You’ll see the process name, how much of your computer’s processing power it’s using, how much memory it’s hogging and – sometimes – what programs use it. Just use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and go to the Processes tab. The easiest is to bring up Windows’ built-in Task Manager. There are a few ways to see what processes your computer is running. Killing the wrong process can freeze or crash your computer.

You should avoid messing with computer processes unless you have a good reason to do so. Warning: Before we start, I need to make a disclaimer. Knowing your way around computer processes is important when you need to troubleshoot a problem.
