plugins-extra VS processhacker

Or Process Hacker (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/) which IMO is even better.

I can use Process Hacker and run "Reduce working set" on it, which makes explorer.exe instantly go down to ~100MB. However, it just starts leaking RAM again and it's a matter of hours until it grows back to several GB.

I can't have a task manager style tool installed? It's completely safe and does NOTHING in terms of cheating, no other game has ever flagged it as false positive. Is this AC so bad that it sees the word "h4Ck3R" and thinks it needs to be removed? What else is this thing needlessly scanning my computer for?

you need Process Hacker

You mean this? https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/

http://www.lucashale.com/timer-resolution/ set to maximum https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ Set valheim.exe priority to high and save it.

If you are on the latest BIOS, the next thing I'd be looking at is something that's hitting I/O, either use Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ or task manager to try and catch the process causing the problem.

Please use a decent task manager like Process hacker or Task manager deluxe, the Windows one is kinda lacking functionality.

You can also use tools like Simplewall, Wireshark, Sandboxie /Cuckoo Sandbox, Process Explorer/Process Hacker to help you with this analyze and also to protect you system and data.

Interesting project, nice use of the egui crate. I usually write this kind of thing in C, might be a good time to RIIR. I personally prefer the windows crate because it is official and generated directly from the API metadata. FYI Process Hacker can do DLL injection and a lot more, in case you're looking for a powerful tool

I downloaded Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/

Other application that was useful for me in similar situation was Process Hacker: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/

I would like to use the WinStationShadow function in my small project. I would like to write a console RDP shadow switch utility. I found the Process Hacker use this function. See: https://github.com/processhacker/processhacker/blob/master/ProcessHacker/sessshad.c (at line 215)

Could be some pre-installed bloatware. Process Hacker, which is a beefed-up Task Manager, helped me isolate needless services and processes that were clogging up my CPU. It made a noticeable difference once I pruned out the detritus, plus it has a feature to always launch noita.exe with High CPU priority.
