WhatIsPIDofThisWindow

In the eventuality that you would like to learn more about the processes running on your system, then you have two options. The first one entails opening Task Manager where you can view a detailed list of the processes, whereas the second implies using the tasklist command in the console.

While efficient, sometimes it may be tiresome to go through lists to find exactly what you are looking for. WhatIsPIDofThisWindow is a lightweight console application that enables you to get the name and process ID of a selected window, thus simplifying the task.

Since this is a console utility, you only need to grab and run it to get started. You can run it directly and simply click the desired window to immediately learn the name of the process and its corresponding ID. You can use the tool on as many processes as needed, depending on your task.

Given the nature, and consequent, speed of the app, it can help you identify all sorts of processes on your computer. For instance, if you notice that a window keeps popping up before executing a command on your system, but it’s just too fast to be able to learn anything about it, the tool may come in handy.

If you have the suspicion that your computer is compromised, then you can use the tool to determine if you are dealing with malware. As malware has the tendency of disguising itself as other legitimate apps, retrieving the suspicious window’s name and PID can help you sort things out.

WhatIsPIDofThisWindow provides a quick and effective way to learn the name and the PID of a process associated with any window you click on. The tool can come in handy in identifying various processes running in the background and also can prove useful for debugging.
