How does Win10 let the file explorer title bar display the process ID

The existing Win32 version of the file resource manager has been a long-term battle, even if Microsoft intends to launch the UWP version of the resource manager in Win10 RS2, it may be difficult to shake the veteran status for a while. For the old user, the classic version of the resource manager is already very familiar, but in the case of multiple windows open, if you encounter a problem such as a window is not responding, it may be difficult to distinguish in the task manager. Fortunately, Microsoft actually provides a way to distinguish, but it does not open by default.

This method uses the process ID (PID) to distinguish. The PID can be viewed in the “Details” tab of the Task Manager. It can be easily viewed by opening the File Explorer's PID display function in the registry. The method is not difficult, as follows:
1, enter regedit in the Cortana taskbar, press the Enter key to enter the registry editor
2, locate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
3, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value, named ShowPidInTitle, as shown below ——

4, double-click to enter, set the value data to 1, as shown below ——

5, restart the file resource manager, available soft media Cube (click to download) Home shortcut commands easily, as shown below & mdash; & mdash;


this time to view the file explorer title bar, you can see the PID identity. It should be noted that the PIDs of multiple windows opened in the same way may be the same. For example, the windows that are opened by clicking the fixed resource manager icon on the taskbar, the title bar PID is no different, and then the software is used to view the software. The window that opens when you install the package location (above), the PID will be different from the taskbar icon. Therefore, the PID can distinguish the source of the window open.
