Why does the CCleaner Performance Optimizer tell me I have a number of programs slowing down my computer yet I can't find anything in the Windows Task Manager that indicates they are running?

running under MacOS/Parallels and found one such program. When I dug into the details it provides, what it revealed were the services it was running. A different kind of consumer for CPU and memory resources.

  Thanks, I missed the fact that one could click on an entry and see more details. The CCleaner startup tool does not show them as startup items which to this lay person seems odd.
  
  However, I do see them listed as running if I use the PowerShell Get-Service command.
