Note some viruses monitor for task manager and will kill themselves if it is opened, then retrigger once it is closed. So if this is happening a lot then may want to look into that
I'm pretty sure Cortana did that. And that LLM shit that took its place now does the same.
Those sure do sound like viruses.
Can I just leave it open?
My work laptop has been xibiting thus behaviour. I'm trying to decide ic it's a virus or incompetent it
Either way I don't have admin and can't influence the fix
What if task manager also freezes?
You were the chosen one; you were supposed to defeat the Sith, not join them!
I read that Windows reserves the excess CPU capacity, so when you open task manager it goes from 100% to whatever is actually being used. The strange thing is the PC seems a lot less stressed when I leave task manager open.
I keep process explorer open to monitor ram, GPU and CPU usage all the time
Two weeks in switching from Windows to Linux and I never once needed to use the equivalent of Task Manager.
It may well have been beginner's optimism, but still, it did feel strange, so strange indeed that I started wondering whether Linux Mint even had one and I got promptly reassured in my perception by the fact that instead of being named Task Manager (you act with it), it is named System Monitor (you observe with it).
Process Monitor is a thing.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
