By Aaron Newton 2015-03-25 19:25:46
 I was trying to figure out what Dwm.exe was or is so I downloaded process checker but it didnt really explain what Dwm is or does? Is there a way to look at all the processes and determine which ones are indispensible and which ones can be uninstalled and/or turned off safely,w'out affecting cpu performance?
