Hey HN, I made a Windows process monitor for app developers and advanced end users. I wanted a taskmgr system-level graph view per app. Windows procmon, while capable, has always been tedious to set up (esp. if not used often). That's pretty much the whole idea behind the app--to simplify app-level monitoring, to make it easy. I hope some of you find it useful!
So, yeah: I installed this, and was impressed, just because it's an .appx package. I mean, how do you even create <i>those</i>?<p>Other than that: it did not immediately crypto-lock my laptop and/or ramp up my GPU mining Führercoins, so that was good too.<p>Other than that: I did not really see any metrics worth of attention, so I uninstalled the app again, which seemed to work fine as well.<p>Thrilling stuff, I know...
Thanks for offering this for free! it looks great-<p>why are you distributing this as a .msixbundle? Ive never seen that before (perhaps im un-informed though), As I don't have the Microsoft store I was expecting a .exe (and it appears to install a .msixbundle app via powershell ill need to first install the windows app sdk as well - win11). Is this intended?
thanks
For advanced end users? why would they ditch: <a href="https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/" rel="nofollow">https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/</a> ?
> Native WinUI–fast startup, light operation<p>Did anyone notice the Windows Calc app became quite slow to startup recently? It takes 2+ seconds to transform from the empty window with a calc icon to the actual calculator UI.<p>I should get Win7 calc.
As an alternative, I use the free community-edition netdata -- love it at my job, and it works right out of the box on my personal windows and linux machines.<p><a href="https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing/" rel="nofollow">https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing/</a><p>(don't let the `.cloud` scare you off, they have a 100% free and functional local-only install)<p>It's insanely powerful and with some configuration can persist the metrics in a local database.
