1. Recall the details about the kernel components of a Windows operating system
(OS). Based on the figure below, select three (3) kernel components that you think
are the most significant in terms of process control.
1. Power manager
2. Plug and Play manager
3. I/O manager
1. Power manager
2. Plug and Play manager
3. I/O manager
1. Power Management
2. Plug and Play Manager
3. I/O Manager
2. Give one (1) sample process that can be executed by each kernel component you
have selected. Explain each sample process relative to its corresponding process
control structure. Perform additional research if necessary.
Device and file system drivers serve as the software's interface to the hardware as a
part of the Windows operating system. The hardware abstraction layer aims to
generate different hardware architecture from the operating system while providing
the same interface to the system.

a. What is the operating system of the device?
-Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
b. What is the total memory capacity (RAM) of the device?
-32GB
c. What is the available or remaining memory capacity (RAM) of the device?
-31.9GB
d. Enumerate five (5) running application processes in the device. Select
applications that consume high memory utilization. Indicate the memory allocation
for each process.
-Apex Legends (1.7GB)
-Discord (283MB)
-Google Chrome (1GB)
-PUBG (2GB)
-Dota 2 (1.5GB)
e. Enumerate five (5) running background processes or system processes in the
device. Select processes that consume high memory utilization. Indicate the
memory allocation for each process.
-Microsoft Edge (2.8MB)
-NVIDIA Container (65.6MB)
-Snap Camera (192.8MB)
-Signal RGB (1.7MB)
-Steam (99.5MB)
f. Which has higher memory utilization in your device, the background/system
processes or the application processes? Briefly explain the condition of processes
in your device to support your answer.
- For me, the applications processes because they consume a lot more RAM on my
PC than the system background activities do.
g. Give three (3) possible ways to connect your device to other devices. Describe
each in one (1) sentence.
-Bluetooth which enables connections with non-corded devices.
-Wi-Fi can be used by other devices to connect to internet.
-USB cable you can use USB cable to connect to other devices that need a cord.
h. Does the process of connecting your device to other devices create new
processes? Why or why not?
-For me, the answer is yes because our devices can talk to one another while they
are simply connected to one another. Data can be moved from one device to
another.
i. What are the possible effects of ending (force stop) multiple processes in your
device? Elaborate on your answer.
-When we force stop the app, the majority of the other folks they are known to
close it right away. While running in the background, some programs can still
function and be active. The force stop command will end all background and
foreground processes associated with that particular app.
j. Describe the functionality of your device in the less-privileged mode.
- I may state that my device's less privileged mode has less functionality than
others because even its performance is subpar, especially when used with a high-
end application and because of the slow processor, which causes frame dropouts.
Although not for powerful applications, it is nevertheless functional and available.
k. Identify at least two (2) ways on how you can terminate processes in your device
and briefly describe each.
-You can use the task manager by using that you can terminate processes in your
device. And you can use restart by that it can terminate all running processes.
