multiple duplicate processes in task manager
After my journey installing a NMVe SSD a couple days ago and installing the latest windows update, I found my start menu didn't work the way it did before. I can get to everything by right clicking ( I didn't have to before ) bit it's different. For one , I can't change users from there. No big deal I guess but different.
After searching a bit and running scannow and such, I looked in task manager and noticed I have multiples of processes, like 2 Microsoft Edge, 2 Macrium reflect, 3 Realtek audio, 4 Bitdefender servise host and 4 Bitdefender user host, and others. Any insight/comments about these ? thanks

Multiple processes for browsers, security, and backup tools are generally normal.
Hardware changes and Windows updates can cause temporary or persistent system behavior changes.
Keep your drivers and Windows updated.
Use built-in repair tools if the Start menu or system behavior remains problematic.
