Yeah, windows task manager doesn't do shit if you are already low on resources. My desktop doesn't have a lot of resources to be used up and there have been a few times task manager is just as bad as the programs I want it to kill due to lack of resources.

It will very gladly show you all the resources are being consumed by some service you don't need, can't uninstall or disable, and will just consume more resources by restarting if you terminate the process.

Funny, because you can uninstall or disable every service in Windows. But you would lose functionality, so most do not do that.

You linuxians really only know Windows from the memes, don't you?

Ah, yes, I'd love to disable core components of windows that are using 100% disk. I'd loose the pointer? Great! Explorer? Fantastic! The file indexer? I didn't need files anyway!
