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!

      Their initial offerings (AV) were fine, but then there was just absolute stagnation and they had no idea what to do with themselves so they created solutions to problems that really didn't exist, convinced users they did but then realised nobody was buying into it, so bundled their bloated crap with OEM builds. Arguably, the whole AV market got a bad name with end consumers for a period because of companies such as Norton.
    • Windows Server 2025 security baseline to get more frequent updates, streamlines settings

      By zikalify · Posted

      Windows Server 2025 security baseline to get more frequent updates, streamlines settings by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced the release of the June 2025 revision of its security baseline package for Windows Server 2025 (v2506), it is now available to download from the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit. After downloading it, you can test the recommended configurations in your environment and customize or implement them as you see fit. To deal with the evolving threat landscape, new Windows features, and community feedback, Microsoft is planning to revise the Windows Server baseline more frequently in the future. Windows Server security baselines are a collection of Microsoft-recommended configuration settings that help administrators establish secure and consistent Windows Server environments. This is the first security baseline update for Windows Server 2025 since January, a summary of the changes is presented in this table: Security Policy Change Summary Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services Allow remote logon for non-admin local accounts on MS and add “BUILTIN\Guests” to both DC and MS. WDigest Authentication Remove from the baseline Allow Windows Ink Workspace Remove from the baseline Audit Authorization Policy Change Set to “Success” in both DC and MS Include command line in process creation events Enable in both DC and MS Control whether exclusions are visible to local users Moved to Not Configured as it is overridden by the parent setting. Of these changes, the removal of WDigest Authentication and the addition of Include command line in process creation events are significant. Microsoft said it removed WDigest Authentication from the security baseline because it is no longer necessary for Windows Server 2025. The policy was originally enforced so that WDigest couldn’t store plaintext passwords in memory, which was a significant theft risk. Since the 24H2 update in Windows Server 2022, the policy has been deprecated, so there’s no need to enforce this setting. The update also adds Include command line in process creation events to improve the visibility of how processes are executed across the system. By capturing the command-line arguments, it makes it easier to detect and investigate malicious activity that may otherwise seem legitimate. If you want to learn more about the other changes in a bit more depth, refer to Microsoft’s announcement of this security baseline update.
