    I was just working on my laptop when it starting sounding like a jet engine. "Oh here we go again," I thought, "Better kill those runaway Chromium processes again."

    So I opened Task Manager and it says I'm low on memory and I should close some processes. That's great. It's exactly what I came here to do, except the processes I needed to close were no longer linked to a foreground app and this time the background processes were hidden!!!!


    I looked all over for a button or something that would let me see the rest of task manager and found nothing. Luckily, I managed to drop it below the threshold to get the full Task Manager back.


    Why does MS always have to take something that works and break it? I never had this problem on the old Task Manger, and this is a really stupid "feature" as it defeats the whole purpose of having a Task Manager. As a paying customer owning multiple licenses to Windows, is there a way I can put in a feature request to fix this or what?

    :)

    Task Manager - Memory Compression Process?

    Hello,

    In my main system I have a process going that I don't understand. I have 2 computers sitting side by side and when I located this anomaly in my main system, I checked my 2nd system and it showed a different set of information.
    I will post the screen snaps here below of each.

    This first one is from my main computer I use continuously.
    This image shows what seems to be nothing going on with the Memory Compression and I wonder why it is even in the task listings.

    This second one is my Security Surveillance system running 24/7
    It definitely shows a different set of memory numbers on this image of the Memory Compression. Much more then the above image.

    Do I need this listing in my system. In the main system task it looks like it is doing nothing, yet in my security system computer, it has much more information given. What does this task do for the computer?

    Thanks for your time

  3. The memory usage of the Task Manager and the "process explorer" is different.

    Task Manager - Memory Compression Process?

    I'm Sorry, I forgot I was using Windows 10 Manager Version 2.07 for the information I posted.
    I also decided to run the memory compression check again and strangely I am getting some numbers from it on my user computer system. Here are the results that showed up.

    So, I guess the system is using the compression as it should since now there are some numbers being listed.
