Yes, I use Process Hacker. Before - I used Sysinternals Process Explorer.

Thank you Maximus!

EDIT: but this new System Information window is horrible for me. I stay with the ancient 2.23 version for now. Can be - a matter of taste .. but I also find it impractical: this requires me to click 3 times ..
This is the first time I'm disagree with new Process Hacker version, Sorry.

I would put two points for w32 - developer of Process Hacker:

1: I see that from version v2.23 (so 2.23, 2.24) in the processhacker.exe - you have reduced the GDI Handles (now: 118, Before : 122). Thank you!

2: I have a question for wj32: why there is always (in all versions) the large number of Page Faults, and why they increase considerably over time, from one second to the other (50000, 60000 and beyond ..)?
For the process taskmgr.exe from Windows Task Manager - I see Page Faults number of 1007, very stable, which may increase very little with time up to eg. 1014, which is not of greater importance ..

For your information: I'm on Windows XP. And I only use your processhacker.exe file, all the others files from .zip portable package - I put them in the trash with each new version (eg. I don't need kprocesshacker.sys driver personally, or plugins, sorry). Or Services tab, never look into it. So for now I stay with v2.23. Would it be a sin?:dodgy:

EDIT: Yes, I want to post my question for wj32 in Process Hacker forum .. Maximus, sorry for this misunderstanding, I have corrected point 2.

Why are you asking me or this forum question you need to ask them? Process Hacker is more accurate then Windows Task manager .Any further questions ask in there forum.

I am a bit confused at the previous post.

Using now Process Hacker 2.24 and I actually like it! @Maximus, is this what you use?

 

[Jack]

Used it before but I have to admit that I've start using and liking Killswitch from COMODO but this is also a good program. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date.

 

[Plexx]

Wasn't Killswitch based on Process Hacker or they have redesigned Killswitch?

Up until now I was using the default Task manager since I didn't really use CCE that often.

 

[Dieselman]

I've been using Process Hacker for many years. I love it. Process Explorer was the first alternative to Windows Task Manager till Process Hacker came out. Think of Process Hacker like Windows Task Manager only on steroids. Yes Comodo copied Process Hacker and renamed it KillSwitch. LOl

Yes (but have a drama for this too), btw Killswitch have some features PH don't have.

Before yes but not anymore (that's what comodo says).

The first introduction of Killswitch was based on Process Hacker. The new version is not based on Process Hacker.

 

[Dieselman]

There still is a lot of similarities. I actually see some references to System Explorer in there.

 

[jamescv7]

I'm using Killswitch that was based in PH for the past weeks and must to say its good. I know the new version brought more changes and will use it once its official.

I'm not an expert but I think those are soft page faults - they don't impact performance. As opposed to hard page faults that impact performance because the OS needs to locate a copy of the desired page on the page file, and copy it from disk into RAM. I think a hard page fault would increase the Disk Read counter as well. More info: here.

Thank you Bogdan, after your enlightening post I do not need to bother wj32 ..
