    I understand that computers have to run things, and honestly most of those things are probably useful.

    But what would be more useful is if it grouped them all up. Right now Steam is 10 different lines in Task Manager. The components of Windows are even worse, and have really descriptive names like AggregatorHost.exe which might be part of the built-in malware detection, but frankly could be anything. It’s not even in the Windows processes section, which I assume is for parts of Windows itself.

    My Razer mouse software launches 5 lines just called CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess (32 bit). How does that help anyone? As a software dev I can see it’s probably yet another App as a Bundle of Chrome thing, but there’s no indication of what launched it.
