  1. My programs are duplicated in Task Manager


    I have two .exes that I created. When I run them they create a duplicate of themself and run normally.-I can see the duplicates in Task Manager-I am using Windows 11-There is nothing in the code that would cause this-This happens if I run them with Task Scheduler or just click the .exes-Nothing like this happens when I run them in the IDE-It never creates more than two copies of the program-For the more complex .exe the duplication happens after it loads apparently-For the simpler .exe the duplication happens seemingly instantly-This happened for my testers as wellI'm considering creating some

  2. Strange duplicate processes in task manager

    In task manager, I see many windows services and apps with duplicate processes listed.

    I know some duplicates are normal, but this is up twice the amount of duplicates(varied) for a large number of processes inconsistently. I can't tell if it's some new windows feature, or a real virus.

    I previously had a virus that was removed by a random malicious software removal tool update. I'm afraid there are still some remnants in there.

    Should I be concerned about these duplicates?

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

    My programs are duplicated in Task Manager

    Duplicate a running program?

    To add on to this, I created a .DMP file of the program I want to clone with Task Manager. Am I able to do anything with this that would help duplicate the program?
