What Remote Process Explorer is
Remote Process Explorer manages processes on local and remote Windows computers and shows their activity in real time. It can stop processes, start new ones, change their priority, and shut down or restart a remote computer. Process details include process and parent IDs, CPU and memory use, priority, handles, and threads, displayed in a process tree. Computer groups, on/off status, automatic list refresh, an Add Computers Wizard, and separate accounts for each computer support managing multiple machines. The maker says remote computers need no extra software because the product uses built-in operating system functions; users can run it on their own network without registration. The free Personal License is limited to non-commercial use on one computer and excludes support and maintenance. Paid perpetual licenses include one year of updates and support: Business License costs $149.95, paid once for one machine, while Corporate License costs $2,999.95, paid once for unlimited installations within one organization. It runs on the listed Windows versions from Windows 10 and Server 2012 R2 through Windows 11 and Server 2025.
