Hello.

Recently i have noticed these four processes in my joblist. Since i have no idea what they were, i tried to right click on them, and then click on properties. Nothing happens when i do that. And i can't find any info on them or their file placement.. Do you have any idea what they could be? Or how i can find out what they actually are?

Here:

nvvsvc.exe

winlogon.exe

crss.exe

Winlogon.exe does what it says. It is vital for the system enviroment to work. Kill that and Windows kicks you out of the user session.

Nvxdsync.exe is "NVIDIA User Experience Driver Component". It basically monitors the drivers from what I can tell. There is no getting rid of it I don't think if its not in add and remove. Try going to start - run - msconfig - startup and seeing if it is in there, if so, untick, apply and ok it and restart. If any errors arise, tick it again. You should not need to stop this if it is not malfunctioning.

nvvsvc.exe does not have hardly any impact on your cpu usage at all. it runs at >1% It is called 'Nvidia Driver Helper Service' and is therefore another thing for your graphics card. Try unticking it in msconfig. If any errors arise, tick it again. You should not need to stop this if it is not malfunctioning.

crss.exe This is the user-mode portion of the Win32 subsystem; Win32.sys is the kernel-mode portion. Csrss stands for Client/Server Run-Time Subsystem, and is an essential subsystem that must be running at all times. Csrss is responsible for console windows, creating and/or deleting threads, and implementing some portions of the 16-bit virtual MS-DOS environment. Like WinLogon.exe, if you kill this, your windows session will end abruptly and instantly.


Hope this helps :)
