Small, free desktop tools for Windows. No accounts, no telemetry.
A resource monitor that tells you what svchost.exe
is actually doing. Task Manager shows you fifteen identical rows; ProcLens names the
service inside each one, and on machines that share a host it breaks the CPU down
per service.
ProcLens needs to run as administrator — ETW network tracing and reading other users' processes both require it. The installer fetches the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime automatically if your machine doesn't have it.
The download is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will warn you.
Choose More info → Run anyway. If that's not a
trade you want to make, that's a completely reasonable call.
Compact desktop weather overlay. Live NEXRAD radar, current conditions, severe-weather alerts and a clock — sits on your desktop, no account needed.
