Use these guidelines with the Insights module in DEX Manager Plus to remediate high resource usage and stabilize applications across endpoints.

High CPU or memory usage detected by DEX Manager Plus can be addressed by implementing the following recommendations:

Recommendation	Why It Matters
Update outdated or unstable drivers	Updating drivers may resolve compatibility issues or errors that are causing excessive CPU utilization.
Apply latest application patches	The latest version of an application often includes performance improvements and bug fixes, reducing CPU load.
Reinstall unstable applications	Removing and reinstalling applications suspected to cause problems can resolve memory or CPU overuse.
Review power management settings	Power settings configured to limit CPU speed or save power may result in high usage. Adjust them to suit business requirements.
Perform malware scans	Malware or malicious services can consume significant memory and CPU resources. Running scans ensures they are removed.
Evaluate hardware capacity	Outdated hardware may not meet computing requirements. Consider replacing the CPU, memory, or even the system.
Check for cooling issues	Overheating can cause CPU throttling, leading to higher utilization. Ensure adequate cooling.
Limit startup programs	Reducing the number of applications that launch during startup saves memory and improves boot performance.
Disable unused services	Non-essential background services consume memory unnecessarily. Disabling them frees up resources.

Frequent application crashes can negatively impact stability and productivity. These steps help mitigate the issue:

Recommendation	Why It Matters
Check for application updates	Vendors often release patches that improve stability and fix known bugs.
Install operating system updates	OS updates can fix compatibility issues that lead to crashes.
Update device drivers	Outdated or incompatible drivers (graphics, sound, etc.) can cause applications to fail.
Verify system requirements	Running an application on unsupported hardware or software can result in instability and crashes.
Reinstall unstable applications	If other measures fail, uninstall the application, remove related files and directories, and perform a clean reinstallation.
