ASCII.jp Task Manager 11, which has been improving steadily through the history of Windows, supports Edge process display

Windows 11 task managers can display Edge processes as roles.

　When Windows feels "heavy", the task manager will start up first.The task manager has been steadily improved in Windows 10 feature updates and Windows Insider Program's Dev Channel preview version.In Windows 11, the task manager can finally display the Edge process for each role.

　Chrome, which has the same bass and its bass, is a program consisting of numerous processes.The reason why we do so is that one process is divided into functions to enhance security, and the impact on other processes is reduced.For example, the directly launched program itself and the renderer that perform the extension function and page display are different processes.

　Another reason is that we want to have a degree of freedom to speed up and rely on memory as a different process for each web page (tab).Web browsers are the most frequently used programs, and until recently, "fast" browsers have been good.For this purpose, various processes such as multiple processing in the same browser, such as downloading from the network, displaying pages (rendering), and execution of JavaScript are performed in parallel.

　Generally, there are processes and threads in OS scheduling units, but processes are allocated resources such as memory.On the other hand, the thread needs to manage the resource assignment by the parent process.In fact, web browsers are composed of multiple processes, and there are multiple threads inside (a total of more than 100 tabs).

　The internal process of Edge is as shown in the table below.Windows 11 task managers can display this.However, this can be viewed in Windows 10 from Edge's "Hamburger Menu" → "Other Tools" → "Browser Task Manager".The Windows 11 task manager can now be displayed.

Task manager who has continued steady improvement through the history of Windows

　The task manager in Windows is Windows NT 4.0 is the first, but before that, "Task List" (Windows 3 (Windows 3) "(Windows 3 (Windows 3).0) It was a function called "Close Program" (Windows 95).

　Windows 2000 has multiple tabs as it is now, and not only in the process but also to display performance.This is the prototype of the current task manager.

　Initially, there were only three tabs, "Application", "Processes" and "Performance"."Application" is for programs with windows, and initially only for programs that were visible to users.Windows 2000 allows you to see all the processes, and you can select and stop the process.

　After that, the basic configuration became Windows 10, and the basic configuration is "Process" (Japanese notation), "Performance" (performance), "App History" (app history), "Startup" (Startup),"Users" (users), "Details" (details), "Services" (service), but "Startup", "Users" and "Services" are originally provided by MMC (Microsoft Management Console).Is incorporated.

　For those that are currently "Process", all processes are divided into categories, and resources consumption status is mainly displayed.On the other hand, "Details" also displays all the processes, but this one allows you to see the process itself more detailed.

　Changes on Windows 10 are concentrated on this Process and Performance tab.For example, power -related slot ring (power control), power consumption, device type of external memory, and GPU performance and temperature can be displayed.By enhancing the high -resolution display function in Windows 10, it became clear whether it was high resolution for each process.In addition, it is from Windows 10, which can be grouped and displayed in the process.

　Strangely, Windows did not admit the parent -child relationship between the processes.However, in UNIX, which has become an example of many OS, the process has a clear parent -child relationship.From time to time of Windows 10, the Microsoft document has a notation that allows the process of the process to be allowed, and the CreateProcess function is now included.

● “CreateProcess function creates a new process executed separately from the creation process. However, in order to make it easier to understand, the relationship is called parent -child relationship.” Https: // docs..Microsoft.COM/JA-JP/Windows/Win32/ProCthread/Creating-Processes

　The task manager enabled the process of the process of the process is Windows 10 ver, where the Runtime Broker, which launches the program in UWP, is separated for each application..At 1709.From this time, the process of desktop applications has been grouped and displayed in parent -child relationships.

　Also, Windows 10 ver.In 1903 (19H1), the default tabs can now be set.The conventional task manager always opened the "Processes" tab when launched, but this version could specify the default tab and display the tab at startup.In many cases, you may want to see CPU and network graphs.

　In Windows 11, there is an ARM version, and the architecture of the program is displayed on the "Details" tab.Then, the Edge process display was possible on the Build 21364 of Dev Channel of Windows 10th era of Windows 10 era, which formally entered Windows 11.

You can also display the architecture of the execution code for each process

　However, the process display of this Edge is displayed by the task manager specially treated only Edge processes.Probably, it has obtained information equivalent to Edge's browser task manager.

The process display of the task manager is almost the same as the information of Edge's "Browser Task Manager".

　Because the Windows process has no way to identify the name or function of the process from the outside, only the parent process and child process itself that starts it knows what processing the process will do it.is.

　So, the process of other processes, for example, Chrome with the same structure, is not distinguished as Edge, simply Chrome..The only name of the execution file called EXE is lined up.Also, the name of the process is displayed only in the "Processes" tab, and the "Details" tab is all MSEDGE as before..It is only displayed as EXE.

　"C: \ Windows \ System32 \ TASKMGR, which is the executable file of the task manager in Windows 11.When the character string contained in "EXE" is displayed, it contains a character string such as Render, Browser, and Utility, which appears on the Processes tab.This is TASKMGR of Windows 10.Not included in EXE.

　In Windows, the executable file contains only the original English, and Japanese support is defined separately in the MUI (Multilingual User Interface) resource file.For this reason, even in the Japanese version, executable files (TaskMGR).If you take out the string from EXE), you can only take out English messages.

　Of course, the software with a single point is not interesting, and it is interesting to see the render and network process moving and using memory.The creators may be satisfied, but they seem to be a "gender" function.Of course, explaining the process structure of Edge and visualizing it in this way will satisfy you.

　However, even if this is a "new function" or "evolution" of software, it feels something different.However, rather than that, in Windows 11, the task manager can no longer be launched from the right -click menu of the taskbar.
