    Why Aren't Core Windows Operations Multi-Threaded


    The Year is 2019. Mainstream multi-core/multi-threaded cpu's have been out for over 20 years.


    Why has Microsoft not optimized many of the basic tasks in Windows to use more than one thread. Here is an example:


    Disk Cleanup Utility.


    Doing system update / update log / previous windows version cleanup. Why Aren't Core Windows Operations Multi-Threaded 97546e03-7d0b-495d-bb4b-97729d75215d?upload=true.png


    During Windows update, system file check, chkdsk, only takes advantage of a single cpu thread.


    Why has this never been optimized?

    :)

    Is there a list of multi-threaded applications?


    There has been a lot of talk about new CPUs with 8 (or more) cores capable of running 16 (or more) simultaneous instruction streams (threads). But this has a real benefit only of an application is multi-threaded, meaning it can split it's processing job up into multiple, simultaneous instruction streams that the CPU can process in parallel.

    In the world of 3D product design and 3D printing this can make a huge difference - far greater than any difference due to CPU cycle time. But so far there are very few applications that can actually do multi-threading. It would be nice to see a list of apps that are multi-threaded, since these will run much faster than single threaded ones.

    Why Aren't Core Windows Operations Multi-Threaded

    Is there a list of multi-threaded applications?


    Nice post, but I think the OP means CPU core threads, and that's different than program threads.
    What is the relation between the number of threads and the number of CPU cores? - Quora

    I don't have a server motherboard with 4 XEON proccessors.

    For the OP:
    Some programs have a multicore option in their preferences, but usually that's for their paid versions.
    A good example is MediaMonkey:

    Most programs only need a single CPU thread.
    A good example is when overclocking my 6700K to 5.18986GHz: Official OC Leaderboard
    I needed to use only a single core, and turn off hyperthreading to boot into Windows 10 and not BSOD(keeps the CPU cooler).
    With this single thread, I was able to use Windows, have EDGE running, play music in Groove, and validate using CPU-Z, at the same time with no problems.
