Process Viewer

Process Viewer is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you monitor all running processes, drivers and services.

Portable running mode

Thanks to its portability status, Process Viewer can be run by simply opening the executable file (there’s no setup included in the process). In addition, you can store it on portable media devices and carry it with you.
What’s more, it does not leave traces in your Windows registry so you can get rid of it by deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

Simple looks

The utility employs a multi-tabbed environment for allowing easy switching between the main monitoring options, namely processes, drivers and services.

Get details about running processes

Process Viewer offers you the possibility to check out at-a-glance details about the name, PID, CPU time and memory usage of each running process.
In addition, the tool shows thorough information about each process, such as general data (e.g. version number, name of the product and company, PID, Parent PID), performance (CPU time, I/O counters, virtual memory counters), modules, threads, handles, security, and child processes.

Driver and service info

The application is also able to reveal details about all drivers detected on your system (name, base address, location) and services (display name, status, and startup type). What’s more, you are allowed to refresh the information, kill the selected process, as well as start, stop, pause, or resume services.

Bottom line

All things considered, Process Viewer reveals detailed information about processes, drivers and services, and is suitable for beginners and professionals alike. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a long time, so you can make use of its capabilities especially if you are the owner of an old operating system.
