Get-Process

Get-Process is a PowerShell cmdlet used to retrieve information about the processes running on a computer. It allows users to view details such as process names, process IDs (PIDs), memory usage, CPU usage, and more.

Here’s how to use Get-Process:

1. Open PowerShell by searching for it in the Start menu or by pressing Win + X and selecting “Windows PowerShell” or “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”.
2. Once PowerShell is open, you can simply type Get-Process and press Enter to retrieve information about all processes running on the computer.

   Get-Process

This command will display a list of processes along with details such as the ProcessName, ProcessId (PID), Handles, NPM(K) (Non-Paged Memory in Kilobytes), PM(K) (Paged Memory in Kilobytes), WS(K) (Working Set in Kilobytes), CPU(s), and more.

3. You can also use various parameters with Get-Process to filter the results or retrieve specific information. Some common parameters include:

• -Name: Retrieves processes with the specified name. Get-Process -Name "explorer"
• -Id: Retrieves the process with the specified process ID (PID). Get-Process -Id 1234
• -FileVersionInfo: Retrieves file version information for each process. Get-Process | Select-Object -Property Name, FileVersionInfo
• -Module: Retrieves the modules associated with each process. Get-Process | Get-Module
• -CPU: Sorts the processes by CPU usage.
  Get-Process | Sort-Object -Property CPU

3. After executing the Get-Process cmdlet with the desired parameters, PowerShell will display the requested information based on the specified filters or sorting options.

Get-Process is a powerful tool for monitoring and managing processes in PowerShell, providing insights into the performance and resource usage of running applications on a computer.
