Can Anyone please tell me how many processes should be running on startup...when i go to task manager it shows 59 processes...23 of which are administrator ( i.e. me ) processes this seems a lot to me and would it slow down my computer??....what are the crucial processes and how can i get rid of unwanted ones?? Thank you

I had that problem too. I finally whittled it down to about 32. Not great, but I'll live.

I found this site, Task List Programs and looked each one up. Then I used CCleaner Tools>Startup and clicked on whatever didn't need to be running.

I would check with more than one site on the running processes, as there are differing opinions on what is critical and what isn't.
