I know it doesn't make sense, but when I disabled this service, it would cause task manager to crash when i try to "show processes from all users." I set it back to Automatic (started) and task manager functions normally again. Any idea why it would do this?

Thanks for trying, at least. I'm able to replicate this at will. But, as I said, it doesn't make sense. Thanks again.
