What Remote Process Explorer is

Remote Process Explorer is a Windows utility for managing and monitoring processes on local and remote computers in real time. It can stop processes, start new ones, change their priority, and shut down or restart a remote computer. Process details include process and parent IDs, CPU and memory use, priority, handles, and threads; a process tree organizes the running processes. Computer management features include groups, on/off status, automatic list refresh, an Add Computers Wizard, and separate accounts for each computer. The maker says the remote computer does not need extra software because the utility uses built-in operating system functions. The listed supported systems include Windows 10 and 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025. A free Personal License is for non-commercial use on one computer and excludes support and maintenance. The Business License costs $149.95, paid once for one machine; the Corporate License costs $2,999.95, paid once and allows unlimited installations within one organization. Paid licenses are perpetual and include one year of updates and support, with optional renewal afterward.
