Assassin X Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 So with my new setup I use a Gigabyte motherboard and one of the processes it runs is "AlarmClock,exe", Well normally its like 21mb of memory being used. But now its SUPER high at 766mb. Any idea why? To note I have been playing No Mans Sky all day along with surfing the web. Picture is attached so you can see it. Thanks.

F13Bubba Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 It's a basically useless task, so just end it. You can also uninstall it, might as well.

Fight Game Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Interesting, ..."AlarmClock.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin X Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 I want to remove it but some say they have had issues removing it or after they did so. Gigabyte told me its needed for the BIOS. Seems like the most useless thing ever though. They claimed:"Smart TimeLock allows you to schedule when your computer can or can't be used. It's done via a simple user interface that allows you to set between which times of the day that the computer can be used and for how many hours it can be used during that time. This is a good tool especially for parents who want to limit their children's PC usage. Smart TimeLock also allows for different usage scenarios during weekdays and the weekend."They also claimed it doesn't actually use that much memory. It just "reserves" it. Ugh.

Fight Game Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) I'd remove it quicker than the time it took me to post this. Edited September 7, 2016 by Fight Game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin X Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Removed it now. Not worth all the memory it takes up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
