Answer 1

As an IT technician, I need to understand how to end processes on the process tab of the task manager. Most techies are interested in this tab to determine what process is consuming what resources. Bryce’s computer has a suspicious application that has 90% CPU consumption, and this, as a result, will affect the computer.

• First on the list of things that I am required to identify the actual application that is causing the surge  on the CPU column,
• Next I should be able to right click on it, and select End process on Windows 7 or End task on Windows 8 and later. Carrying out this task will noticeably stabilize Bryce’s computer.
• Finally, I will try to find out whether this application is causing harm to the computer in any possible way. If it is, then I should consider uninstalling it. If it not, I should be able to request Bryce to do an upgrade on his PC in order to handle the application more effectively.
