how many processes do I need in background
Task manager shows I have 79 Background processes and 94 window processes is this the cause of my pc being so slow.They all show a very low useage but cumulatively they must add up to a lot.

Well you could see that for normal operation there are a reasonable number running. However the total processes running are only using 2% of CPU and 35% of Memory, perhaps those figures are more significant than the actual number running.

the number of process is the number your specific computer needs to run everything you have installed with the settings you use. There is absolutely no way for anyone to tell you what you need for your specific computer.

It's normal to have a great many of them. As I write this, I have only seven running applications, but 120 processes. And Windows is running just fine. To examine your processes, right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager (Start Task Manager in Windows 7), then click the Processes tab.

Dan is spot on.
There is no way anyone can tell you how many you need in specific numbers. Your system needs what it needs. And that is based on your version of Windows, how your version is configured, how your user account is configured, the programs you have starting with Windows (like your security apps), how those programs are configured (to include their updaters), the other programs you have running, which "housekeeping" chores the OS is currently doing, and what you are doing at that moment in time too. With this 64-bit, W10 Pro, I have 79 Background processes running, but I have been watching that while typing and it has varied from 78 to 81. |

It was apparently there before, as the notice came up that it was unable to open desktop as is either on a hard drive or moved., this pc belonged to a third party so I know little about it I went to put cybertech web page on the desktop only to be met with that notice.
