Task Manager

Many of you will already know that there are malicious programs that consume a lot of computer resources and make our Windows 10 or our computer go slower than normal. There are also programs that work abnormally that consume many resources and others that, after activating third parties, also saturate our computer.

Unless it is a virus, all these processes or programs can be corrected thanks to the Windows Task Manager. This administrator allows us not only to end these malicious programs but also to detect which program is "slowing down" our computer.

The CPU consumption, the ram memory, the internal storage they occupy, etc ... will appear for each application.

Usually Windows 10 when you are not running any programs, it has an overall consumption of 30%, if we are running several applications, this consumption rises to 60% but if it is more, we are facing one or several applications that consume our resources in an exaggerated way.
