• Windows Explorer and Desktop Window Manager high RAM usage

  If you run Process Explorer (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer) and enable process tree view, you can see what processes are running under explorer.exe.

• Roblox doesn't launch for months on PC

  If you have any suspicious processes running onto your computer, close them IMMEDIATELY. I suggest using Process Explorer, as it has a Virustotal which submits all Executables to virustotal under 70+ antiviruses. If any of the processes have 3+ detections, Close them down as anticheats will detect it and stop you from running Roblox. Source: 5 months ago

• skype is using 20/30% of my CPU all the time even when its on the idle mode.

  If it is the former you can try Process Explorer and set the priority lower (to like 6 or even 4) and see what happens. You can also set the processor affinity with it to limit Skype to only use certain cores. Source: 5 months ago

• Any benefit to running MullVad through Wireguard vs. just using the stock GUI?

  You can check GPU allocated memory for a selected process with Process Explorer for example, in the process properties check the GPU graph tab. But not all processes are dedicated to the hardware acceleration so a lot of them will use zero VRAM, you need to find the correct one e.g. One that has "--type=gpu-process" as one of the command arguments when you hover over a process name in Process Explorer.
