How to find the hidden processes running on my computer?

ok i open up windows task manager and find i have about 11 processes showing up in the processes tab. but then i go to the performance tab and look where it says processes and it says there are 37 processes running? how can i determine which are good and which are not? and how can i stop them from running if they are hidden from the processes tab? cause my computer is so slow

Update:

i doubt it cause my computer has GOTTEN slow but it used to be really fast. so im assuming malware or spyware or viruses are the cause but are hidden so i cant find it

    In Win Task-Manager click the button (or check the box depending on version of windows) that says 'Show processes from all users', If you find anything seemingly suspicious research it, do a full virus scan on your computer, If the slow speed persists I would suggest refreshing your PC
