Process Hacker Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Today I learned you can pause the Windows Task Manager moving apps around

  Or Process Hacker (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/) which IMO is even better. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Windows Explorer memory leak (Windows 10)

  I can use Process Hacker and run "Reduce working set" on it, which makes explorer.exe instantly go down to ~100MB. However, it just starts leaking RAM again and it's a matter of hours until it grows back to several GB. Source: 9 months ago

• FACEIT Anti-cheat - Secure boot requirement update!

  I can't have a task manager style tool installed? It's completely safe and does NOTHING in terms of cheating, no other game has ever flagged it as false positive. Is this AC so bad that it sees the word "h4Ck3R" and thinks it needs to be removed? What else is this thing needlessly scanning my computer for? Source: 11 months ago

• How would I monitor/investigate the network traffic of a specific application?

  For Windows, ProcessHacker2 (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ ) will let you filter by process ID and let you monitor IP traffic from that application (process ID). This is not a substitute for Wireshark and packet capture but a high level view on which remote hosts a process is communicating with as well as watch sockets being opened and closed.

  Download process hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ - you may have to add this to your antivirus's exceptions list if it is detected as a virus. It's not. Source: over 1 year ago

• CPU Hacking: Improve your game stability on any platform!

  Install Process Hacker 2. It's completely open source and harmless. Your antimalware might detect it, so just add an override. Source: over 1 year ago

• TeamViewer installs suspicious font only useful for web fingerprinting

  Nice discovery, indeed that is very suspicious, I wish Microsoft would have sorted out permissions for Windows.. This would help notice things like that earlier I use this: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ gives me notifications whenever a process create/delete services, also has a nice CPU graph in the system tray, thanks to that I noticed Windows will eat your CPU/DISKs whenever you AFK, some... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• [List] Let's talk about the software you can't live without. Here is my list

  ProcessHacker - improved task manager, shows all running processes in a tree structure (Free • Open Source). Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to Find and Stop Running Queries on PostgreSQL

  The trick is to run "taskkill" as user SYSTEM, using "run as". It will kill anything and everything, including generating a nice BSOD if you feel like (kill System process). Or if you're a GUI kind of guy and want a nice interface with plenty of options I recommend "Process Hacker" (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• I am trying to download Wondershare UniConverter and was wondering if it is normal for patches to have so many flags on virustotal? Btw this is from FTUApps.dev from the megathread.

  You can also use tools like Simplewall, Wireshark, Sandboxie /Cuckoo Sandbox, Process Explorer/Process Hacker to help you with this analyze and also to protect you system and data. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I wrote a DLL Injector with Rust.

  Interesting project, nice use of the egui crate. I usually write this kind of thing in C, might be a good time to RIIR. I personally prefer the windows crate because it is official and generated directly from the API metadata. FYI Process Hacker can do DLL injection and a lot more, in case you're looking for a powerful tool. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Trying to uninstall Surfshark but it doesn't show up in the programs list.

  I downloaded Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Windows 10 keeps popping up a command prompt for a second before closing. It interrupts games by tabbing them out. Is there a way to see what service is doing this?

  Other application that was useful for me in similar situation was Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/. Source: about 2 years ago

• So a bit of an odd issue

  Could be some pre-installed bloatware. Process Hacker, which is a beefed-up Task Manager, helped me isolate needless services and processes that were clogging up my CPU. It made a noticeable difference once I pruned out the detritus, plus it has a feature to always launch noita.exe with High CPU priority. Source: about 2 years ago
