Windows 10: Win 10 Task Manager - Startup list - numbers next to items

Hello,

I was just working with my Task Manager startup items and noticed there are several items that have numbers in parenthesis next to them. What do those numbers mean? Are those numbers telling me I need to do something, as in are they registering any sort of "alert" message?

Thank you,
*really*Huh*sarc

Task Manager

After installing Windows 10 I attempted to review the startup items. MSCONFIG links to the task manager. There is no startup column in the task manager. How do I get access to the startup items previously seen in MSCONFIG?

 

In my startup list Skype has (2) after it. It means there are two components to that item, The main Skype program and Internet Low-Mic Utility Tool that loads with it. HTH *Smile

 

Oh, that's interesting! I never in a billion times ten years guessed it meant that!

This is what I see in my TM startup list:







Sincerely,

 

If you click on the arrowhead or double click on the program name it will expand to show the components.

 

I have (15) next to Google Chrome in my apps list on the task manager. I pulled down the arrow and there is a list of 15 Google Chrome items but what does that really mean to me? I only have 4 tabs open so have no clue what the (15) is representing. They all have good sized memory numbers.
