Dwm.exe

The dwm.exe process is responsible for a variety of window manager functions within newer versions of Microsoft Windows (Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8). The primary functions it provides are the ability to have transparent windows, visual alt-tabbing, and live taskbar thumbnails.

Since these processes can be memory intensive, this file may display error messages or memory alerts.
