Windows 10: CPU, Ram, and Disk being taken up by a ghost account?

I noticed recently that my PC was running a lot slower than normal. I've updated my drivers, defragmented the PC, and have not found a working solution. I was snooping around task manger to see if I could identify the problem, when I saw this:


My CPU, disk, and RAM appear to be taken up by some sort of ghost user? My current account in blue is the only account on the PC, but the resources being used by it aren't adding up. What can I do about this?

Relation between the Three CPU/RAM/Disk Space

Query Are:



1. What is the significance/working between CPU usage/RAM/Disk (Memory management) in Win-10 (64 bit)

why Disk Usage (C,D,E) shows full and practically its almost free in GB Eg: 300-400 GB

2. Please explain the significance of disk usage with CPU.

3. Please explain RAM usage or behaviour of RAM if CPU usage is Full.

Like if CPU memory is full then it tries to load on RAM or disk ...



How win-10 manage it..

 

Relation between the Three CPU/RAM/Disk Space

Hi and thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Please allow me to assist with your questions.

I'm assuming you are referring to the metrics being display under Performance Tab of Task Manager.

1. These usages and graphs are pertaining to current utilization level of those resources.

CPU: Based on % utilization, it means how much processing power of CPU is being consumed by one or more active processes to run instructions.

RAM: The same applies here (utlization level) and it means the more processes are running on the system, more memory is consumed. When there is insufficient hardware memory, Windows will temporarily page data to Paging pool (Paging file is stored on disk) from
memory.

Disk: This section refers to the Active Time of the disk, not free disk space. So when this is high or full, it means the disk is actively reading from and/or writing to.

In terms of relationship, when a process is launch or working, it may Read/Write to the disk, temporary store working data on the RAM and instructions runs on CPU (for example to process data).

I would suggest reading these post for further details/information:

2. Basically CPU would be used to run instructions (like process data) and such data is primarily stored on your hard disks. Depending on how the program is written, it might directly process the data in CPU from Disk hence you will see utilization levels of
both CPU and Disk to be high. If the program will read the data from Disk to Memory before processing in CPU, then you will see CPU/RAM/Disk to have higher utilization levels.

3. RAM usage is dependent on the process(es) and what kind of instructions are being executed. For example, a game requires 1 GB of memory to run, then it would take up at least 1 GB of memory, as more memory will be required to act as temporary storage. Since
CPU is used to run instructions so a game will require the CPU to process these data in RAM/Disk. Together, you can expect all of usage to be increased. If CPU is full, then you can be sure that RAM usage and Disk utilization are probably higher. However,
the ratio of increase won't always be the same.

I would also suggest reading this article to know more about the relationship between memory and CPU:

Calendar/People app issue regarding 'ghost Microsoft account' & 'UniversalOutlook'

Hi. Acelyn Alc

No I did not and I am not going to perform the suggested steps. All I want is to inform people that the latest software versions did not help me.

Microsoft has to solve this. Not me. And they will. They did on my 950.

Edit: update to version 17.8104.42387.0. Still the ghost account.
