Do I need or can I scale down these running processes
Hi, I have just run Task Manager to see what is currently running on my PC and the desktop windows manager seems to be using quite a bit of memory.
Is it best to scale this down somewhat and are there any other processes which can be disabled ?

For what it's worth, my Desktop Windows Manager is using only 1,396k of memory right now---but I don't know what a typical number would be.
That's not many processes---how many do you show if you check "show processes from all users"?? Anything under 50 or 60 is pretty good.
How much RAM do you have?

But we don't yet know how many processes you have when all users are shown.
With 8 GB of RAM, it's not likely that RAM usage by Desktop Windows Manager is a big deal. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one
