Windows 10: Task manager shows I currently have 250+ processes running. Is this normal?

Model: Huawei Matebook D16Version: W11 Home Single Language 23H2CPU: 12th Gen Intel i5-12450HGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620I decided to check how many processes were running. I opened task manger to see 250+ Currently 288 processes running. After seeing people asking if 80 is considered too much I am really concerned about the state of my PC. Is this a normal thing?

Task manager not showing any process!

No, update doesn't show anything.

 

Task manager not showing any process!

In Task Manager, if you click View - Refresh Now, does the list of processes update?

If so, check View - Update Speed, is it set to normal?

 

Duplicate processes running in task manager

Hi Marzei,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about processes running in the background.

This is pretty normal as processes takes time to end on task manager after you exit on the program. As for the multiple processes on each application, it is actually normal. Programs run 1 process per tab, extensions and GPU processes. It's like the application
running multiple small processes compared to 1 big process.

I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Wilfred P.
