    Multiple explorer.exe in task manager hogging most of ram help please?


    So about two days I found that for some reason my computer was going really slow out of no where. I eventually checked the task manger and saw about 4 explorer.exe process and one was taking up almost 2 gig of my ram

    I first thought it saw a virus so I scanned with malwarebytes and then avg but not really was showing up. I then thought maybe my hard drive was going bad but I did hard drive scans and all the scan can out good.

    When I end all explorer.exe process my computer works perfectly but doesn't have the desktop.

    It didnt work but I figured out something by watching the task manager. Before the multiple explorer.exe and ram hogging ocourr I see multiple processses called ctfmon.exe that appear and when they disspear there is another explorer.exe. I do know if this has to do with it but I thought it was weird, here is image to see how it looks

    Do you have something stuck in the print queue.

    Also, could you post a picture of your Resource Monitor > Memory tab (the colored bar and the nums below). Like this:

    I never use this computer to print so I have no clue, I have been trying to figure what this pop was for about a week.

    I think I found the print problem apparently a printer called pdfill is trying to print one of my homework assignments from a month ago, but what is weird is that I have uninstalled pdfill pdf program a while ago. When I click delete on the print it just sits there and says deleting printing but doesn't do it? And when I try to delete the printer it is still there with the "deleting" next to the document

    Reinstall the program so that you can properly operate that print Q

    Besides, multiple IE instances are normal - some are only cached. Not normal is that your active IE takes 1GB+

    And next time you uninstall something, use the free Revo Uninstaller (advanced function). It cleans all files and the registry entries associated with the program.

    I fixed all of the print queue problems now, but explorer.exe is still showing multiple and hogging the ram
