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! 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!

    • “Ask Photos” is coming to more Google Photos users in the US

      By zikalify · Posted

      “Ask Photos” is coming to more Google Photos users in the US by Paul Hill Google has announced several improvements to a Gemini-powered Google Photos feature called Ask Photos. The feature launched last year in early access and it was great for longer search requests, however, when users typed “Dog” or “Beach” looking for those types of pictures, Ask Photos underperformed. Now, Google has addressed this and is bringing the feature to more eligible users in the United States. The search giant said that users enjoyed asking queries such as “suggest photos that’d make great phone backgrounds” or “what did I eat on my trip to Barcelona?” and getting Gemini-powered responses to these complex questions. Unfortunately, simple searches like “beach” or “dogs” were generating less than optimal results and people complained. To remedy the situation, Google has brought the best of Google Photos’ classic search feature to Ask Photos to improve latency. Easy, short requests will be dealt with by the old search mechanism and when you ask complex queries, it will switch over to the Gemini-powered search results. Now that Google has addressed this main issue of simple searches by integrated functionality from the previous search model, the company feels more confident to open up beyond early access and deliver it to more users in the United States. To be eligible, you must be 18+, be in the US, have your Google Account language set to English (United States), and have Face Groups turned on. This feature is only available on Android and iOS. To start using it, open Google Photos and tap on Ask at the bottom, then press Try now and agree to the terms. If you do not see the Ask button, it means you’re not yet eligible. The feature also can’t be used on computers yet. Hopefully, Google will quickly expand this feature outside the US so that international users can try it out too.

      When are MS going to learn. Traditional home users who email, watch cat videos and perform basic tasks don't care if W11 is slightly faster...assuming it's true. Few home users care about faster speed and more secure claims.

    • Microsoft shares detailed performance benchmarks for Windows 11 vs 10 to show the faster PC

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft shares detailed performance benchmarks for Windows 11 vs 10 to show the faster PC by Sayan Sen In the past, Microsoft has always made big claims regarding Windows 11 performance and how it is faster and better than Windows 10. For example, back in 2021, the company stated how the former was designed to get the best out of your system hardware. Later in 2023, Microsoft shared detailed Windows 11 performance improvements and upgrades it achieved on the new OS. While the claims were not substantiated with data, they were certainly quite interesting. Then, in 2024, Microsoft highlighted the differences in performance, citing a paid study, to show Windows 11 was way faster. As with most commissioned studies, the data was not represented fairly. This week, Microsoft has shared new numbers based on its December 2024 testing in a new support document. Here are the performance claims Microsoft made: Top Windows 11 PCs have up to 2.7 more hours of battery life than Windows 10 PCs Windows 11 PCs are up to 2.3x faster than Windows 10 PCs Windows 11 PCs offer up to 3.2x faster web browsing than Windows 10 PCs Windows 11 PCs offer up to 2x faster Microsoft Office productivity than Windows 10 PCs Thus, if you ask Microsoft, it will say that Windows 11 is better than Windows 10 in everything there is, be it web browsing, Office use, battery life, and overall performance in general. The company notes that the results are "based on a 95% confidence interval" for each OS across multiple tests. Microsoft also accounted for outliers. To reach such numbers, Microsoft used the following test metrics: For battery life, a local 1080p 24 fps MP4 video file playback was tested till 90% battery discharge on the Windows Media Player app. During the test, all settings were default except that screen brightness was set to 150 nits and Auto-brightness was disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. For the "2.3x faster" claim, Geekbench 6 results have been cited. For web browsing, Speedometer was used, though Microsoft does not mention the version. And finally, for Office, Procyon Office productivity was used. Interestingly, Microsoft only used Intel CPUs (the company also recently recommended Intel chips for Windows 11 Pro PCs). The company has played it a smarter this time as it has "tested performance, battery life and application capabilities of a selection of Windows 11 PCs in comparison to a selection of Windows 10 PCs", where the Windows 10 PCs feature Intel Core 6th, 8th, and 10th gen chips and Windows 11 PCs pack Intel Core 12th and 13th gen. Thus, this is Microsoft essentially acknowledging that the underlying hardware itself actually plays a big role in the claims it has made. But to be fair to the company, there is also no way to run Windows 11, at least officially, on unsupported PCs, such that a direct comparison can be made. You can find the support document with full battery results in this article here on Microsoft's website.
    • Certificates for one of Windows 11's hardware requirements expire soon, here is what to know

      So, do nothing basically, as long as you deploy Windows Updates? Pretty much yeah. Some Linux distros distribute update the secureboot certs as well, assuming you do use SecureBoot.
