Windows 8: Is it normal for system processes to allocate large address spaces?

I have noticed in Windows 8 that the system processes, such as services.exe, svchost.exe, winlogon.exe, etc, tend to accumulate large address spaces. See attached picture. Is this normal? I generally look for this kind of behavior to detect memory leaks,
but it doesn't seem like a leaking issue. The virtual size goes to just under 2GB and then stays there. This is on 64-bit systems.

Hi Henri,
that seems to be an artifact of Control Flow Guard feature of Windows 8.1 Update 3 and Windows 10.
See How Control Flow Guard Drastically Caused Windows 8.1 Address Space and Behavior Changes for technical details, and Visual
Studio 2015 Preview: Work-in-Progress Security Feature how to use it. There are more articles on the subject like Exploring
Control Flow Guard in Windows 10.

For this Process is to less disk space f

Hello!
I have a Zen Touch with the new Firmware update!
Now I can switch files smooth to the mp3 player into the folder Data. And when I switch the file again to the Desktop the alarm message: appear. What is the problem? The files are about 700Mb big.
Can You help me please?
Thanks
Harry

Sorry i can't find the bug!
Of course is enough disk space free. The files are .bin, .img, .nrg and so on.
Is it possible, that alle these postfixes wouldn't work? Or probably is it possible that ih make from the file zoom.nrg --> zoom.txt and then I copy it to the media folder on the mp3-player?

Unable to open a new window you must first close exsisting firefox process or restart your system. There is no firefox process running why should I receive this error msg?

I closed a Firefox process. Then clicked the FF icon to restart my browser. I received an error message. " Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window you must first close existing Firefox process, or restart your system. However there is no Firefox process running to begin with. I checked the task manager.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

It takes Firefox 5-15 seconds to completely close and for the OS to release the processes; it may take longer if you have a Flash animation/video running in one of the tabs. If not waiting long enough is not the problem, you can try the following to determine if an Extension or Plugin might be causing Firefox to hang at exit.
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

X200s on Windows XP Pro - System process around 50% after Standby or Hibernate

I have an x200s with the SU9300 1.2Ghz processor. I'm running with a clean installation of Windows XP Pro. I noticed less-than-expected battery life and found that after leaving the computer on for a number of hours (let's say overnight) and returning from Standby or Hibernate, I find that my "System" process takes up around 20-55% but usually hovers at 49-50% when the machine is idle. The "System Idle Process" will take up the remaining 50%. This is observed in the Windows Task Manager.
On my x60s with a core duo processor (and all my other desktops and laptops) the System process will usually be 0% when idle and the "System Idle Process" will be at 99%.
A restart of the computer will fix this issue until I go into Standby or Hibernate again. I usually went for days and sometimes weeks without restarting my x60s. This issue will cause me to get 30% less battery life and will make my system slower to respond, even when I'm typing this post, for example.
Anyone have experience or thoughts on this? Thank you

Any thoughts from anyone out there?

The system process 'C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code 255

Hello All
We have a server 2008 R2 HyperV server and during the last few months it started to reboot randomly.
Initially we thought its related to the issue fixed by the following hotfix so we applied it but even with the hotfix it still keeps rebooting.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2732595
Unlike what's mentioned in the hotfix , the faulting module is not "ntdll.dll" but "msvcrt.dll".Also came up with the following indication the reboots could be related to KB2871997 but that update is not installed
on this system.

2. run " sfc /scannow "
3. keep windows up-to-date
4. if you updated some hardware driver please roll it back
5. if the issue persists , please use windows installation media to perform inplace-upgrade for the system

Windows 8.1 unresponsive with system process at 25% CPU

I have a Toshiba L50-A with an Intel i5-4200U CPU running Windows 8.1 with all current updates installed. At random times (varying from 1 to 15 days but averaging once every 3 days) the "System" process begins using approximately 25% of my
CPU with the usage spread across the 4 logical processors. Using Sysinternals Process Explorer I can see that the thread using the CPU is "ntoskrnl.exe!ExfAcquirePushLockExclusive+0xb54". Once this starts running, tasks (like Process
Explorer) continue to run but I cannot initiate any new task (like Xperf) and can sometimes shut down tasks until the system finally locks up completely. I can find no way to interrupt this condition and have to hard power down the system. I
have investigated all the drivers associated with my peripherals and believe they are up to date. I have also run a severe CPU and Memory test tool for 24 hours and found no issues. I cannot identify anything which changed in my system which
triggered this but when it first manifested it sometimes went 10 or 15 days between occurrences so it could have been a fix or driver but I cannot identify that connection. Can anyone give me an idea of how to investigate this further or what steps I
can take to provide more pertinent data?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Ckeithh,
Did this issue occur recently ,Have you installed any software recently?
To analyze this issue ,I recommend you to work with the Windows Performance Toolkit. It is included in the Windows Acccessment and Deployment Kit.
Here is a link for downloading the tool
WPT: WPR/Xperf: Capture high cpu, disk i/o, file, registry, networking, Private bytes, Virtual bytes, Paged Pool/Nonpaged pool and/or application slowness

I recommend you to try this tool to capture the process ,if you have troubles in analyzing this . Please upload the files you captured to the Onedrive and paste the link here.If this tool can`t be performed, please post back.
Meanwhile, I recommend to get into safe mode to work with the predefined drivers and services to have a analysis.
As for the "ntoskrnl.exe!ExfAcquirePushLockExclusive+0xb54",here is a link for reference:

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

How to change used WD windows for BPM process instance?

Hello SDN!
We have two BPM processes (A and B) and two WD DC (A and B). Process A uses window from WD DC A, process B uses window from WD DC B.
We deactivate process A since we need process B to be used and since A and B use the same WebService. But existing instances of process A still using window from WD A. Is it possible to switch instances of process A from using WD window A to using WD window B? And how we can do this?
Regards,
Lev.

Hi Lev,
Try this:
Use an exclusive choice in your process. Create 2 Human Tasks after the Choice with these 2 WD Screens (A & B).
Based on some condition, you can execute either one of the Human Task. Once this branch of the Exclusive choice executes, place an Uncontrolled merge so that the process execution does not wait for the other branch to execute.
In this way, based on some condition, you can either execute either WD Screen A or WD Screen B without affecting each other.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sid.

System processes needed for web service call

Hi experts,
one theoretical question: how about the system processes needed for a web service call? If have created a test service that does nothing except to wait for 10 seconds. When I call it from outside, no extra process is busy (as seen in trx SM50). Is it possible that one web service call (from outside -> SAP machine) does not need a DIA or BTC process on SAP machine?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Matthias

Hi,
Of course a web service needs a dialog workprocess to run.
But if you used the "wait" abap instruction, it may be that this instruction frees the work process ?

Please check the following in your system:
- Go to PE03
- feature 'WPROC'
- select 'Attributes'
- press 'Display'
- press 'Struct.'
- there you will find the Basic information 'Passing type'
This must be set to '2' (Table Transfer). If this is set
to '1' i.e. please change this entry.
Hope this help

B1if - #sender system in for each processing loop

Hi all,
I am creating a scenario where I use the for each processing loop.
Everything works fine but when I want to use the #Sender system in various steps (call B1 atom eg), I get an error saying the #Sender system is empty.
Do I need to do something to get it populated inside the for each loop?
Kind regards,
Joeri

Hi Joeri,
I have done a test and I have the same problem you are having the system is empty when I use the #Sender System in a B1 call inside a for each. If I use a fix system id then it works fine.

i purchased windows 7 from amazon and i just received it. they sent me windows 7 home premium "OEM System Builder Pack". the instructions say "Intended for system builders only". also says " must be per installed on the hard drive of a fully assembled computer system, using the OEM Preinstallation kit (OPK)."

System Builder - just be sure to get 64-bit version, no one needs or wants 32-bit today, and only comes with one, while retail ships with both 32/64-bit media.
you can't install it and activate on different hardware later is all, and by then for what you saved, so what, Windows 8 or SP2 will be out.
A few people had trouble with Windows 7 SP1 for some reason and not sure exactly why, changes to the boot loader on the DVD I presume.

Windows 8: Is it normal for system processes to allocate large address spaces?
