Do you usually use the Task Manager of Windows when some program does not work or for some other reason? You will know perfectly then that this little tool can sometimes fall short of its possibilities. It is then that we should look for some application that multiplies its features, and although there are several, today we want to analyze one of them, System Explorer.

The truth is that System Explorer is a program responsible for improving our computer's management options and gives us Windows through the Task Manager that comes installed by default on the PC. In this sense, we must say that it stands out in the segment for being completely free, allowing us to review all the processes that the system carries out and several possibilities to manage them.

The general idea of System Explorer is not too different from what we can find in theTask Managerof Windows, considering that it will let us visualize all the processes running at that moment. In addition, you can check how each of those processes affects the performance of your system and how many resources remain available despite them.

However, System Explorer adds many exciting elements, such as being able to observe in just seconds what are all the processes that have been set to start together with our computer, as well as the plugins installed in our browsers, the operating system services running in the background, or the drivers we have downloaded to have different supports.

For this reason, as we mentioned before, System Explorer is an excellent alternative when we want to find out in a concrete way which program is eating our computer's resources. It happens that often; thanks to this application, we can find out that some processes are open in the background without using them and close them so that they stop bothering us.

Another substantial aspect of recommending installing System Explorer on your PC is that it is one of the few administrators capable of checking if any of the processes running on your computer are infected. Thanks to its compatibility with the Jott and VirusTotal services, this platform analyzes all the active processes of the computer, looking for some of the most common viruses that exist.

System Explorer allows you to have access, in the same way, to a kind of history of all the processes that have been active on your computer in recent times, thanks to which you will be able to compare your current situation. In these reports, you'll be able to view information such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk writes and read rates, and many other relevant aspects of your PC's performance.

Undoubtedly, another lovely element of this software is the organization of the contents. With the vast amount of data it shows, they must be well placed because otherwise, we will have a lot of difficulties. In this case, in particular, we are in the presence of a platform that puts tabs on each of the different aspects on which it works so that you do not lose sight of them.

As for System Explorer's user interface, without being a marvel of design, we must say that we liked it a lot, especially for the excellent location of the different contents, which allows us to take advantage of them or find them quickly. For this reason, we certainly give it a pass in this regard, although anyway, it is such the amount of data it offers that we recommend you take some time to find them.

Regarding the main advantages of using System Explorer, we have to point out some of them, such as the fact that each of the tabs refers to different functions, so it is elementary to access them. We also liked that we can view a history of all the connections made and the possibility of obtaining a lot of information about our computer through its performance graphs.

Of course, System Explorer also has some rather negative aspects, among which there is one in particular that we do not quite understand why it can be seen, related to the fact that specific tabs are disabled by default. We consider this a bad choice by the developers because we cannot see this information unless we have previously enabled them.

To conclude, we consider System Explorer one of the best applications we can install on our computer if we are unsatisfied with Task Manager's Windows operation. It is a tool that integrates all the functions of this one but adds many others that we have just reviewed, which will undoubtedly allow you to manage the system more effectively.
