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.

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!

    • Steam games now detail what accessibility features they offer on store pages

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam games now detail what accessibility features they offer on store pages by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has pushed a new update for its Steam platform, and it's fully focused on accessibility. The latest change makes it both easier for developers to show what accessibility options they offer within their games and for players to find options they require to enjoy titles. "This update comes after gathering valuable feedback from developers as well as players with disabilities," says Valve in the announcement blog post. "Over 5,000 applications have added details about their accessibility support, with more developers updating their games each day." Here are the options currently offered by Valve: Gameplay: Adjustable Difficulty: Players can adjust gameplay difficulty. Save Anytime: Players can save gameplay using both automatic and manual saves. Saving can be performed at any point in the game. Audio: Custom Volume Controls: Players can adjust the volume of the audio. Different types of audio can be muted independently from each other. Narrated Game Menus: Players can listen to game menus with narrated audio. Stereo Sound: Players can identify how far to the left or right sounds are coming from. Surround Sound: Players can identify how far in any direction sounds are coming from. Visual: Adjustable Text Size: Players can adjust text size. (In-game text, menu text, character dialog text, subtitle text) Subtitle Options: Players have options to customize the display of subtitles for all spoken content and essential audio information. Color Alternatives: Gameplay doesn't rely on colors to communicate important information, or players have an option to adjust colors used for distinguishing information. Camera Comfort: Players have an option to adjust or disable uncomfortable camera movement such as screen shaking, camera bob, or motion blur, or the game doesn't feature these effects. Input: Keyboard Only Option: Players can play the game with just a keyboard and no other additional input mechanisms such as a mouse or controller. Mouse Only Option: Players can play the game with just a mouse and no other additional input mechanisms such as a keyboard or controller. Touch Only Option: Players can play the game with just touch controls and no other additional input mechanisms such as a mouse, keyboard or controller. Playable without Timed Input: Players have an option to adjust gameplay to not require precisely timed button presses ("quick time events") or gameplay does not require such button presses. Text-to-speech: Text chat can be narrated out loud in real time. Speech-to-text communications: Voice chat can be read as a text transcript in real time. These can be found when searching in the filters as well as inside games' store pages in the features section on the right side, as seen in the screenshot above. While developers are not required to mention accessibility options of their games on store pages, Valve says it is highly recommended to make sure players that require it can find relevant games more easily. "We've worked to make it as easy as possible for developers to indicate these features are available by using feedback to standardize these options as much as possible," added the company.

    • As Total War turns 25, Creative Assembly is teasing a "new era" for the strategy franchise

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      As Total War turns 25, Creative Assembly is teasing a "new era" for the strategy franchise by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Creative Assembly has now officially been making Total War games for 25 years. It was in June 2000 that the UK-based studio put forth Shogun: Total War for PC, with Electronic Arts publishing the ambitious project. With a quarter of a century now behind the series, the developer is now looking towards the "next era" of Total War. The studio will host its first-ever Total War showcase in December 2025, which is described as a "flagship video presentation unveiling what’s next for the franchise." Creative Assembly said that the showcase will have announcements for new games as well as content for existing titles, with developer commentary also happening regarding the future of the series. "We’re honoured and humbled to be one of the few video games that get the chance to celebrate such a huge milestone, and we want to thank colleagues past and present, as well as our fans for all the support," says Total War vice president Roger Collum. "2025 marks an exciting new era for the franchise as we reveal what’s next for Total War, and we can’t wait to celebrate throughout the year with everyone." Read an anniversary letter from Roger Collum regarding the studio's history, Total War beginnings, and more over here. Prior to the showcase, Creative Assembly will be hosting retrospective video interviews, developer livestreams, and more behind-the-scenes content regarding the series starting this August. There will also be multiplayer tournaments for fans, giveaways, Q&A sessions with developers, mod spotlights, and more events happening during this period. As the studio celebrates the occasion, a massive Total War historical games sale has just gone live on Steam. This has discounts of up to 75% across everything from the original Shogun: Total War to the latest entry, Total War: PHARAOH. The discounts will last until June 26.

      ANY standard Windows PC, either desktop or laptop, can install the Copilot app, period, no NPU or Copilot+ certification required. I should know, I have it running on a 3770K (2011) Windows 11 PC and works perfectly fine. So, your laptop can definitely run it, too.
