Windows 7 - Task Manager is Slow to Open
I recently bought a new laptop, which has no excuse for being slow.
It's a Lenovo Y560, i7-740QM, 500GB HDD + 32GB SSD, 4GB of RAM... anyways everything on this computer is blazing fast, except for one thing... When I CTRL+ALT+DEL to start task manager it takes close to 10 seconds for it to come up. This was instant on any other computer I know. Does anyone have any insight into why this would take so long on such fast (by the specs) laptop? Thanks for the help. Dan |

I don't know if this matters for the lag you are experiencing with your Task Manager but are there quite a number of processes running in the background? Have you gone to msconfig/Startup and unchecked processes which do not need to boot every time you start your computer? Have you used CCleaner to rid your computer of junkware that the manufacturer installed?

I ran CCleaner, and did turn off some processes at startup. Still says there are 106 running, and it still takes a 10 seconds for it to show up.
My old computer had about 94 processes running and still the task manager came up almost instantly. Only 1.83/4GB of RAM is being used. This really just stumps me. It's no big deal, I am just really curious why it takes so long. |

That is WAY WAY too many processes. You need to examine your startups a LOT more closely.

OK, well I disabled a ton of stuff, and got it down to 80 processes. However, in the list that shows up there are only 27, by user "Dan".
Then I click on show processes from all users, and there are a ton of processes by user "SYSTEM". Can theses be disabled somehow? At this point task manager still takes a while to show up. |

You need to systematically go through everything that's running at startup.

Did you uninstall all the junk the laptop came with? Which AV program are you running? Have you done a scan for malware and stuff?
