Some process is occurring approx. every 3-4 seconds that causes the CD
player (music) to skip while concurrently causing the cursor to hang --this
skip and hang are brief, maybe milliseconds. (The cursor will also hang that
way when the player is not in use -- but talking about both skipping, I
think, illustrates something I suspect is systemic.)
A little detective work results in the following observations, but please
don't mistake them for advanced expertise: In Windows Task
Manager/Performance Tab there is a concomittant spike that coincides with
the skip/hang (it spikes to teens-to-twenties % CPU usage from 0%).
There are 34 processes running. Could this be something updating every
couple seconds? I am not savvy as to determining necessary, as opposed to
unnecessary, processes to fool with trial/error disableing.
What type of process or application would have this effect?
Is 34 processes running normal? If not, what to do?
I have many, many programs installed (too many to un/reinstall
individually to assess.) Please help. Thank you.
