Bugs in RAMMAP and ZOOM it, Contig question/improvement
I use the latest versions of Sysinternals' RAMMAP, ZOOM-it and Contig. 1. RAMMAP still contains a bug. Start the program and open the "Process" tab. You will see that RAMMAP truncates the names of the processes to the 1st 14 characters of the process names. If the name of a process is e.g. 30 characters long (including the extension) then RAMMAP only displayes the 1st 14 characters and then the last 16 characters are not shown at all. I brought this bug to the attention of Microsoft in the past but this hasn't been fixed yet. 2. The latest versions of ZOOMit fail to start on my Windows 7 system. It then generates an error. Something along the lines of "Failed to start". This applies to both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Previous version of ZOOMit in the past did run & start on my system. 3. Is CONTIG able to defragment directory files themselves ? If so, then what should I type in MSDOS ? These can be fragmented as well. A program called DEFRAGGLER is capable to defrag directory files itself but not CONFIG !!! In Windows MS-DOS one can target the directory itself by using a dot ("."). E.g. "CD c:\windows\." This targets the directory itself. To be added to CONTIG as well in a future version.
DebugView v. 5.0 freezes
It appears that if the file C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP exists, DebugView/UI will freeze completely if permission to open/read the file hasn't been granted. DebugView is also incapable of telling what it's trying to do at the time (ie. trying to process a crash dump file). Running DebugView under a non-Administrative account & trying to process a renamed crash dump file yields the following error message:Request: Versioned download URLs
Hi, The download URLs listed on https://learn.microsoft.com/nb-no/sysinternals/downloads/ all seem to point to the latest version of each Sysinternal tools. This is usually preferable, but causes problems for tools such as Chocolatey that validates the checksum of the ZIP file after download (see https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/blob/master/automatic/sysinternals/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1). Checksum validation will then fail after each Sysinternal release since the file content have changed but not the URL (see https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/issues/2751). ASK: Would it be possible for the Sysinternal team to also offer download URLs that contain the version, so that Chocolatey and similar tools can start assuming a constant checksum for a given download URL? Thanks in advance, Fredrik Orderud
RDCMan v3.1: Recent Built-In Group Not Working
I am using Remote Desktop Connection Manager v3.1 (on Windows 11 Enterprise, 24H2) and have found the following two issues... The "Recent" Built-In Group doesn't work...the recently connected servers do not appear in this group (this fails for my colleague too). If you click on the URL shown in the "About" Dialogue box then RDCMan errors and then crashes! (Again, this too fails for my colleague). Many thanks! Lee
Autologon v3.10 fails to set password for Server 2025
When attempting to setup AutoLogon for Windows Server 2025, the AutoAdminLogon, DefaultDomainName, DefaultUserName are all set, though it does not appear to be setting the encrypted password correctly where ever autologon stores that value. I have tested it working successfully on Windows Server 2022.Process Explorer DPI scaling problem on 4K display with 200% scale (Windows 11 Build 26120)
I'm running Process Explorer (procexp64.exe) on Windows 11 Pro Build 26120 with a 4K monitor scaled to 200% (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB card). Regardless of system scaling settings or compatibility adjustments, the UI of Process Explorer reverts to a "need strong reading glasses" size after launch. It seems to not be honoring my 200% scaling. Here’s what I’ve tested: Enabled “Override high DPI scaling behavior” and set it to “System (Enhanced)” Enabled “Program DPI” with “I open this program” option Created a custom external manifest (PerMonitorV2) in the same folder as procexp64.exe Tried toggling between PerMonitorV2 and Application in the manifest I did not enable the global PreferExternalManifest registry setting for safety reasons Process Explorer momentarily honors scaling overrides or manifest settings at launch, but once initialized, it redraws its main window at a smaller, unreadable scale. Dialogs and property windows also do not respect the intended DPI awareness. If I move the window to my second 1k monitor and change that display from 100% to 175% it looks good. It would be helpful if future builds of Process Explorer could maintain DPI consistency on high-resolution displays, or at least expose a command-line or UI flag to force a specific scaling mode. I'm currently agonizing with this issue over ArcGIS Pro's UI on my monitor. Co-Pilot helped me try to sort this issue, and also helped me write this report.Suggestion for AD Explorer
I'd like to see a "Refresh (F5)" feature in AD Explorer. Example - I'll open AD Explorer to a user object and find that a mailbox was never enabled for that account. I'll pop-open Powershell and enable the mailbox. Now, back to AD Explorer, the changes made are not reflected. Having a Right-click/Refresh on the object would be much more convenient than disconnecting and reconnecting with the directory. Thanks for the awesome tools that I use daily!
