\n\"Windows<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wanting to diagnose a problem you\u2019re having with your Windows 11 PC, or if you need your administrator\u2019s help, a good place to start is by exporting a list of currently-running processes for investigation.<\/p>\n

You can use Task Manager to view a list of currently running processes. The problem is that there is no way to export that list directly from Task Manager. To do that, you\u2019ll need to use Command Prompt.<\/p>\n

First, you\u2019ll need to open Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, click the Windows Search icon in the taskbar, type \u201cCommand Prompt\u201d in the Search bar, right-click the Command Prompt app<\/a> in the search results, and then click \u201cRun as Administrator\u201d in the context menu.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/p>\n

Command Prompt will now open with elevated rights. Once in Command Prompt, run this command:<\/p>\n

tasklist<\/pre>\n
\"Run<\/p>\n
This command returns a list of this information about each process:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Image Name<\/li>\n
  • Process ID (PID)<\/li>\n
  • Session Name<\/li>\n
  • Session #<\/li>\n
  • Mem Usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    The actual output will be much longer than this, but here\u2019s an example of how it looks:<\/p>\n
    Image Name                     PID Session Name        Session#    Mem Usage
\n========================= ======== ================ =========== ============
\nSystem Idle Process              0 Services                   0          8 K
\nSystem                           4 Services                   0      3,640 K
\nRegistry                       160 Services                   0    101,800 K
\nsmss.exe                       568 Services                   0      1,096 K
\ncsrss.exe                      912 Services                   0      5,604 K
\nwininit.exe                   1008 Services                   0      5,916 K
\ncsrss.exe                      316 Console                    1      7,640 K
\nservices.exe                   628 Services                   0     10,284 K
\nlsass.exe                      816 Services                   0     21,916 K<\/pre>\n
    Now, if you want to export this list as a TXT file, run this command:<\/p>\n
    tasklist>C:serviceslist.txt<\/pre>\n
    You can replace serviceslist<\/code>\u00a0with any name you want to give the text file.<\/p>\n
    \"Run<\/p>\n
    Your TXT file is now ready. You can find this file in your Windows (C:) drive in File Explorer. Open File Explorer, navigate to \u201cWindows (C:),\u201d and then locate the \u201cserviceslist\u201d (or whichever name you gave it) text file.<\/p>\n
    \"The<\/p>\n
    You can double-click the file to open it or send it to your administrator for further investigation.<\/p>\n
    This is a handy way to get a quick copy of your output for easier reading and to share with your staff. This list of running processes isn\u2019t the only thing you can export as a text file, though\u2014you can export almost any output.<\/p>\n
