If you run a lot of applications, the computer will slow down a lot. The speed of the PC directly depends on the running processes, which need to be closed from time to time.
A user of a personal computer can easily view a list of all running programs in the "Task Manager". To do this, just right-click on the tray arrow (located in the lower right corner) and click on the "Task Manager" item. You can do otherwise and press the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Del, where you need to select the dispatcher again. After loading, a new window will open, which displays not only the running and running tasks, but also all processes.
Processes
Processes should be understood as certain procedures that are currently running. All processes in the system appear either as a result of user actions or because of the system. For example, system processes are launched at boot time of the operating system, and user processes are those launched (installed) by the person himself. In order to remove an unnecessary process, it is enough to select it with the left mouse button, click on the "End process" button and confirm the action.
Reasons for the appearance of a large number of processes
If the number of processes has grown several times in a small amount of time and you have not installed anything new, then it is advisable to check your own system for the presence of various kinds of malicious software. Very often, due to the lack of programs for protection, viruses and trojans easily penetrate the system and, naturally, enter the processes.
It will be possible to get rid of this misfortune only after installing the antivirus and completing the scan. Antivirus will help you get rid of not only those malicious programs that have entered your computer, but also prevent the emergence of new ones.
In addition, the problem may not be so much in the penetration of malware into your computer as in the "pollution" of the system. Unfortunately, sometimes the number of processes can increase to such an extent that the computer will start loading within a few minutes, and programs and games will run many times slower. Naturally, such a performance of a personal computer can not please anyone and you will have to do something about it. For example, if you have a lot of different software installed on your computer that works immediately after the operating system starts, then, naturally, they will be in processes and take up a certain amount of system resources.
If this is true, then it is best to completely format the hard drive or manually remove all unnecessary programs, thereby freeing up some space on the personal computer. After that, it will work much faster, and you will feel more comfortable when working with the device.
