Process Explorer by Sysinternals is your friend. It can be set in options to replace the traditional task manager so it'll open with CTRL-SHIFT-ESC. If you run it as Admin there's little it can't do but security restrictions still limit the ability to easily terminate something like Defender. It's much more advanced and even allows you to terminate individual threads of a process. If a program is hung and you're lucky, you can terminate a thread stuck in a loop or bugged out to get it working again without closing the entire application.

I can't tell you how many times I need to thank you, Dave, for providing this integral program, that can kill pesky programs that stick around, even when they've been closed.

That comic is a proper summary of how Task Manager rolls.

I get the file locking paradigm, but I think MS and 3rd parties can make software upgrades easier. Simply put the new files nearby. On startup, if the new files exist, move them into place and then get on with starting up. Windows could swap things around without going back to the BIOS, at most drop back to an executable that swaps stuff around and then resumes operation much as the EFI boot loader starts up. Yesterday I had an update for Photoshop (Beta). An earlier version running prevented the update from progressing.

I'd be curious to have your thoughts on Process Hacker/System Informer - it's what I use nowadays as my Task Manager since it boots up faster and has more power due to their kernel driver.

Nowadays thanks to the modularity of Windows since Version 7 you cannot nuke your whole system anymore. svchost and so on cannot be killed and when you kill explorer or dwm, it will either restart (dwm) or you can start it yourself again (explorer.exe). Even if you would kill winlogon, it wouldn't crash your system, you would just get back into the login screen. The reason is because the kernel itself has fallback rountines and when one routine crashes, the kernel pulls it up again. It was implemented to enable screen driver updates inside of Windows. Because before that updating your screen driver was a gamble, as if something would crash because of the update you couldn't repair it anymore and as you had done a restart, also the old working version of the driver was gone, so no fallback. Nowadays you screen goes blank, but stay turned on, so that if the AMD or NVidia driver don't want to come up again it can revert the update and fall back to the old driver.

I had an extremely under powered xp laptop, I was "shooting myself in the foot intentionally" daily to squeak out a couple extra fps. I got XP down to just a handful of processes, which did gut functionality outside of whatever game I was playing but I would just reboot to bring back the processes and do other things. I wish there was a way to turn off all the safeguards in modern windows, my win98 machine is fun, driver installs can be messy but making it work is part of the fun. It just feels closer to the metal in a way that modern windows and linux don't. Modern windows "just works" most of the time but also doesn't let you experiment or change things when you know what you are doing. And if something DOES break the safeguards get in the way of actually fixing it.

Task manager is my personal assistant for managing Vegas Pro until I decide to spend the time and eat the frustration of learning Davinci Resolve and remap my dedicated keypad remappings for it once I figure out everything I use/need/like/etc for using it efficiently...

OMG, Odd1sOut video intersecting with Dave's Garage, after a solar eclipse and recent earthquake in New Jersey. WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?!?! :D

This cartoon killed me. I saw it first at like 2am and I had to bury my head into a pillow to muffle the laughter after Task Manager pulled out a shotgun.

Just going to say, Dave has written the single most useful windows extension in existence. I honestly use task manager almost daily.

Having the End Task button when right-clicking a window on the task bar is very convenient, cause sometimes apps just refuse to close with the traditional close button. so then i have to kill it on task manager so that it closes, which is annoying. in case you want "EnD Task" option to appear you need to enable the Dev options on Windows 11 and enable the setting for it.

It being Adobe is perfect.
