Why does Windows have so many processes running?
When I open Task Manager, I'm shocked to see so many processes running in the background, even though I haven't opened many programs myself. I don't understand why Windows needs all of these processe...
Seeing many processes running in Windows 11 can look concerning, but a lot of them are separate system components, services, drivers, or applications working in the background. It would be interesting to discuss which processes are normally expected and how users can identify unusual ones without accidentally disabling something important.
