System Explorer is a powerful system monitor that allows you to have in-depth information about your system performance. You can use this tool to know the status of tasks, processes, opened files, services, drivers, etc., currently running or open on your system. The program can be configured to replace Windows' standard Task Manager, which might be very helpful to you, especially if you are an advanced user.

The program's user interface can be toggled between two modes - Explorer and Task Manager. The Task Manager mode offers you a horizontal tabbed view where you can select the sections of your system whose information you would like to see. By default, the included sections in this mode are Tasks, Processes, Performance, and History. The Explorer mode, on the other hand, provides you with access to all the sections included in the program, listed on a vertical panel. Therefore, I would say that this is the mode that I find more appropriate for advanced users and system administrators.

Besides monitoring and managing your tasks, processes, and open files, you can also use System Explorer to display statistics about your system resources usage and your network bandwidth usage. For example, you can use this program to know the relationships among your running processes, or to know what files are currently opened and what processes opened them. The program also keeps a detailed history of all your system's activities, so that you can know the exact time at which a new process was created or a new TCP/IP connection opened. more

Love this program over Microsoft's cludge version. Bug Report: System Explorer version 7.1..0.5359 installed. Version via Winget is reported as unknown (and the current version shows as 7.0.0) and reinstall occurs everytime with the command: winget upgrade --all --include-unknown --wait -r. In Control Panel's Uninstall or Change a program screen, under name lists System Explorer 7.0.0 and under the version column shows blank. There was a similar problem with "WinDirStat.WinDirStat" wich was corrected by adding a DisplayVersion entry with accurate version number as data, in the program's registry uninstall section, which I can't seem to find for SystemExplorer. Please Advise here &/or if possible, directly to email.
