If you’re an advanced user, you probably use Task Manager on Windows 10 on the regular basis to check performance, services, and processes.
You probably didn’t know that Task Manager can also provide the command-line argument executed by the application, process, or service.
If you’ve ever been wondering what exactly the OS is executing, you can do the following:
-
Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC).
-
Click the Process tab. If you don’t see it, click the More details button.
-
Right-click any of the column’s name and select Command Line.
You can also do the same on the Details tab.
-
Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC).
-
Click the Details tab. If you don’t see it, click the More details button.
-
Right-click any of the column’s name and select Select column.
-
Select the Command line option.
-
Click OK.
