    Hi, sometime my explorer.exe crash or I need to kill it and then when I restart explorer.exe, all Process Explorer systray icons (CPU History, Commit History, ...) I choosed to display vanish.

     

    I tested, this issue starts with Process Explorer 17 (I'm using latest 17.04) and I have no issue when rollback to v16.43)

     

    After this "fake relaunch" (fake since it's still the same process explorer instance), the systray icons don't come back but if I change the settings to add / remove some, all defined icons come back.

     

    That's annoying since I choose to always launch Process Explorer in administrator mode with Windows compatibility settings, so since I can't get back the process explorer in foreground by clicking on one of the vanished tray icons, I have to relaunch it from the exe, then confirm again the admin privileges elevation, just to get back the already launched instance (Allow only one instance setting enabled) and worse at work where I have to input my session's password for elevation because of some group policy setting.

    Hello Alex.

    Is there any chance that Process Explorer could be updated, so that for processes using the modern .NET runtimes, it shows the tabs for '.NET Assembles' and '.NET Performance', like it does for the legacy .NET Framework ?
    There is also a problem with obtaining the full stack for threads in processes using the modern .NET runtimes, as the stack trace seems to stall at the transition from unmanaged to managed code, and this worked fine with the old .NET Framework.

    With Microsoft wanting everyone to transition to the modern .NET runtimes, it would be so good if this were supported by Process Explorer.
