System Informer
System Informer is a versatile system management tool designed to seamlessly monitor and analyze system resources, troubleshoot software issues, and identify potential malware threats. Offers system activity overviews, intuitive graphs, real-time statistics, active network connection monitoring, detailed disk access information, intricate stack trace analysis, and much more. evily2k describes it "like process explorer on steroids. Allows me to kill process that task manager would say access denied."

I recently added -allow_third_party_software to my csgo game to use nvidia game filters to make my game look better and ever since i have had this weird icon on the top left of my screen, how do i get rid of it?
(VAC use to prevent you from playing with the below method, however it has since been removed from the support, but you should still use -insecure for the below method) You can also try using process hacker/system informer (github link) it's similar to task manager however right click on csgo.exe click properties and click on the the windows tab. From there you can view which library or process created a window.

FACEIT Anti-cheat - Secure boot requirement update!
This is not a false positive, there are security exploits in Process Hacker that are exploited by some cheats. I would suggest upgrading to the new version which is now called System Informer, where these issues are fixed. https://github.com/winsiderss/systeminformer

Anvir Task manager doubts
I've had it for well over a year and haven't noticed any ill effects. I find it handy for reporting when something has been added to startup or context menu etc, but I've never ran it "full time" as a task manager replacement. (Though for that purpose, I recently came across an app called System Informer that I like - https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/)
- Unable to figure out where CPU usage is from, ProcMon/ProcExp/Task Manager don't show it

MS and Windows gets a lot of (well deserved) hate, but winget is just fantastic!
Take dropbox as an example. This is what the yaml manifest looks like for that if you install it through winget. It literally has a hardcoded link to an .exe installer hosted by dropbox and then just set the flags to silent. I am not spreading misinformation, you are.

Windows is the malware compatibility layer for everything
It's not quite the same though, as there are different considerations when using a repository of things a unified group has decided should be included and built (or slightly modified existing) packages for and a repo where anyone can submit a package that will go through some level of vetting. In the end I still believe most this discussion is really about individuals and how much trust they apply towards different groups and sources and is not really about Linux or Windows in particular as much.

Seven.zip
I think that's part of the problem, if you don't have that package manager to bootstrap your signature key ring, DNS is your next best bootstrap. It is, of course, a terrible bootstrap for trust, but it is one so many users on Windows have been relying on for such a long time.
For power users on any modern Windows 10/Windows 11 there is at least WinGet now. Its manifests repo is becoming a very interesting (open) source of truth for common Windows applications. Admittedly, it in most cases doesn't seem to be checking specific code signatures in most cases either, but at least includes SHA checksums.
For instance, 7zip's manifests: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifes...
It's too bad there's still not a great option for "average user that doesn't know/trust how to use a CLI", given how sadly polluted the Microsoft Store can be for many common, especially Open Source, applications. For direct instance, because winget kindly includes Microsoft Store results when searching, there is a "7zip 22" in the Microsoft Store that costs some amount of money (winget details say "PaidUnknownPrice" for the pricing information; I'm on a corporate machine right now with the actual Store access locked so can't search in the actual Store right now) and the Publisher is listed as RepackagerExpress.com. (That website currently doesn't go anywhere, giving it a spot check.)
Having seen this, I may boot up my personal machine and try to report this specific Store listing for violating the Store's Open Source policies, though I'm unsure if such whackamole is all that useful. (Seems like it might be a useful winget feature request for it to provide Store Report URLs.)
