Task Explorer is a powerful task management tool designed not only to monitor running applications but to provide deep insight into what those applications are doing. Its user interface prioritizes speed and efficiency, delivering real-time data on processes with minimal interaction. Instead of requiring multiple windows or sub-windows, Task Explorer displays relevant information in accessible panels. When selecting a process, detailed information is displayed in the lower half of the screen, allowing you to navigate through the data seamlessly using the arrow keys. The dynamic data refresh allows users to observe changes in real-time, offering additional clarity and insight into system performance and behavior.
Features
- The Thread Panel displays a stack trace for the selected thread, offering immediate insights into the current actions of an application, which is particularly useful for diagnosing deadlocks or performance bottlenecks.
- The Memory Panel allows users to view and edit process memory, featuring an advanced memory editor with string search capabilities.
- In the Handles Panel, all open handles are displayed, including essential details such as file names, current file positions, and sizes, giving a clear view of the disk operations a program is performing.
- The Socket Panel provides visibility into all open connections or sockets for each process, with additional data rate information. It also has the option to show pseudo UDP connections based on ETW data, allowing users to monitor network communications effectively.
- The Modules Panel lists all loaded DLLs and memory-mapped files, with the ability to unload or inject DLLs as needed. Additionally, the application includes a variety of other useful panels, including Token, Environment, Windows, GDI, and .NET panels.
- By double-clicking a process, you can open the Task Info Panels in a separate window, enabling the simultaneous inspection of multiple processes. The system monitoring capabilities are robust as well, featuring toolbar graphs that show real-time usage of system resources such as CPU, handles, network traffic, and disk access.
- The System Info Panels display all open files and sockets and allow users to control system services, including drivers. Dedicated performance panels for CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Network, and GPU resources offer detailed graphs, making it easy to monitor and optimize system performance.
