HandleFilters

With the help of HandleFilters you can examine and unload system handles, as well as filter them by various criteria. This is a simple-to-use software application that doesn't feature complicated options, making it accessible to all user levels.

No-install application

Since this a portable product, you can drop the program files anywhere on the hard drive and click the .exe to immediately launch HandleFilters. Another option is to save it to a removable storage unit to directly run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers. Plus, it doesn't add new entries to the Windows registry, so it doesn't increase the risk of OS stability issues.

View and unload system handles

Made from a large window with a well-structured layout, the interface is user-friendly. It shows the name, type, process, flags, access attributes, and address for each detected handle.
You can filter handles by name, filter them by type or process, refresh information, unload handles, copy SBI rules to the Clipboard, enable debugging privileges, as well as view only named handles.

Evaluation and conclusion

The application worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. It had a good response time and minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.
On the other hand, its set of options is limited. We must also take into consideration the fact that HandleFilters hasn't been updated for a long tine. However, you can test it for yourself, since it's free.
