276 of those process may have been terminated because they had run the course of their cycle of execution. When the course and purpose of a process are complete, the operating system terminates it thus releasing processor resources for the execution of other processes.
Suspension of the 172 processes may have happened because they were idle. This algorithm is common with Windows 8 and Windows 10. The OS is designed to do this so that more resources are available to active processes.
There are two types of suspended states:
Ready Suspended: This happens when the system due to low memory suspends a process for transfer to secondary memory.
2. Block Suspended: A process can also go from Blocked to Suspended. These types of processes are usually found in secondary memory
