if you could add "GPU" to the processes tab your app would have more functionality than the windows 8 task manager, which would be awesome if you could show gpu utilisation and gpu memory utilisation like you can with cpu.

Dear Hanrui,

 

thanks for the great work. On Windows Server 2008 R2 there are some issues, the links to Ressource Monitor / Fewer Details / More Details are disappearing on mouseover (text color changes to white). There are no Icons for More and Fewer Details - see attachment.

 

How can I provide translations for other languages so you could add them to your program?

Hanrui,

 

I signed up to say thanks for this, and also to post a bug ...

 

As you can see, DBCTaskMan is incorrectly reporting Memory Available, Committed and Cached.

Otherwise, this seems to be a very nice replica of the Windows 8 Task Manager.  Nicely done and many thanks.

Am I the only one who is annoyed by the new processes tab in Windows 8? I can never find ****. I just click on details.

No, you are not alone. I find it annoying as well, I keep looking in the processes tab even though I know I should be looking into details tab.

OOOOO, very nice! This is one of the few things that makes me want to use win8: new task manager and new file explorer.

 

Yeah the feature I love most in Windows 8 is being able to drag and drop files and folders into the breadcrumbs in the address bar. Really nice addition that I miss when having to use older versions of Windows. Such a tiny feature but so helpful!

first of all i just wanna thanks for this wonderful application aside from its awesome look i find it very useful. I just signed up to say thanks and also ask for some dumb help .. :D

 

i wanted this application to start up everytime windows loads and i want the application to open the performance task automatically.

 

What i was trying to do is make it my default monitoring widget and eliminate other widgets that i have.

 

thank you so much.

The program crashes as soon as i go to the Performance tab..

 

Version: October 10, 2013

Error: "Whoops" 

Debug: Unhandled exception at 0x000000013fa49215 in DBCTaskman.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000100000159.

 

I'm running Windows 7 x64 Pro (English) SP1 fully updated. 

I'm running the x64 version of the program.

Thank you so much! Without this i wouldn't be able to use my current windows installation, long story short, installed virus that killed taskmanager and explorer.exe, managed to open chrome to download this and locate and kill the process that killed taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe. Love u for that, will save this tool on my external drive for future use, just in case xD <3

I read on another site that you can't even use end task to kill a process. If this is true, is the program even usable? How do you close a program using this program? It looks nice, but is it functional? I don't have Win 8 yet. Still using 7, but I like the look of this as a task manager. Let me know. Thanks!

    • Surface Copilot+ PCs coming to classrooms from July 22, turbocharged with on-device AI

      By zikalify · Posted

      Surface Copilot+ PCs coming to classrooms from July 22, turbocharged with on-device AI by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that it’s launching the new Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch models specifically for education customers from July 22. The Redmond giant said that these devices are being launched as a direct response to feedback from educators who want practicality and ease of use in their diverse classrooms. These are both Copilot+ PCs so teachers and students will be able to leverage the latest AI features thanks to the dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that allow for on-device AI. The on-device AI, aside from delivering well-known features like Recall, will enable new education features such as a new app Microsoft is working on called Microsoft Learning Zone. Microsoft Learning Zone will allow teachers to create personalized lessons by adapting content from trusted sources like OpenStax, generating interactive games with Kahoot, and tracking students progress. Microsoft expects this to help teachers save time and deliver a more flexible and engaging classroom. Another AI feature that will be available is Click to Do. This lets students highlight text or images and get contextual help. It can be used to summarize a paragraph or explain a graph. To activate it, students can press the Windows key and click. This feature runs entirely on device so inputs to the AI are secure and you don’t need to ever worry about third-parties seeing. Finally, these devices will also have accessibility features such as Voice Access which lets you navigate with speech and Live Captions which provide real-time subtitles and translations for spoken content. These make the devices more inclusive for students with disabilities. Regarding security, these laptops come with the Microsoft Pluton security chip directly integrated into the processor for protecting sensitive data. It can protect data such as passwords and sign-ins, even if your device is stolen. Thanks to automatic Windows Updates, schools never need to worry about falling behind on updates either. With the impending demise of Windows 10 in mid-October, these Surface devices arrive just in time for schools looking for somewhere to upgrade to. Aside from AI features and security, Microsoft is also pushing other key features including easy repair with replacement components at the Microsoft Store and iFixit, their lightweight design and all-day battery life making them ideal for carrying and surviving the school day, and their compatibility with popular education apps such as TestNav, Google Classroom, Minecraft Education, and Adobe Express.

      Taras Buria, do you think you could write more about Windows Vista? It is always such a pleasure — quite a pleasure — to see it mentioned in the title of a news article. What about an editorial?
