    Processes Remain in Suspended State - Only Close from Task Manager


    On Windows 10 whenever I close an application, it doesn't actually close but remains in a suspended state. I have to go into Task Manager to close the processes. For example, every evening after work I close everything on my PC. Then in the morning before I log in to my VPN, I have to open task manager and close all my Chrome and VPN processes before opening them up again. Even though there is nothing "open" on my PC when I log in, I can have 20 Chrome processes show up in Task Manager. This is problematic for services that won't allow multiple instances to run, like my VPN. How can I fix this problem? I want my apps to actually close when I close them!


    I have seen a few other threads on this but have not come across an answer yet.

    :)

    Task manager showing suspended processes for cortana

    I see this suspend for other applications as well. How do I get it to run the suspended process? I've got Process Explorer installed, right-click on the process, select resume but nothing seems to happen, e.g. the process remains suspended. Nor am I able to kill the process. I have Windows 1803 installed. It has been over an hour since I noticed the process suspended and it remains in this state.

    Windows automatically suspends process as part of overall memory management. Regardless of the total mem available. It's normal. They resume when the process is called to do something. That's the real short answer. the system file swapfil.sys hold the swapped out extra mem for those processes and leaves only the "core" of the process in memory. It is a very long explanation. It's normal and ok. Nothing to be concerned with.

    That's perfectly normal. Windows will suspend processes to the swapfile.sys and only keep the essential code for the process in memory, when idle for a specific time. It all gets pulled back to the Working Memory for the process when needed. Just Windows memory management. You may have 32-64GB of memory, and it will still do this. I have lots of suspended, also. Note one of them is Search UI>Cortana.
