  1. As I was looking through my Task Manager, I noticed something odd. There were two conhost.exe running. One of them didn't have a file location, description, or even a user name (well, SYSTEM, but not really). Showing all processes made it decide that it had a description. It was also using more memory. The one that was selected didn't reveal a location. Look at the first and second image ("Windows5", "Windows10"). TaskMan (not Task Manager) revealed that the one using less memory was in System32. The other one was in my user folder ("Windows11"), but when I looked, there was nothing new.

    Showing all processes also made another csrss.exe appear, which was also using a lot more memory, but I don't think (keyword: think) that's an issue. As for the actual csrss.exe that was running, it didn't reveal a location either ("Windows6"). When showing all processes, both csrss.exe were were claiming to be running from the System32 folder, but so were the two conhost.exe.

    The winlogon.exe didn't have a location, TaskMan was also claiming it was in my user folder. (Simple picture to help: "Windows8".) Showing all processes made it give a location.

    (Picture to illustrate conhost.exe and csrss.exe: "Windows2", and a picture for winlogon.exe: "Windows4".)

    Also, noticed that TaskMan was claiming there were two nvwmi64.exe running, while Task Manager claimed one, but showing all processes revealed another ("Windows3", "Windows7", "Windows12").

    Don't worry about the picture naming scheme. The numbers were the order I took them in; nothing else. I left out 1 and 9 because they turned out to be irrelevant.

    As a note, Kaspersky and Malwarebytes scans came back clean. My computer appears to be operating normally with no kind of slowdowns. The only problem is the mouse sometimes acting up, but this is the mouse's fault.

    If this is Windows being rude, then sorry for wasting your time. But I don't really think it's the fault of Windows. I've read other posts where the processes didn't have a location, like now, and they actually found something. Help is appreciated.
