    Excessive Number of Processes


    Hi. I understand that there have been several threads that deal with this subject but none that I've seen help. My laptop (specifically on my account) has become very slow, mainly in booting up. I have attempted to do all the normal things that people suggest to speed it up, but nothing seems to work. However, that's not necessarily what this thread is about. (Although, if anyone has any suggestions on this, then please let me know.) My question is, why are there so many processes running (or sometimes 'suspended') in the process list that (I think) shouldn't be there, such as 'Calculator', 'Feeds', 'Film & TV', Adobe updater and Macrium Reflect (I have these two installed, but I can't seem to prevent them from loading), Skype (this has never been used), 'Photos', 'PowerDVD RC Service' (this, I understand, is a Levono product, but again I can't stop it from loading), (loads of runtime brokers), and 'Your Phone'. None of these has been run up by me. There's a lot here (and more) that I don't understand why they are. None of them seem to be taking a significant amount of CPU or Disk use, but I can find no way to stop any of them loading. Most (if not all) of these processes are also on other computers of mine - including a virtual machine that, again, has significantly slowed in my account, in the past few months. Has anyone got any ideas. Again, the speed of the start up is not the issue of this thread, although pointers to various other ways to improve this would be appreciated. Matt

    :)

    Excessive Duplicate Processes

    That doesnt quite explain why double or more then what should be there even by number of tabs. when only 4 tabs open and no other browser open i should only be running at most maybe 5 processes. I have 10 right now and its not isolated to just browsers.
    There are excess duplicates of almost every program running that I as the user would launch. Currently running avast to see if it can find anything that could be causing it just trying to cover bases ahead of time

    Excessive Number of Processes

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?
