No, I don't. I from time to time use a monitorung utility, but not all the time. And when I did use it before I haven't noticed that provessor running when I was done with hardware monitoring.
I know it's benign but I wonder why is it there if it wasn't there before. What's causing it?
Why do you pick on this particular process. There are many processes that come an go. Do you make a ' Process Inspection' every morning after boot ?? LOL.
Something like that, yes. I really don't want unnecessary stuff running on my PC so I have all unneeded services disabled.
I think you don't realize that these processes don't run - they just sit there in case they are needed. And unless your PC has only 512MB of RAM, they are completely harmless. They just take a smidget of RAM away.
You worry far, far too much about unimportant little details. I have 130 processes "running" right now and they aren't causing me any problems. Just because they show up in the Task Manager doesn't mean they are actually using any resources (or enough to ever be noticeable). Most are just idling in standby but, if you kill enough of them, you will slow your computer down when it has to restart them when they are needed.
Processes are not the same as startup applications. Too many startup applications can cause a slowdown in boot time but, unless you are running a legacy machine with way too little RAM, it will not slow your computer down.
I have 6 GB of RAM. I work with music production so I need as much as possible available. Plus, personally I don't like unneeded stuff running on my PC. I agree with you both but it's my "caprice". :)
