Hello every one,

What does your Task Manager look like? Do you see high CPU or high disk usage? Right now I am running 2% CPU and 1% Disk, with three instances of Chrome (lots of tabs) and several other apps.

I keep the Task Manager open all the time, so I can see what might be bothering my system. I don't often run Word but I run many other things, continuously, without a problem. My Windows 11 release is the latest available.

To clean up my system, I just went to Settings -> Installed Apps and deleted anything that I didn't find useful. There are, however, some apps that can not be deleted. For those apps, I just ignore them. Since I don't use them, they don't use anything but disk space (and I have plenty). They are not an issue.
