This alternative to the Windows Task Manager doesn’t require installation and is
available in 32- and 64-bit versions. It shows everything that’s happening on your
PC, in real-time, including running processes, installed services and drivers, network
traffic and disk activity. This updated version improves processor usage and clock
frequency measuring, and adds a new CPU clock indicator. It also displays better on
high-resolution screens and offers a new dark mode.
