Please let me know if you need more info.
Yesterday my Computer was freezing up 4/5 times after that I was looking around & found these files.
I found 2 suspended .exe files as I was looking at the resource Monitor  (Attached)   What does it mean?? & What do I do.  Please Help me.

               Thank You

I am not on windows 10 right now, but the way to see if it is a good file or not is to go to the file itself, right click on it and go to properties and see if there is a digital signature tab and if it is signed by MS. If it is then it is part of 10 and is used to stop the apps, just like they do on a phone.

MS is treating windows like a phone now after all  :wink:

Peaches:
Thank You Shane I will go check that out.  :smiley:

When looking into this, I came across an article that said that Cortana was normally in a suspended state until used and as it may not always be used, this may not be the cause of the freeze.

Event Viewer may have more info on why and can be checked by the corresponding date and time stamps.

Click on Critical or Errors as applicable then on Show All Instances of This Event in the lower right pane.

Peaches:
Thanks Boggin I will do that & I not sure till I check but I believe I disabled cortana, way to snoopy for my taste.   :wink:
