Remote Process Explorer is a Windows utility for monitoring and managing processes on local and remote computers in real time. It can stop processes, launch new ones, change process priority, and shut down or restart a remote computer. Process details include process and parent IDs, CPU and memory use, priority, handles, and threads, with running processes displayed as a tree. Computer management tools include groups, on/off status, automatic list refresh, an Add Computers Wizard, and separate accounts for each computer. The maker says remote computers need no additional software because the utility uses built-in operating system functions. It can be downloaded and run on a user's own network without registration. The free Personal License is for non-commercial use on one computer and excludes support and maintenance. The Business License costs 149.95 USD per once for one machine; the Corporate License costs 2999.95 USD per once for unlimited installations within one organization. Paid licenses are perpetual and include one year of updates and support, with optional renewal afterward. Supported systems include Windows 10, Windows 11, and the listed Windows Server releases.
Who it is for
