TASK MANAGER



TASK MANAGER


INTRODUCTION:

  • Task Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager, system monitor, and startup manager included with Microsoft Windows systems. It provides information about computer performance and running software, including name of running processes, CPU and GPU load, commit charge, I/O details, logged-in users, and Windows services.


Processor (computing)

In computing and computer science, a processor or processing unit is an electrical component (digital circuit) that performs operations on an external data source, usually memory or some other data stream. It typically takes the form of a microprocessor, which can be implemented on a single metal–oxide–semiconductor integrated circuit chip. In the past, processors were constructed using multiple individual vacuum tubes, multiple individual transistors, or multiple integrated circuits. Today, processors use built-in transistors

   


Service (systems architecture)                                       

  • Service of process is the procedure by which a party to a lawsuit gives an appropriate notice of initial legal action to another party (such as a defendant), court, or administrative body in an effort to exercise jurisdiction over that person so as to force that person to respond to the proceeding before the court, body, or other tribunal.


First 10 Processes:
The list of processes displayed in Task Manager can vary depending on the state of your system and the applications you have running. However, typically, the first 10 processes you might see in Task Manager include essential system processes and some user-initiated processes. These may include:
  • System Idle Process: Represents the percentage of CPU resources that are currently not being used.
  • System: A process that manages system-level functions and resources.
  • Registry: Part of the Windows Registry system.
  • smss.exe (Session Manager Subsystem): Responsible for managing user sessions on the computer.
  • csrss.exe (Client Server Runtime Process): Manages console windows and graphical interface features.
  • wininit.exe: Initializes Windows services during the system startup.
  • services.exe: Manages system services and their startup.
  • lsass.exe (Local Security Authority Subsystem Service): Responsible for security and authentication.
  • winlogon.exe: Manages the login and logout processes.
  • explorer.exe: Manages the graphical user interface, including the desktop and taskbar.
  • Remember that the order and specific processes listed can vary, and some processes may be unique to certain versions of Windows or specific configurations. It's important to exercise caution when terminating processes, as prematurely ending critical system processes can lead to instability or crashes.
