process diagnostics

Process diagnostics on Windows involves using tools like Sysinternals Process Explorer, Process Monitor, and ProcDump to analyze running processes, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot performance or stability issues. Recent updates from Microsoft, such as the May 2026 Sysinternals refresh, have modernized these utilities to support packaged apps, process trees, and mixed Windows-Linux environments. These free, portable tools are essential for administrators, developers, and incident responders who need deep visibility into process behavior, memory dumps, and system activity.
