simply select the item and click the End task button in the bottom-right
`corner.

`
`While stopping a process using the Task Manager will most likely stabilize your computer,
`ending a process can completely close an application or crash your computer, and you could
`lose any unsaved data. It's always recommended to save your data before killing a process, if
`possible.
`
`If you're not sure about how the process you're trying to terminate a ects your PC, you can
`right-click it, and select the Search online option. This action opens your web browser and
`displays a search result with more information about the process. Windows 10 is also smart
`enough to let you know if you're about to end an essential system process that can crash your
`computer.

`
`Wrapping things up
`
`Although there are many other ways to troubleshoot system performance, Task Manager gives
`you an easy way to find out at a glance why your computer is slow or if an app is not
`responding, and then quickly act on it. You can end an application that isn't responding using
`Task Manager in compact mode, but the advanced view gives you more information about
`processes that are acting up in Windows 10.
