Hi everyone,

I'm encountering an issue where multiple processes named "Combined beat ran only by the Elastic Agent" are running simultaneously on my system.

I'm using Elastic Agent to manage and collect logs.  
I noticed in Task Manager that there are several "Combined beat" processes, each consuming varying amounts of memory.  
After a while, my computer shuts down unexpectedly.  
I'm running windows 10 2019 ltsc.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply. There were multiple integrations on it. I configured it to be only system integration. I will follow this for a while. The topic can be closed. Thank you.
