Application - contains a program
Program - executable file, creates services to run

Download the Chrome package and save it to your desktop but don’t run it.
Chrome setup is no longer a package but an Application/Executable, how can you confirm this?
After installation, this has turned into a program. Where do you find programs?
What happens when you click on the application/program?
If you’re running two processes why might it show 6 background processes?
Disable IE Security
Server Manager > Local Server > IE security config > no to both
Click drop down of save > click desktop
download google Chrome
Right click setup and go to properties to check that it is an exe and app
Control Panel > uninstall programs
It starts the process
Task manager > drop down chrome > that’s the process
(if you run chrome again, you’ll see this changes to 2 processes)
These 6 are the threads. These are different things chrome is doing. This is what actually get the processing time.
How do you restart a service?

Click event > actions > save selected events
Reboot to single user mode/safe mode
Now update system
