Sysinternals Freeware Updates

May 27, 2015, 06:40(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

cooltools

cooltoolsUpdates include Autoruns v13.4 and Process Monitor v3.2.
See the Sysinternals blog for more info.

Autoruns v13.4
Autoruns, the most comprehensive utility available for showing what executables, DLLs, and drivers are configured to automatically start and load, now reports Office addins, adds several additional autostart locations, and no longer hides hosting executables like cmd.exe, powershell.exe and others when Windows and Microsoft filters are in effect.

Process Monitor v3.2
Process Monitor, a real-time system monitoring utility that captures registry, file system, process and thread, CPU, DLL and network activity, adds an option to show all file system values in hexadecimal, adds additional error code and file system control strings, and fixes a bug that prevented boot capture on Windows 10.
