Process Explorer is a system monitoring software designed by Microsoft Corporation. This is an official tool that helps users check currently running processes and analyse the overall performance of their computers.
Visualisation
Users can launch customizable charts with detailed overview about each running process. It is possible to access app IDs, CPU and memory consumption, account permissions and other important information. These reports may be quite helpful to understand if the computer is performing properly and detect suspicious activities.
The program supports a hierarchical view of apps and games giving you insights on how certain processes are related to each other. You can monitor how key hardware components interact during gaming or quiet mode. On top of that, it is possible to identify which activity consumes most of the system resources while it is running in the background.
Protection

During monitoring, you are able to check each process and see what kind of suspicious components they may contain.
