Show HN: Appstat – Process Monitor for Windows(pragmar.com) 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! |
Other than that: it did not immediately crypto-lock my laptop and/or ramp up my GPU mining Führercoins, so that was good too.
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.
Thrilling stuff, I know...
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
MSIX installers feel a bit odd, I think, because they're far less common than either msi or self extracting exe. They also virtualize the app. MSIX apps, for example, can't write to the canonical registry. It's not all upside, but it works well for my projects.
The SDK install is expected (if not already installed). It should hopefully have been automatically downloaded during the install process.
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.
I should get Win7 calc.
https://flathub.org/apps/io.missioncenter.MissionCenter is a good option though
But I have to ask, do people really use Flatpaks for something like a process monitor? It feels like a process monitor should launch almost instantly. Waiting ~3 seconds for a Flatpak sandbox to spin up just to check system stats seems pretty frustrating.
Thank you!

(don't let the `.cloud` scare you off, they have a 100% free and functional local-only install)
It's insanely powerful and with some configuration can persist the metrics in a local database.
