As I mentioned above, process tracking can absolutely have a negative impact on performance. Otherwise, do (or wait for) whatever it is that you’re attempting to diagnose.ĭon’t be at all surprised if your machine runs slower. In the resulting dialog box, check the box labelled Success under Audit these attempts.Ĭlick OK and close gpedit.msc. In the right pane, double-click Audit process tracking: In Computer Configuration, expand Windows Settings (by clicking the triangle or boxed plus sign to its left).In the left pane (expanded below for readability): You can type that into the Run box on the Start menu of Windows versions that have it, enter it as a command in a Windows Command Prompt, or just start typing gpedit.msc at the Windows 8 Start screen and click it when it appears in the search results. To turn on process auditing, run gpedit.msc, the Group Policy Editor 1. In other words, there may be a lot of programs that are more or less constantly coming and going, starting and stopping, and just generally doing whatever it is that they do.Īs a result, process tracking with the auditing tools can slow your machine down a lot. You won’t want to have it on all the time.īut it can be a very useful tool to turn on for “a while” just to see what’s happening. Now, let’s be clear about something: even on a machine that appears to be doing absolutely nothing, Windows and the applications on it may be very busy. One of those auditing options is tracking every time that a program starts. You can then view these in the Event Viewer. Windows includes several auditing options, which can collect a list of activities over time.
Sometimes, it can just explain a flashing item in the task bar.įortunately, there is a fairly simple way to trace what’s happening. When you’re diagnosing performance or security issues, understanding what’s coming and going can be important. Programs do seem to come and go at times.
