    Task manage performance memory used 3x as mush as listed under service


    My Win7 PC run with 8GB memory without any remarkable problems over 2 years.
    From time to time it run out of memory and asked to close Lightroom (using 1 GB) so finally I went to memory upgrade.
    I installed 16Gb and now I noticed that Task manager performance memory usage doesn't match.
    Under Task Manager services section including processes from all users total is 4 GB listed (I did some math)
    But performance monitor states memory used 10.7GB. Where this 6GB goes?
    CPU usage 10-15%
    I have Norton Security active and would like to exclude any possible malware.

    A better way of looking at memory consumption is with process explorer. Please run it and post a screenshot. Process Explorer - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs

A program that I am familiar with that affects performance consuming at least half of CPU does not appear in the programs that can be uninstalled. I know it is there because it does show in the downloads located in the start menu. This program creeps in when you download certain programs from the...
Looked in the task manager today and noticed 4 separate entries for explorer.exe / windows explorer. Is this normal? Or does it indicate a problem? Windows 7 32 bit system. Thank you for your time, Steve
Im constantly having to manually close iexplore.exe tasks in task manager, sometimes it will get up to 8 or 9 of these with NO windows open. It is not due to a virus or malware, as it has done this right out of the box on a clean install. Im using Win 7 Pro 64 bit. It happens with both the 32...
