    Question PC activity while idle ?

    The whole situation is weird. I don't think I use all of the memory considering I haven't noticed much difference since upgrading from 16gb to 32gb but who knows. I'm kind of lost at this point. On the bright side the computer really does work fine. It's more or less my OCD that wants everything...

    Question PC activity while idle ?

    Still waiting on the page file to drop below the 32768 value. FWIW I don't do much besides browse the web, edit video clips and write code in pycharm. Anything else I may need to do? Tempted to just give it a fresh start but would rather not.

    Question PC activity while idle ?

    Probably close to a 50/50 split between accounts. I don't think I've ever changed the settings on the other one.

    Question PC activity while idle ?

    I actually turned off search indexing (is that the same as search database?). A year or two ago I got really annoyed with the noise and just went crazy disabling things I thought I could live without (probably not wise but oh well). Defender does seem to rev it up more than most other programs...

    Question PC activity while idle ?

    I’ve recently been noticing that my PC will seem to be doing a lot of work when idle. No programs running or anything, I’m sitting at my desk on my phone and it will start to go crazy. I only notice it because I have a Lenovo M900 tiny that does make a lot of noise but that’s if I’m in Chrome...
