Was there a question? If you are concerned, use SysInternals Process Explorer from microsoft.com to see what is running.

Yes it was a question; I mean if too many processes are running, can I somehow stop unnecessary processes from running to make laptop faster? Thanks again

See my reply with the link in post #2. There is no magic formula to make a machine run faster. You can max out the RAM with the fastest that the machine will take, along with the fastest SSD that the unit will take. Other than that, whatever is running in the OS, can only go so fast, depending on the load and what the program is trying to do.

How many is "too many processes"?

In itself the number of processes running has very little impact on performance. You can have a large number of process and good performance, or you can have a small number with poor performance. What is important is what they are doing.
