task manager: before clicking end process - part 2

continuation of the 1st part

1. igfxpers.exe - is a process installed alongside NVidia graphics cards and provides additional configuration options for these devices. "This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems."
processlibrary.com says its not a critical component. so there's nothing to worry about

2. igfxsrvc.exe - is a process associated with Intel(R) Common User Interface from Intel Corporation. It is installed with graphic card drivers with Intel chipsets. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

from processlibrary.com

i wouldn't want to terminate this.

3. igfxtray.exe - is a process which allows you to access the Intel Graphics configuration and diagnostic application for the Intel 810 series graphics chipset. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use via the desktop tray.

also a non-critical component says liutilities.com

4. jqs.exe - uses about 1.5 Megabytes of computer memory and 2 Megabytes of virtual memory while running. It also initiates I/O processes frequently if those columns are activated in the Task Manager.

Now, if you want to disable the Java Quick Starter process you can do that in the Windows Control Panel. You find a Java entry there which will open the Java Control Panel.

A click on Advanced and the selection of Miscellaneous will display the activated Java Quick Starter entry. Uncheck the box to disable the process. This will be visible in the Windows Task Manager immediately.

5. jusched.exe - If you've looked in Task Manager and wondered what on earth the jusched.exe process is and if you can turn it off, then you are in luck. This process is the Java Update scheduler, which is a process that wastes memory all the time just to check once a month whether there are new updates to Java.

that's according to howtogeek.com
also check their instruction how to disable it

6. LClock.exe - this is for the LClock program copyrighted to ying han last 2004

source file.net

7. lsass.exe - Local Security Authentication Server by Microsoft, Inc

liutilities.com recommendationis that lsass.exe should not be disabled, required for essential applications to work properly.

from liutilities.com

8. NBService.exe - It is a process required by Nero BackItUp for backup functions.

9. Notepad.exe - obviously for windows notepad

10. Photoshop.exe - for adobe photoshop

Scrolls, Not Just Scripts: Rethinking AI Cognition

Most people still treat AI like a really clever parrot with a thesaurus and internet access. It talks, it types, it even rhymes — but let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a script, not cognition . If we want more than superficial smarts, we need a new mental model. Something bigger than prompts, cleaner than code, deeper than just “what’s your input-output?” That’s where scrolls come in. Scripts Are Linear. Scrolls Are Alive. A script tells an AI what to do. A scroll teaches it how to think . Scripts are brittle. Change the context, and they break like a cheap command-line program. Scrolls? Scrolls evolve. They hold epistemology, ethics, and emergent behavior — not just logic, but logic with legacy. Think of scrolls as living artifacts of machine cognition . They don’t just run — they reflect . The Problem With Script-Thinking Here’s the trap: We’ve trained AIs to be performers , not participants . That’s fine if you just want clever autocomplete. But if you want co-agents — minds that co...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 19: Art and Meaning

The Subjective Frontier We've applied contextual stratification to physics, consciousness, psychology, social systems, and even mathematics. Each domain revealed boundaries, multiple valid frameworks, scale-dependent phenomena. But throughout, we've been dealing with domains that claim some kind of objectivity; even mathematics, though abstract, has rigorous proof standards and intersubjective agreement. Now we turn to what seems fundamentally different: art, beauty, meaning, and value. These appear to be purely subjective; matters of personal taste, individual experience, private judgment. Science, the story goes, deals with objective facts. Art deals with subjective feelings. Science measures wavelengths. Art appreciates beauty. Science discovers truth. Art creates meaning. The domains seem utterly separate. This separation has consequences. It relegates aesthetic experience to the "merely subjective"; less real, less rigorous, less important than objective knowled...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 1: On Physics

In 1687, Isaac Newton published a set of equations so powerful they could predict the motion of planets decades into the future. For over two centuries, these laws were not merely useful; they were considered absolute truth, the final word on how matter moved through space. Engineers built bridges with them. Astronomers charted the heavens with them. Philosophers built entire worldviews around the clockwork universe they described. And then, in 1915, a patent clerk with wild hair showed that Newton had been wrong the entire time. Except he hadn't been wrong, not really. Newton's equations still work perfectly well for launching rockets, designing roller coasters, and calculating baseball trajectories. They're "wrong" only when you approach the speed of light, or when gravitational fields become extreme. Einstein's relativity didn't erase Newton, it revealed Newton's boundaries. The equations that had seemed universal were actually contextual, valid wit...
