I bet anything it's your drivers Whole OS is crap because of one silly bug in a game? Try looking into the actual causes of the bug before bashing anything. You know you didn't even bother.
For me W10 is another failure from Microsoft. You cannot count the so many processes in task manager. Not to say that some of them cannot even be disabled. I need someone to explain what the heck is happening with the background tasks. As an end user, i see it from the point of view of my personal experience. After all Windows is just windows What has changed so much in all the windows history. Is just about apps opening up in windows. How does Microsoft justify the increase in ISO size. Windows 7 was already complete in terms of features. Cortana is USELESS. Common who is gonna search by voice command??? It's stupid, it takes there a bunch of memory just for listening what you have to say. And you need to try speaking the phrase many times unless you have a good microphone and a GOOD spelling. All this can be resolved in 3 secs just by typing the word Needless to say, BUT SOMETIMES TECHNOLOGY FAILS
Fingerprint sensors have been around for years and never garnered much of a following. Why would facial recognition be any more popular? I prefer a quick password/PIN so I can use my computer right away. Who the hell wants to wait 30 seconds for a "Duck Dogers in the 24 1/2th Century" scanning eyeball?
Yep, because things work on one persons machine, but don't on another, has to mean the issue is with drivers, and not the OS.... the unfinished, pre-release OS, that is not RTM for a reason..... This just keeps getting better and better
A "normal" person won't care or even look at Task Manager (or they'll glance at the non-descriptive Task Manager that you see when you first open it). If a task isn't plainly presented on the taskbar, those people won't care when or if it's running or how much resources it's using. A "normal" person also doesn't care at all about iso size or how big the installer wim is. They won't even know this stuff exists considering the OS would just be pre-installed or conveniently upgraded to 10. Cortana is interesting to say the least, but I can't find much of a use to it either. I tried using it a few times just to check the weather... barely got it to pick up the right words most of the time. Meanwhile, I can either glance at the Start Menu, click the weather app, or just use many other non-voice methods for seeing what the weather is with less hassle (I prefer just waking my Android tab, and swiping to the right for Google Now). Windows 10 is clearly designed for "normal" people first. Power users will have to strip off the useless stuff, or get used to it (and for a good while now, stripping off useless stuff was pretty impossible without breaking a chain of other stuff). At this point, I only use Windows 10 for the performance improvements (although part of me wonders if there really are any). Modern UI apps are nearly useless to me. The few that "could" be useful to me also fall short of 3rd-party offerings: - Music app can't handle .ogg (and .oga) formats - Movie app can't handle majority of my files properly (broken subtitles, no subtitles, no video, no format, etc) - Xbox app's Game DVR doesn't work with exclusive fullscreen games - Edge closes randomly and cancels downloads in an awkward manner if I clear the Download list while something is downloading And UAC is nothing but a hinderance to me. I know how to not run garbage from the internet. I don't need training wheels on my OS to hold me back with every little thing. But really, all that is pretty off-topic As for the System process, it stopped using a large chunk of memory after I closed the game I was in and while I was typing that message out above. While I was playing, I was also recording gameplay, and also doing it at some pretty high resolution, and also throw in a couple of minimizes. So maybe some combination of that stuff caused the memory usage (maybe it's some kind of cache?).
The 'System' process is just devices and drivers, one of those two things will be causing the problem. Since you mentioned gaming, I would suggest uninstalling drivers (e.g. AMD graphics drivers) and trying different versions - also try disconnecting external devices and/or disabling the driver. What needs explaining? Driver issues will likely be fixed in the next few weeks after RTM. What can't be disabled? Also, define "background tasks" as it could mean a few different things.
IMO Cortana is awesome, All i have to say is "play digitism" and it plays every single song from digitism. Easy to set reminders and easy to get direction to the nearest store. Easy to open apps. If you need GOOD spelling to use Cortana, I just don't know what to say about that kind of user............
Seems to me only you are USELESS and a FAILURE. Speaking words is MUCH faster then typing typos and having to go back to fix your typos. You just do not deserve adopting new technologies, simple as that. While the rest of the world learns to talk to their computers AI and enter into a new era of modern human beings, you can keep your quaint little old-school keyboard. No one is forcing you to adopt new tech....
As a family man who's PC is in my living room (Noisy kids, TV etc etc) its fairly useless Plus can type almost as fast as i can speak anyways. I found if i speak as a reasonable speed cortana just flops. I think it could be due to my accent. (common with voice software) Also speaking out loud to my PC when friends are over or miss is watching TV is sort of awkward. Much more easy and stress free to bookmark things you look at often or install apps and just hit the windows key for real time tile info. It's not a case of getting used to new tech and not living in the dark ages for me. Its just technology not made for people like myself so wont be used. I am sure for some it will work amazing but just not for me. I doubt they had people like myself in mind when creating it. Its more of a mobile thing that can also be used on a Desktop/Laptop. I have use for it on a mobile, but not in my living room.
So lets see, I now have Siri, Hey Cortana, Ok Google and OMFG my Xfinity Remote all can use voice commands. Enough already. The only time I use my mic is when I am gaming.
Seriously???? Anyhow AMD CPU/Chipset and GPUs Xfired here and never had this issue. To the OP of this issue...there is more at play here for you, some driver or software on your particular system is causing the high memory usage for you. Trying to remember how to check to see what all is being called in that process. You have an issue with you system itself.
