The default Windows Task Manager provides a good quick overview of the running processes of a computer system but it fails to deliver the information needed to analyze a process. The Task Manager software extension adds an incredible amount of information to the Windows Task Manager.
The Task Manager software extension changes the Applications and Processes tab in the Windows Task Manager. The Process ID is shown in the Applications tab while the major changes are visible and accessible in the Processes tab.
The default view in the Processes tab remains more or less unchanged. The only two differences are icons for every process listed and Windows system processes are grayed out to increase the visibility of non system processes.
The Task Manager software extension would be mediocre at best if those were the only changes. The majority of changes have been added to the right-click context menu. The two entries Information and Properties which display all kind of information about the selected process. Useful information include the system path, process environment variables and service information if available.
In addition to that users can view information about Files, Modules, Handles, Windows, Threads, Memory Maps and Process Security.
The Task Manager Software Extension added one additional menu to the top menu which provides access to additional information. Users can opt to view the loaded drivers, all handles and search for files and modules.
