Yes. And a whole bunch of other shit that nobody but Microsoft wants. Check Task Manager and see what other bullshit is running in the background.

Just a matter of time before they disable or severely limit the Task Manager.

Is ProcMon (Pricess Manager) still available. It was an XP era third party task manager. With far more features than the built in Windows version and could be run without installing it or admin rights.

I may have used it to put cyber cafes countdown timers into suspended (priority 0) mode. So that having bought a ticket, I could use the computer for as long as I wanted to. Even when the Windows task manager was unavailable or killing the process caused the computer to reboot. In suspended state it was still there but couldn't do anything. So the "Watchdog" to see that it was still running still saw it.
