How to Manage Running Processes
Launch the TuneUp Process Manager module by going to the Fix problems category in the Start Center and
selecting Display and close running processes from the Manage processes and show system information area.
Alternatively, you can start the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and selecting
the Display and close running processes entry under Windows.
TuneUp Process Manager provides a great deal of information on the current status of your system. This infor-
mation is divided into three tabs:
Processes
After the module is launched, the Processes tab shows all of the programs and processes that are currently run-
ning. The table shows you the names of the processes together with their priority and CPU usage. The module
also shows you how much memory space the individual processes are taking up.
If you select a process from the list you can view more information on each application with Show details. Select
Terminate process to force an application to close. This is a somewhat drastic measure, but is sometimes nec-
essary to close a program that has crashed, or if you want to stop an unwanted dialer.
When User Account Control is enabled, it is possible that only the processes started by you are displayed. To see
the processes started by other users and by the system, click Show all processes at the bottom of the window.
If you have selected a process in the list, you can click Edit and then Set Process Priority to specify how much
processing power Windows should assign to this process.
