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.

I said this on the front page artical.. Real men use Process Explorer!

 

real, real men use process hacker, because it has a handy service manager.

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!

    • Direct messaging is finally making its way to Threads by David Uzondu Meta has announced it will finally begin testing direct messages on Threads, claiming that it was a "top request" since the platform's big splash in July 2023. This has been a massive pain point for users. For nearly a year, attempting to have a private conversation meant awkwardly fumbling over to a linked Instagram account, which for some people, completely killed the experience of actually using the app. Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri acknowledged this, stating "we know how important messaging is" to the platform's mission. It makes sense; a social network without a private messaging feature feels incomplete, especially when it is trying to supplant X. The initial test for this overdue feature is now rolling out to a limited number of people in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina, with a wider release planned for later. For serious users and creators who hate having to send people to other apps like Instagram for DMs, this is fantastic news. For others, it's just one more inbox to check. Users included in the test will spot a new envelope icon on the main navigation bar, located at the bottom on mobile and on the left-side menu on the desktop site. The company, in typical fashion, has not offered a concrete timeline on when everyone else gets access, only saying it will expand "soon". In related news, Threads recently migrated its web presence from the old threads.net address to the much cleaner threads.com domain. That old domain was a leftover from the launch because Meta did not actually own the .com version, which was later scooped up. This change came alongside a cluster of other improvements to the web app, including a pop-up post composer that follows you as you scroll and provides easier access to your saved and liked posts.

    • Several UI improvements masquerading as a major update. I'm truly hating this trend.
    • OpenAI to use Google Cloud despite rivalry, diversifying beyond Microsoft by Paul Hill To help it meet its massive computing demands for training and deploying AI models, OpenAI is looking into a surprising partnership with Google Cloud to use its services. It was widely seen that OpenAI was Google’s biggest threat, but this deal puts an end to the idea that the pair are purely competing. The two companies haven’t made any public announcement about the deal but a source speaking to Reuters claimed that talks had been ongoing for a few months before a deal was finalized in May. Notably, such a deal would see OpenAI expand its compute sources beyond Microsoft Azure. Microsoft had arrangements in place with OpenAI since 2019 that gave it the exclusive right to build new computing infrastructure for the startup. This limitation was loosened earlier this year with the announcement of Project Stargate. OpenAI is now allowed to look elsewhere for compute if Microsoft is unable to meet the demand. A win for Google Cloud, a challenge for Google's AI strategy The deal will see Google Cloud supply computing capacity for OpenAI’s AI model training and inference. This is a big win for Google’s Cloud unit because OpenAI is a massive name in AI and it lends credence to Google’s cloud offering. It also justifies Google Cloud’s expansion of its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for external use. On the back of the news, Alphabet’s stock price rose 2.1%, while Microsoft’s sank 0.6%, showing investors think it’s a good move for Google too. While many end users don’t interact with Google Cloud the same way they do with something like Android or Chrome, Cloud is actually a huge part of Google’s business. In 2024, it comprised $43 billion (12%) of Alphabet’s total revenue. With OpenAI as a customer, this figure could rise even more given the massive amounts of compute OpenAI needs. By leveraging Google’s services, it will also give OpenAI access to the search giant’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). Unlike GPUs, these chips are specifically designed to handle the kinds of calculations that are most common in AI and machine learning, leading to greater efficiency. Google’s expansion of these chips to external customers has already helped it attract business from Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence. While Google will happily take OpenAI’s money, it needs to tread carefully giving compute power to a rival, which will only make OpenAI more of a threat to Google’s search business. Specifically, it’ll need to manage how resources are allocated between Google’s own AI projects and its cloud customers. Another issue is that Google has been struggling to keep up with the overall demand for cloud computing, even with its own TPUs, according to its Chief Financial Officer in April. By giving access to OpenAI, it means even more pressure. Hopefully, this will be short lived as companies compete to build out capacity to attract customers. OpenAI's push for compute independence Back in 2019 when Microsoft became OpenAI’s exclusive cloud partner in exchange for $1 billion, the AI landscape was much different. End users wouldn’t have access to ChatGPT for another 3 years and the rate of development of new models was less ferocious than it is today. As OpenAI’s compute needs evolve, its relationship with Microsoft has had to evolve too, including this deal with Google and the Stargate infrastructure program. Reuters said that OpenAI’s annualized run rate (the amount they’ll earn in one year at its current pace) had surged to $10 billion, which highlights its explosive growth and need for more resources than Microsoft alone can offer. To make itself more independent, OpenAI has also signed deals worth billions of dollars with CoreWeave, another cloud compute provider, and it is nearing the finalization of the design of its first in-house chip, which could reduce its dependency on external hardware providers altogether.
