Startup tab — what's connected to boot time
Trust its “Startup impact” (measured, not editorial) and the Status column; chase E_PENDING mysteries with the impact thresholds post. Disable via right-click — it writes the approval blob, just as the command line stays intact for re-enable.
Performance tab — idle health in one glance
Memory “Committed X/Y” is the pressure number, not %. Disk active-time spikes correspond to maintenance and index work. GPU columns exist since 1903+; engine labels matter (3D vs Video Decode) for the “YouTube makes the fan spin” class.
Details tab — the forensics tool nobody opens
'Elevated' column exposes which processes hold admin tokens; 'Name' + 'User name' tells you precisely which account each service claims to run for. Sortable by any column: identify what's not you without external tooling.
App history tab — the per-user ledger
Per-user recordings of CPU time and metered network per app — “which April updaters were hungry” by total cost, not by last-process-sighting superstition. Use it before concluding anything needs to be uninstalled.
