Process Explorer

Free by Mark Russinovich | Link to website

Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. The display consists of two sub-windows. The top always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that it is in. The unique capabilities make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work. More info »

Comment by Artanis186 about Process Explorer Apr 2012

It's pretty decent with how much data it provides, but it starts too slowly and has the chance to fail when your computer's running poorly. Not a good replacement for Windows Task Manager, but decent if you want to find information about your system otherwise.

Comment by karden about Process Explorer Jun 2011

I use ProcessExplorer to diagnose performance problems of various applications I'm testing, and have found it very helpful. Indeed, it is a bit CPU-consuming, but not for nowadays workstations.

In version 14.01, how do you get the "Network Bytes" graph to appear in the System Information page?

Comment by Xeogin about Process Explorer Dec 2010

Very true, I keep it running using the /t switch and have it start via the start-up folder, but I never select the option to replace Task Manager. Everything needs a back-up.

Comment by uebermensch about Process Explorer Dec 2010

Nice idea, but I experience that ProcessExplorer is really slow. Not too slow but if my Computer really hangs I can't use it anymore at all. Then, task manager is the only help to rescue me.

Comment by Xeogin about Process Explorer Jan 2010

I always have this program running, Task Manager just isn't enough, this program can help you pin point the problem, and has a fun-little targeting tool for shutting down that app that you're just not sure of what it is, aka, a lot of those annoying virus that name themselves system type file names.
