Versions:
QTop is an elevated Windows process manager developed by Code-iX, currently available in version 1.0.0, which is the first and only release of the software. Designed as a Windows desktop application focused on quick triage, it presents all running processes as an expandable parent/child tree complete with icons, CPU percentage, CPU time, memory usage, and instance counts, giving administrators a clear hierarchical view of system activity. Processes are automatically categorized into Apps, Background, Services, and Windows/System groups, and filter pills display live match counts along with total CPU percentage so users can immediately assess resource consumption by category. The application supports fast searching across process names, PIDs, executable paths, and service names, making it practical for locating specific processes in busy environments. A dedicated detail panel exposes additional diagnostic information for any selected process, including its command line, user and session context, integrity level, and version metadata, which is useful for troubleshooting, security review, and software inventory tasks. QTop also implements a safe kill flow: applications can be closed gracefully, stubborn processes can be force-killed together with their entire process tree, and built-in PID-reuse protection helps prevent accidental termination of unrelated processes that may have recycled an identifier. Because the app requires administrator rights when launched, it operates with the elevated privileges necessary to inspect and manage system-level and service processes. Falling within the system utilities and process management category, QTop is suited to IT administrators, power users, and support staff who need rapid process inspection, resource monitoring, and controlled termination capabilities on Windows machines, combining the visibility of a full task manager with safety mechanisms designed to reduce the risk of terminating the wrong process during incident response or routine maintenance.
