Nope, they simply shut off the sound by pressing "Mutt".

To tail the truth, their wag of doing this is unknown.

Nah, it's far simpler than that. They've trained me that when they do this, if I don't put them out, they'll walk into the next room and pee.

After posting (8GB No Longer Enough -- The Lounge[^]) about issues with numerous processes running as svchost.exe a couple of people mentioned that I should examine the processes behind each svchost using SysInternals.
Here's a snapshot of SysInternals displaying the huge list (69 or more) of svchost.exe procs that are all attributed to Microsoft Corp (win10 processes).
I understand this is the cost of running an OS, but I just thought the list is interesting.

Here's the huge list of things that are running and it would be difficult to determine if any of these services could safely be stopped without effecting the entire system.
I see only a few that could possibly be stopped:
a) telemetry (#39)
b) payments and NFC/SE manager (#66) Why would that be running on my desktop?
c) geolocation service (#65) -- possibly but the way things are tied together it could cause other problems with network or something, I don't know.
You will probably find all of these running on your Win10 machine too.

You can turn off some of those. There's a web site that lists the ones you can/should turn off. Here's one:

Of course, you can google it and find others...

That's cool. I will check it out. Thanks

I would search for another source for that info. The list presented on my example site seemed somewhat anemic...

Thanks, I will take a look around. I understand that all these processes may just be the nature of "doing business with Win10" too. AKA It is what it is.

I have exactly 0.0 of these, so I will probably not find that zoo.

I'm almost there. I'd like to try some Linux distro running Android Studio, but my SSD is too small for dual boot. Also simpler/smaller distros have gotten larger now too so I'm not sure it would solve my problem. Throwing hardware at the problem is simpler, albeit more expensive.

Why not boot Linux from the CD or an image without installing it, just for a test drive?

Haven't only because of laziness. You've encouraged me to do so now. I think I will try that out and see how it works. If it runs fast enough that way (and there is considerable less RAM used) then I could possibly put off buying new hardware for a while.
Thanks!

So am I. Very glad! That is just heinous.
In my first job out of school I was programming Allen Bradley PLCs and they used mostly octal to represent values and it was very annoying. Almost every other PLC used hex and eventually AB did too. At least, to the best of my recollection they did. I got out of programming PLCs as soon as I possibly could which was not long after that.
Amusing trivia : I started that job about the same time the IBM PC came out and back then PLCs were called Programmable Controllers or PCs for short. It took a few years to make the full transformation to call them Programmable Logic Controllers since the term PC had become trademarked.
