Windows 10: Why does task manager consume so many resources?

it uses about 50% cpu for 1 second after opening and it goes back to normal

:)

 

Put processes that consume a lot of resource on the top of the list in Task Mananger

A main use of Task Manager is to find which program is consuming resources. Now we need to sort by CPU/sort by Disk/sort By network to find the problem. Its better if list all the huge resource consuming programs at the top of the list what ever the resource
is so we don't need to sort in most cases.

 

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.

 

Programs can't open windows but consume resources in Task Manager.

Hello! Recently I've been running into issues where certain programs can consume resources in the background, but can't actually open windows or function as they should. If I click on one of these programs' icons, the little blue wheel appears on the cursor
for a moment, then disappears. Nothing else happens visually, but a look at Task Manager reveals the process running in the background. I've only discovered this with Civilization V, Krita, and Mypaint. This is a new issue for me, haven't encountered it in
the past. I am running the latest version of Windows 10. I have tried reinstalling the broken apps, but the problem persists with them. Any help would be appreciated!
