Situation and Problem: We are working with Citrix + Windows Terminal Server 2012 R2 and we are experiencing that a single Internet Explorer (Version 11.0.96) process can use up to 60-80% of CPU-Power. Since there are 15 user working on one Server any given time, one or two users can disturb all the others by using all the available CPU-Power.
First (insufficient) Solution: To overcome this Problem, We changed the Internet Explorer shortcut from the users startmenue (tile-design menue): We are starting the Internet Explorer just with three cores (out of 6 core) with this command:
start /Affinity 7 iexplorer.exe
Problem: If the users start the Internet Explorer from a link (out of word, Outlook or wherever), the Internet Explorer is starting again with all six cores.
Question: Is there a way to start the iexplorer.exe process (Independent from the starting point) always with less cores, or is it possible to limit the CPU-usage for a specific process..?
That's just two possibilities I'm thinking about, if you have other solutions in mind, feel free :)
Thanks and greetings Kevin
Many reasons can cause this issue, Like due to issue in a update, due to homepage, due to add on.
So you need to check one by one that what thing cause this issue.
You can try steps below and check whether CPU consumption reduced or not.
(1) On the General Tab click Tabs button and unchecked the option "Show Previews for individual tabs in the task bar".
(2) Go to the "Advanced" tab in "Internet Options" and checked "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering".
(3) Temporarily disable all the add on and turn on them one by one and check the consumed memory every time. If if you find any add on consume high CPU then remove it from IE.
(4) Try to check whether issue caused by a faulty update.
You can also try to refer MSDN article below and if you are using that specific update then try to apply the hot fix may solve your issue.
Internet Explorer 11 consumes high memory and CPU cycles after you install update MS15-106

I have 2 monitors at work and 2 monitors at home.
When I log into work from home using mstsc /span, my work desktop appears correctly spread across my 2 home monitors.
Then I want to open another RDP session on my work machine. When I maximise that window, it now fills both of my home monitors. How can I make it just fill the monitor it is on - like it would if I was at work and NOT using mstsc /span?
The solution is to edit the file "default.rdp" created in your Documents forder.. You need to add a setting for "selectedmonitors:s:x,y,z,*".
If you want to know which number is your monitor, execute "mstsc /l" in ms-doc command.

Scott Hanselman also answered inside a comment with his own blog. his solution is very detailed:

This is an old question but I'll suggest an answer now anyway in case someone lands up here.
It seems to me that to solve this problem there is no need for selectedmonitors in the RDP file. Instead of using /span to connect to work you should be using /multimon.
/span creates one big "screen" across your two home monitors. So when you go "fullscreen" in your work session it goes across them.
/multimon makes your work computer aware of your two-monitor setup. When you maximise a window or go full-screen it will do so in the way you'd expect.
As I have found recently, selectedmonitors could be useful if your primary monitor at home is not the one which you want to consider the primary in your work session.
While implementing solution for Level 3 Advanced Training on a separate machine, connected via RDP, i had to use the default UiPath Academy Recorder in order to upload my solution.
Here is the tricky part, although the automation completed successfully without the Academy Recorder on, while it was activated it failed (at random iterations) to recognize the download pop-up window element using the on-element appear activity. If the Academy Recorder was launched from the main machine the automation was also completed without errors.
Additional actions tried:
Check if element vanished
Check with On element exist instead
Also used wait for active and wait for visible options
Checked options for Interactive and Completed as well
-Is this related to the fact that the Academy Recorder slows down remote machine?
Thank you in advance,

I'm quite aware this hasn't been answered in 2+ years (so hopefully you've solved it!)
An alternative way is to use the Wait For Download Activity.
This activity will wait for the file to be completely downloaded before moving to the next step (so be aware of any timeouts if a bigger file)
The activity is included with the UiPath.System.Activities
For a project I am working on I want to collect data of malware in a virtualbox for 30 seconds and then revert the VirtualBox back to its original state and repeat this process 500 times for 500 different malware links that I have in a txt file. Before I revert to the normal VirtualBox state, I want to collect data from a program that is monitoring that malware. What is the best way to do this?
Edit: I'd also like to point out that I have code to read the opcodes that are being used by the application. All I would like to do is automate this process for the virtualbox.
I am not aware of such a feature in virtualbox or vmware but you can always use third party tools to compare the state of the different parts (like registry) before and after the execution of malwares.
I heard Ashampoo unistaller is a great tool to do the job but personally never tested it before.
Another option is to use sanboxes like sandboxie or cuckoo sandbox to capture the changes.
Another option is to use online sandboxes like hybrid-analysis which is perfect for what you want to do.
Just keep in mind that most malwares use anti-VM techniques to prevent execution in VMs so you probably will not be able to capture all the features of the malwares.
Hope it helps.
I recently upgraded from 2005 to 2012 (about 10 months). When I first started using SSMS2012 it worked great was able to open multiple windows in a particular database. For about that last 2-3 months SSMS hangs when I try to open more than 1 query window or open a file. It is random but happens a majority of the time. I have been able to interrupt the hang a few times. When I interrupt it I get the login screen and it sits there trying to log in apparently unsuccessfully. If I cancel the login and try it again with the same entries it connects just fine and things are great, but I have to do this for every window and I cannot often break into that screen before it stops responding.
I have searched extensively and have not found an answer to this problem. It only appears to be happening to a particular instance. The instance does not show any signs of issues, has been rebooted and configuration checked for inconsistencies, etc. I am at a loss. If anyone has experienced this and has been able to resolve it I would appreciate a response.
Again this is a fresh install of 2012 standard with 2005 imported databases. All indications show that it is working fine. compatibility level for a majority of the databases are still 90, until I can clear them for 11 with the software they house. I have a test environment with the restored versions on a different server and no issues result from that instance - I can open up multiples without incident. My belief is it is something with that particular instance, but I am not sure where else to look.
Thank you in advance.
Every morning when I get into work I launch about a dozen apps and whatnot (FF, TB, VSx2-3, Eclipse, SSH, SVN update x2-3). Needles to say this does a good job of warming up my HDD for the day. I rather suspect that it would run a lot faster if they were launched sequentially (not to mention that I wouldn't need to click in 17 different places).
Is there a preexisting product that can kick off a sequence of tasks/apps/etc. where each task is only started after the last app is done hammering the HDD?
It would nerd to be able to kick apps like VS and firefox and also be able to trigger explorer context menu items like SVN update in TortoiseSVN.
Try SlickRun, it's free, I've used it for years, I use it constantly and I'd be lost without it.
Think of it like a configurable Start->Run command, it'll do what you want (you can configure n second pauses between multiple commands), and if you install it you'll use it for a thousand different things before the first week is out.
P.S. I have no stake in SlickRun, I just like it :)
Unfortunately, I don't know of any software that can do this for you automatically.
However, can't you trigger the updates through a console SVN task? If so, can't this be done by creating a batch file? It's low tech, and you might want to add a few pauses between each task, but it should do what you want.
As you mention TortoiseSVN, I'll assume your O/S is windows.
You could launch an Autohotkey script at startup. I don't think it can easily detect HDD activity, but you can at least wait until each window appears with the WinWaitActive command.
If each application has an average time they take to complete, you could simply use Windows' Scheduled Tasks application. Obviously you'll need to be running Windows but Scheduled Tasks can be found in the Control Panel.
Execute "Add Schedules Task", select the program, the frequency and then the specific time.
