Task Manager and Detecting Processes that Compete
By now, you should be eager to close applications that occupy resources against IL-2.
There are three categories of Windows Task Manager that I will cover next in the subject of closing things that compete with IL-2 for CPU processing.
Though there are several ways to open Task Manager ( TM ), I either open it in the button of Defender's Currently Running Programs while I am there, or I simply hold-down ctrl + alt + delete buttons.
#1) In the TM window, Applications is the first tab. Entering there will reveal the programs currently open or opening and will be shown in your screen. If IL-2 ever freezes, you can open TM by simultaneously pressing keys ctrl + alt + delete. While increasing Graphics card settings and testing, this is normal and not too unusual. The sim will be shown and you can select End Task. If your mouse won't work, then use the tab, enter, and arrows buttons on your keyboard to move to different things in TM which will be slightly highlighted, and to select push enter. This is how you handle tasks easily. Hence, the name Task Manager. The ability to end things not related to IL-2 before you fly is in your hands. Again, be careful not to close the critical system things. By the way, if you have many windows open, doing it here is quicker and easier than chasing all those window close buttons.
#2) The second tab is Processes in TM. (A process has the potential to use a bunch of threads through your CPU.) Here you see the current processes that have been started. You push the End Process button to stop those that are safe to do so. Before using IL-2, I close Windows Live Messenger and its platform under it, for example. Exam the list to see anything that is safe to end.
#3)Third is the Services tab of TM. Here you see software systems designed to perform tasks in multiple areas that need coordination. Perhaps you immediately see how this could compete with IL-2 for your computer's attention and resources.
Vista updates solved many of the conflicts that resulted in slow loading and even freezes. However, you can click the Services tab and push the Services button at the bottom to access the window to stop some occupying things. A second window will appear for that. For another example, I don't use Apple Mobile Devices, so I stopped it. Be extra careful here not to close something that your OS uses to keep your computer running.
