About

Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such as session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more. Its uniquely powerful features will make Process Monitor a core utility in your system troubleshooting and malware hunting toolkit.

Process Monitor includes powerful monitoring and filtering capabilities, including:

- More data captured for operation input and output parameters

- Non-destructive filters allow you to set filters without losing data

- Capture of thread stacks for each operation make it possible in many cases to identify the root cause of an operation

- Reliable capture of process details, including image path, command line, user and session ID

- Configurable and moveable columns for any event property

- Filters can be set for any data field, including fields not configured as columns

- Advanced logging architecture scales to tens of millions of captured events and gigabytes of log data

- Process tree tool shows relationship of all processes referenced in a trace

- Native log format preserves all data for loading in a different Process Monitor instance

- Process tooltip for easy viewing of process image information

- Detail tooltip allows convenient access to formatted data that doesn't fit in the column

- Cancellable search

- Boot time logging of all operations
