tasklist

Tasklist is a command-line tool used in Windows operating systems to display a list of currently running processes. It allows users to view information such as the process name, process ID (PID), session name, session number, memory usage, and more.

By default, tasklist displays the processes running on the local machine, but it can also be used to get information about processes on remote computers by specifying the computer name.

Users can filter the displayed results using various parameters like process name, process ID, username, memory usage, CPU time, and much more. This makes it easier to find specific processes or sort them based on specific criteria.

Tasklist provides useful information for troubleshooting or monitoring purposes, as it shows the resource usage of each process and can help identify any high-resource-consuming or problematic processes.

It is often used in combination with other command-line tools like taskkill, which allows users to terminate processes based on specific criteria.

Overall, tasklist is a powerful and handy command-line tool for managing and analyzing processes within the Windows environment.
