Show HN: Appstat – Process Monitor for Windows

  • procmon and process explorer from sysinternals are really good. and there is performance counters.

  • Nice job! I love the clean interface. Is this written in C#?

  • I usually lean on Resource Monitor when I need this kind of info, but it's clunky - so this looks useful!

  • Looks great. Thanks. One thing, maybe make it clear that it's free? I went looking for pricing especially when I saw the support link at the top.

  • So, yeah: I installed this, and was impressed, just because it's an .appx package. I mean, how do you even create those?

    Other than that: it did not immediately crypto-lock my laptop and/or ramp up my GPU mining Führercoins, so that was good too.

    Other than that: I did not really see any metrics worth of attention, so I uninstalled the app again, which seemed to work fine as well.

    Thrilling stuff, I know...

  • Looks interesting, thanks! Another one I like that hasn't been mentioned elsewhere in this thread is Process Hacker.

  • Off-topic: Is it possible to tell your InterroBot how many levels (or degrees) of outlinks to follow?

  • This looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for offering this for free! it looks great-

    why are you distributing this as a .msixbundle? Ive never seen that before (perhaps im un-informed though), As I don't have the Microsoft store I was expecting a .exe (and it appears to install a .msixbundle app via powershell ill need to first install the windows app sdk as well - win11). Is this intended? thanks

  • what would be nice is some utility that just halts any useless process

  • For advanced end users? why would they ditch: https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/ ?

  • > Native WinUI–fast startup, light operation

    Did anyone notice the Windows Calc app became quite slow to startup recently? It takes 2+ seconds to transform from the empty window with a calc icon to the actual calculator UI.

    I should get Win7 calc.

  • What is the best, GUI, process monitor for Linux?

  • As an alternative, I use the free community-edition netdata -- love it at my job, and it works right out of the box on my personal windows and linux machines.

    https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing/

    (don't let the `.cloud` scare you off, they have a 100% free and functional local-only install)

    It's insanely powerful and with some configuration can persist the metrics in a local database.
