How many processes at your startup?

How many processes do you have when you FIRST start up your pc?
To check press ctrl+shift+esc to open up Task Manager.

I got 51.

 

50 or less when i start up. It goes down to 49 then to around 46 later on.

 

usually 37-39 at startup

 

I have about 58ish... then it goes up one or two when I open FF and my music player.

 

I think that threads similar to this have been posted a lot before.

 

I know but sometimes you just don't feel like posting a link to the day old thread.

 

Ouu. Sorry. ;o

37-39. pretty low. u disabled alot of stuff.

 

Having lots os RAM and disabling stuff just for the sake of bringing down the no. of processes is pretty useless.

Free RAM = Wasted RAM

 

disabled window defender, and a few services,
I don't have any widgets or docks running

 

i have windows defender disabled and i disabled a load of services and still at 51.
i do have rocketdock, rainmeter, and miniMIZE start though. dont know why i still have 51. ;[

i checked it out, alot are duplicates...when you go to "show processes from all users"

also question: ehtray.exe and ehmsas.exe deal with windows media center, can i safely disable those?

 

Yes, as long as you don't use Windows media center.

 

I have 42 processes at startup on my Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

 

is this for xp and vista?

anyways.. 21 including 2 for avg (xp home sp3)

 

For either, but it'd be good if you stated your OS.

 

I've got 31 proccesses here with XP Home. I disabled the error reporting service, help & support service, and numerous other junk services. If I uninstalled acronis, iTunes, an alt-tab powertoy, and an icon service, I could probaly get down to the low 20s. Memory usage is 230s/512MB with forementioned services, Sygate firewall, and NOD32.

 

I have 17 with XP Professional SP2.

 

Nice. That's pretty low, i can imagine you did a lot of tweaking.

 

Oh yeah. I forgot to state which OS. Obviously Vista has a load more than XP. Should of made this a Vista poll. Since that was what I was referring to.

 

23 on my desktop with XP Pro SP2

50-55 on my laptop with Vista Business... still in the tweaking stage with it. Over the course of the last week, I've went from a 3 minute startup time with 70+ processes to about a 50 second boot time including WLAN and Bluetooth.

 

I uninstalled tons of useless stuff that came with my toshiba A135, it was at low 30s

 

It's not useless. You increase boot time. The # of processes on default is a load. You don't even use like 1/3 of them or more. Why not disable them. ;o

 

used to Win XP Pro 2 around 18 or so.

mostly common noobs don't know what is startups with apps running in task manager everything hogs down when they turn on pc and take ages to desktop forever plus adware, evil evil toolbars, spyware, p0rns infected, preinstalled OS is bad.

My laptop come with preinstall os vista 32 bit with little bloatware not like others HP, Dell, etc...so I use Upgrade Anytime DVD install clean OS then install SP1 after, I get around 46 then tweaks down to 35 here for Vista 64 with FF2 running, I hate any auto-start apps in taskbar take long time to desktop.

Dg

 

Around 47 startup.

 

60 vista-32

 

What's the average # of processes at startup, no tweaking with a 32 bit vista?

 

About 60-70 if i recall correctly.

 

Oh. Dang, I followed BlackViper's services list and still at 51. i only have 4 things i personally run at my startup. why is it so much compared to some of the other ppl in here.

 

i said before, my fresh installed, not tweaked vista started up with low 30s processes....

 

I'm running 86 at the moment. don't know how many at startup, pretty sure at least 70

 

21...oooo yea

edit: only 196 mb ram use....oooo yea

 

43 with Vista Business 32-bit

 

I used to pull off 27 with XP SP2... but fatass Vista can only tighten the belt down to 45.

 

34 processes and ~300MB memory usage for my XP x64 Pro desktop. That is with Punkbuster, NOD32, and Intel Matrix Storage Manager, and Creative MediaSource Go! running.

 

Nice Chaz, i had my XP desktop running around 27 processes with about the same RAM usage as you.

 

I have 48 right now.

 

Not ATM, at startup.

 

currently using my girlfriends old Dell while mine goes back to Asus. Hers has 21 using xp, Mine when its working has 54

 

27 on my HP notebook and 28 on my Eee PC.

 

I've got around 80, in vista ultimate x64. is that an issue? also i would like to cut down on processes so it boots faster.

 

Yeah, I had about 75 (Vista Biz 32-bit) last I checked, and I haven't even tried to cut that number down. Maybe I will, there are a few obvious ones I could get rid of. But I don't think it's really all that important anyway. Couldn't hurt to get rid of a few of those update-checker processes though.

 

OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
This is how many processes I have running once I boot in to Windows. After I start Skype, Photoshop, Firefox you can add +3.

 

^^^ that is truly impressive.

 

55 at startup. No processes manually disabled, but I disabled several Windows features that probably cut it down. Right now it's 56.

AVG has a lot.

 

After some trimming, I had 39 (minus snipping tool and tablet stuff):

 

Then why not use something lighter like Avira Antivir if the amount of AVG's processes bother you?

 

Because I like AVG. It doesn't bother me.

I don't really care about 55 processes, that's fine. The was just mild regret.

 

I've cut mine down to 47. Wewt.

 

If you stopped ctfmon.exe, disabled fast user swtiching, and didn't count task manager, you could claim a proccess count of 14

 

why would someone worry about the no. of processes as long as you have good amount of RAM?

Disabling lots of services and having limited no. of processes is not a very big deal.

 

Maybe beacuse it reduces the amount of boot and start up time???

Also If you don't use it. why keep it enabled
