    How do I find out, which process occupies my computer?


    Hi guys,

    I am running a program, which after pressing a key freezes for a short time. E.g. I am pressing a key and the display freezes for maybe one second. If I press a key ten times, the freeze is more or less ten times as long as it is when I only pressed the key once. I would like to find out why this is happening so that I can solve this.

    I already talked to the support and they think it would not be caused by their program (?). They recommended me to deactivate those services, which I do not need.
    I already deactivated all services in msconfig, which are not coming from Microsoft.
    However, the problem still exists: When I press a few keys, the program freezes.

    What I now want to know is: How can I determine, which process occupies the computer so that I can check, if I can deactivate it?

    :)

    • Press Windows Key + E, Click
      View tab. Then click Options ->Change folder and search options.

    • Moving on, in theFolder Options windows so opened, scroll down and found the
      Launch folder windows in a separate process option under
      Advanced settings. you would find this option enabled, hencedisable it.
