Yeah, I saw that the big spike wasn't there now, weird. Makes me wonder if my system is unstable is some way? What can I do about the registry issues? (ntkrnlmp.exe) I'll check through startup tools in Autoruns, you've got any idea which ones is worth keeping except Avast AV? But now I'm more concerned if there's anything wrong with my system. Is it enough just to unplug the webcam to make Windows Image Acquisition service work ok? Or should I put the service on delayed start?
