I need to get the top running process on the windows system. Is there any way to find out this?

CodePudding user response：

I would suggest you to elaborate further your questions since it could be related to several topics in general.

Basically, through User interface you can go to windows>Windows Task Manager>click on processes tab and see in real time the consumption on them. By default, the Processes tab displays a list of the running processes and their actual resource utilization depending on the OS version:

Image Name – the binary executable file of the running process
User Name – the user of the current process
CPU – processor time utilization as a percentage of total CPU resource
Memory – physical memory utilization in Kilobytes
Disk
Network

To do this task through command: -Select the start menu and type “command” -hover the mouse over Command Prompt so it’s highlighted and then select Run as administrator on the right (You may need to select Yes on a pop-up window to approve running Command Prompt as administrator) -Once the command prompt is open, type tasklist and press enter to see a list of processes running on your system.

As an example, in here you will find more than one way to get the running processes on the windows system (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10) and then save it to a file if needed.
