Windows Task Manager | Complete Tutorial for Beginners

Full guide for how to use the Windows Task Manager
- Opened with CTRL ALT Delete
- Can Also right click on task bar and open
- Close a frozen program - Select from list + end task
- Programs that are freezing up your computer will normally
have high CPU or memory usage.

- Disk: Current Read/Write usage on your hard drive, not actual
disk space. Every hard drive has a max read/write speed
- GPU: Usage of your graphics card. Games will use a lot of this
- CPU: Central processsing unit, the usage is the power of your
computer to perform tasks (opening and operating programs). Usually
not maxed unlesss heavy program like Game or Video Editor Opened
- Memory: Your RAM. This is active memory that stores open programs
temporarily so you can easily switch between windows without having to
reopen them
- Maxed out memory is a sign you have too much stuff open
(Can be fixed by closing or getting a RAM Memory upgrade)


Network: Your computer's ability to send data over the network. This might
mean transferring to another computer or downloading over the Internet. Almost
never a real problem here.

Performance Tab: See usage over time. Bars that hit the ceiling (100% usage)
for long periods of time are bad and may indicate a problem.

App History: How long has a program been opened on your computer since log in
(Anything weird on list that you don't recognize?)

Startup: the more you disable, the faster your computer will start. Be careful
not to disable important stuff like AntiVirus or Audio Drivers

Users: See if any other users are logged in. Might be consuming resources so
ask them to log off.

Details: Extra information about every open app or service. Right click
on top and select columns to choose what you want to see. Usually unnecessary
tab.

Services: See open background tools. These usually start with computer and
consume very little power. If you want to disable one from starting, choose
open services at bottom. Find it in services and change from automatic to
manual. Be careful because many services are necessary for your apps
or windows itself to work properly.

Got it.

Also get a PC that has at least 12 GB of ram if you want to do some gaming.

[leenordgomez]

Thank you for the vid and may I ask two questions, If any one of the GPU, CPU, RAM, and Disks that certain pc parts need an upgrade? And, does SSD really help?
This is my first time to totally own a computer.

At the 9 minute mark the memory usage is for that user instance only. The reason why it doesn't look right is that it isn't factoring in the ~2GB minimum needed for the OS. For (2000+1587)/x = 46% x is a lot closer at 7800

*This helped a lot !*

What should i do? My disk reach 100% not even going down to 95% all i opened is just chrome

[darwinstubbie]

In my task manager appears 11 times and in memory it says 87%. Other services appear multiple times. What can I delete?

Would the app history also show correct CPU time of an app that is being used when the computer crashed (BSoD)?

what OS is this? Windows 10? I have windows 8 and don't have the GPC tab next to the network in the process tab. Is that why? I would like to see the GPU usage.

When I opened task manager r I saw windows explorer was open when I clearly closed it and it wasn’t open and I clicked the little arrow next to it and there was a thing in it that said “file in use” what does this mean, this happened when I was doing a virus scan
