Task Explorer v1.5.6
 

TaskExplorer v1.5.6 Released 22.09.2024

Changes

• In the latest release, version 1.5.6, several key updates and changes were made to improve overall functionality and performance. One of the notable adjustments is that Task Explorer (TE) no longer lists mounted VHD/VHDX files as disks, focusing solely on real hardware. This change aims to streamline disk management and ensure the system resources are utilized more efficiently by disregarding virtual drives. Additionally, the PHlib library has been updated to version 3.1.24258, continuing the effort to maintain compatibility with the latest technology and ensuring smooth operation.

but why? ;)

anyone tried to build TaskExplorer from sources?
seems mission impossible & total mess in the repo...
missed code
missed types...
WTF

Maybe we should ask those questions by creating a new issue on the repo.

2025:cool:

Because preparing for getting the driver signed as was don starting with 1.6.0

You only need VS 2022 latest Qt5 and you can build it, though there is a certain order to it
first /ProcessHacker/tools/thirdparty/thirdparty.sln
then /ProcessHacker/SystemInformer.sln
and finally /TaskExplorer+Libs.sln

This looks like a really impressive project. I've been using Process Hacker for a while, and seeing a tool that builds on its library while focusing on the "what is it doing" aspect is very refreshing. The Thread Panel with stack traces and the Memory Panel with string search are exactly the kind of features that make debugging and reverse engineering much more efficient.

I'm particularly interested in the .NET panel and the Modules Panel with DLL injection/unloading. I often work with .NET assemblies protected by Reactor or ConfuserEx, and being able to quickly inspect loaded modules and memory regions would be very helpful when analyzing runtime behavior.

The fact that it's built with Qt and planned to be ported to Linux is also great news—there's definitely a gap for a proper advanced task manager on that platform.

I'll download it and give it a try on my current projects. Thanks for sharing this with the community, and I'll report back if I come across any edge cases or have feature suggestions.

One quick question: does the .NET panel currently support inspecting assemblies that are loaded dynamically (e.g., via Assembly.Load from a byte array), or does it rely on the module being on disk?
