I open Task Manager and start Resource Monitor then close the Task Manager. Wait a bit and then open Task Manager again and try to do something with the desktop such as right-click over Computer in the auto-hide task bar. In a bit perfmon.exe will be showing using 99% CPU. Can't get it to happen every time but happens often enough :-) |
