Although it might sometimes seem useless and unnecessary, there are times when the Windows task manager is essential for Windows' stability.

System Explorer is a free application that works with Windows. It's dedicated to analyzing and displaying information related to system processes as well as controlling and offering methods for managing each of them.

Just like the one that comes with Windows, this task manager lets you view all running processes and how they're affecting your system performance. It also includes a tab devoted to displaying the system's available resources.

But System Explorer isn't merely limited to matching the features of the Windows task manager; rather, it expands those possibilities to let you view each session's startup processes, Internet Explorer plugins, registered uninstallers, operating system services, and drivers installed on the system.
