Taskexplorer V1.2.9

Considering that it enables you to find out more about what is happening to a certain program when it crashes or freezes, Windows Task Manager is one of the most useful tools included in the operating system. Then again, the tool does not always provide enough information for advanced users and, at times, it cannot kill tasks effectively.

TaskExplorer is a replacement for the standard Task Manager that comes with advanced application monitoring and that allows you to know exactly what the apps are doing.

TaskExplorer is an easy-to-use utility that does not only provides detailed insight on what is happening in your system, but that also refreshes continuously so you can explore the dynamic of values and figure out the reason behind crashes, freezes and other performance issues.

This utility is very easy to use and gives you far more options, Also very light on resources so wont slow your pc/laptop down, Recommended.

WuMgr (Update Manager for Windows)

Handy Windows Manager Tool

WuMgr (Update Manager for Windows) is freeware by David Xanatos. The freeware allows management of Microsoft Windows products that receive constant updates. It runs with the “Windows Update Agent API” so that it works smoothly on Windows operating system. It is also built with .NET programming language compared to Windows Update Mini Tool which is previously written in C/C++. This freeware identifies which update is missing on the computer and it downloads them. It is capable of delivering user-fine control of Windows 10 updates just like the prior OS versions of Windows. Having a freeware status means it is often updated to meet with changes. I have found this finds updates that are missed on the windows 10 windows updates in settings, so i recommend.

How much Ram?

Posted on by rang

The common belief is that the more ram installed, the faster the PC you get, this is not always the case. What more RAM does is that it makes it possible to open more applications simultaneously. It switches back and forth between these opened applications at a faster rate than you could on the previous RAM, hence more RAM equals better multitasking abilities.

You have to be aware that having a 32 bit system will limit your ram to around 4GB no matter how much ram you have installed, Using a 64 bit system changes things yo can utilise as much ram as your motherboard will allow.

How much Ram do i need?

Windows will run on 4GB of ram though i think 8GB of ram is much better, you can run all your basic tasks with this, EG you can happily edit your word document, while running youtube and downloading some files (Multitasking) with ease.

Though if your gaming most people prefer to use 16GB of ram bear in mind you will need 3GB of ram (approx to run windows) See below pics of windows 7/10 in steady state Ram usage.

Windows 7

Windows 10

As you can see on my system iam running with 32GB of ram i have a dual boot system running windows 7/10 this is more than enough for me i rarely exceed over 10GB of ram unless iam running a VM (Virtual machine)

I would say for basic computing and light gaming 8GB is fine, If your a serious gamer i would suggest 16GB, If you do a lot of rendering, working heavily with graphics and video i would suggest 24/32GB of ram

But always check your motherboard to see how much ram you can install you can always download the scanner at Crucial US | DRAM, Solid State Drive (SSD) & Memory Upgrades that will tell you how much ram you can install and choose the correct ram for your system.

 

 

 

 

 

Storage sense

Posted on by rang

Microsoft announced that it will begin depreciating the Disk Cleanup tool starting in Windows 10 v1809, and in its place they are ramping up the built-in Storage sense feature originally released with Windows 10.
Storage sense will automatically run cleanups when your disk is low on space, but you can configure it further to run on a schedule.

Storage sense can be found in Settings/system/storage

Self-activate on Low Storage

Storage Sense can now turn itself on when your device is low on storage space. Once activated, Storage Sense will intelligently run whenever your device runs low on storage space and clear temporary files that your device and applications no longer need.
Storage Sense looks for and will remove the following types of files:

Temporary setup files

Old indexed content

System cache files

Internet cache files

Device Driver packages

System downloaded program files

Dated system log files

System error memory dump files

System error minidump files

Temporary system files

Dated Windows update temporary files

And more

If you’d like to clear even more space on your device, you can enable the removal of old content in the Downloads folder. Downloads folder cleanup is not turned on by default.

The configuration page of Storage Sense is very basic and you don’t have a lot of options to change anything here.

For example, you have the following options to run Storage Sense:

Every day

Every week

Every month

During low free disk space time (default)

You can also use the “Locally available cloud content” section on the Storage Sense page to remove unused files that are already stored on OneDrive.

For example, you can let Storage Sense run every week and select a 14-day window for Files On-Demand.

This will allow Storage Sense to run once a week, automatically identifying files that you haven’t used in the past 14 days, and make those files be available online only by using your OneDrive storage.

As you can see, Storage Sense offers an easy to use method to remove unnecessary files from your computer to free up space. This is especially useful for small C: drives that may be running on limited capacity SSD drives.
