Startup

The Startup tab in the Windows 10 task manager is a new tab that you can access by pressing the Windows key and clicking on the Start button. This tab contains information about startup items that we never had before in older versions of Windows.

At the top and to the right, you’ll see the Last BIOS time, which will tell you exactly how long your system was in the BIOS phase before Windows loaded. This basically is the amount of time it took your system to initialize all the hardware. Mine is 15 seconds, which is quite long, but OK since I have a custom PC with several hard drives, network cards, USB ports, etc. On a basic system, that value should hopefully be less than 10 seconds. You can read more about Last BIOS time here.

The Startup items on your Windows 10 system are listed below. By default, it’s sorted alphabetically. I personally like to sort it by the Startup impact column, since it’s more useful. Windows comes up with a score ranging from Low to High based on several different factors.

Adobe Creative Cloud is a powerful program because it includes 25 different processes on startup. You can click the arrow to see all the processes that are included with that program.

To disable a startup item, simply right-click on it and choose Disable.

To disable or enable the startup item, you must first determine what it is. There are three types of startup items: processes, executables, and files. Processes are the programs that run when your computer starts up. Executables are the files that you open in your favorite text editor or word processor. Files are the folders in which you store your files.

If you ever need to perform a clean boot of Windows, the startup tab is one of the places you’ll need to visit. A clean boot is a troubleshooting technique in Windows that helps you track down a problem to a specific program or process running on your system. ..

Users Tab

The Users tab in Windows tells you which processes are running for each user on the system.

If you have multiple users on your Windows PC, the Performance tab is only useful if you have the same account for each user. If another user closed out of a program, that program will be used up by the other user’s account.

Administrators can end the task of another user to free up resources. This can cause data loss for the other user, so be careful when killing a process from another user.

Task Manager in Windows 10 is a great tool that provides information about your PC and system in real-time. It can be very helpful when troubleshooting problems.

In this part, we’ll talk about the Startup tab and how it can help you get started with your startup.

Performance Tab

The Performance tab lets you see how taxed your various components are. The CPU is the default selection when you click on the tab.

The graph on the right is a useful way to see how your CPU is performing. It tells you the number of cores and logical processors, as well as the base clock speed and cache size. The graph at the bottom gives you information about how your CPU is performing in terms of utilization. This can be helpful if you want to know what kind of performance you’re getting from your CPU.

On the left, you’ll see the real-time utilization and the real-time speed of the processor. You’ll also see the total number of processes, threads and handles. Above, the CPU graph is showing overall CPU utilization, but if you want to see each individual core, just right-click on the graph, click on Change graph to and then click on Logical Processors.

If you click on Memory, you’ll get a graph that shows how much memory is currently being used. The top row is the total amount of memory installed on the system (32GB in my case). The second row is the amount of memory used currently, and the third row is the amount of memory that will be used in the next few minutes.

You can find technical details about the memory speed, number of slots, and form factor on the left side of this page.

The graph for my system drive (C) shows the average speed of data on that drive.

This tab contains limited information about the disk model/brand, read/write speeds, average response time and disk size.

If you have more than one network card, you’ll see multiple Ethernet graphs. In my case, I have two network cards but only one is connected.

The Ethernet graphs typically show a lot of data being transferred, with the highest values shown when something is being downloaded oruploaded. In this example, I started a speed test to see how fast the network was working during the upload phase. The throughput value at the top changed depending on how much bandwidth was being used.

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a great graphics card for gaming. It has a lot of power and can handle high-end games well.

At the bottom of this page, you’ll find information on the driver version and DirectX support that is installed and the supported versions of both. You’ll also find information on dedicated GPU memory and shared memory usage. The graphs also break down the GPU usage by task: 3D, Copy, Video Encode and Video Decode.

The Performance tab contains detailed information about how your app is performing. This includes the performance of your app on different devices, as well as the performance of your app on specific devices.

This tab provides information about the apps installed on your computer, including how much CPU or network bandwidth they are using. You can sort the list by clicking on the column titles. Right-clicking only opens the app if it is not already open. ..

In this final part of our series on the task manager, we’ll discuss the last few tabs: App History and Performance.
