Fabulous PC monitoring tools Process Hacker and Process Hacker Portable have been updated to version 2.35 with some welcome extras and enhancements.

One major addition is support for viewing the load time and load reasons for process modules, on Windows 8 and above. If a long-running process like Explorer.exe is developing problems, you can now sort its modules by load time to get clues about the cause.

Priority and I/O priority can be set for multiple processes at once, while I/O priorities may be saved as required.

Right-clicking a service now provides menu options to open its key in Regedit, or open its file location in Explorer.

There’s new support for checking process use of Control Flow Guard, Microsoft’s new exploit mitigation technology for Windows 8.1 and 10.

You’ll get handle names for job and section objects, while the very brave can directly access section objects in memory (double-click a process, select Handles, right-click a section, select Read/ Write Memory).

Elsewhere there’s new highlighting for AppContainer DLLs, disk and network graphs are now available for all processes, there’s support for setting thread/ process affinity on up to 64 processors, and the ExtendedTools and UserNotes plugins have both seen updates.

Process Hacker and Process Hacker Portable are available now for Windows XP and later.
