    How do I use task manager to find out what Chrome processes are doing what?


    Chrome always has a ton of listings in Task Manager which is normal, I want to know what the most CPU intensive ones are doing so I know if it's safe to close them.


    Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

    :)

    Hidden chrome processes... what are they for/doing?

    How do I use task manager to find out what Chrome processes are doing what? [​IMG]

    When I opened process explorer and chromes internal task manager the number of chrome processes in each was very different and I would like to know why
    chromes internal task manager listed 12 and I'm fine with the 12 it lists but process explorer listed 30 chrome processes
    does anyone know why? or how to find out?

    Have you right clicked the process and chose to open the folder its contained within to make sure it is really chrome?


    Try running process explorer and see if the processes look suspicious. Make sure to run as admin and enable the virus total feature.

    I doubt its anything malicious. Each tab has its own process.
