What is that last listed task: _Total.exe [I'm always suspicious of task/process that starts with a "_"]?
Also, what does the event log say?
I:- GOOGLED IT - ~500 hits and the ones I viewed didn't sound serious.
. - LOOKED in Task Manager - It wasn't running.
. - STARTED UP Sysinternals Process Explorer - It wasn't running.
. - SEARCHED the LOCAL hard disks via Windows Explorer for both "Filename" and "Files Containing Text" - Not found.
. - SEARCHED the Registry - only 'similar' entry that I found was:
HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesSysmonLogLog QueriesSystem OverviewCounter List = [REG_MULTI_SZ]
Processor(_Total)\% Processor TimeMemoryPages/sec PhysicalDisk(_Total)Avg. Disk Queue Length
Since it has the same Task ID as Idle.exe, I'm fairly comfortable that it's a Windows process.
. - VIEWED the three logs in EVENT VIEWER - found no references.
ActiveHm.exe just went BALLASTIC ( "Not Responding") - no events of any kind logged in any of the three logs since almost two hours ago...
My only *NEW* concern is that "something" just generated a Popup Window with an "
Error during install - must reboot" (paraphrased).
Thus, I've delayed the reboot until I've checked EVERYTHING that I wanted to check.
Hope this helps..
Thanks for your ideas!
Are you familiar with the "
Teddy Bear Troubleshooting Method"?
P.S. THANKS for posting your Intro in:
GUESTS/LURKERS: Why Don't You Register (and Become NEWBIEs)? (Read 959 times)!
In it, you stated: "...
[and a big nudge from TTA], I will introduce myself...". But, if you check the current
Members List, you'll see that there are
*SEVERAL* other NEWBIEs, with 2 or more posts, that,
*WITHOUT* my BUGGING / NAGGING / NUDGING, haven't introduced themselves yet.
What's
a concerned Community Organizer to do?!?
