Condensing Task Manager/Programs&Features?

[MisterNoodle]

Is there any way to condense processes in task manager? IE place similar processes into a tree or folder?

 

Task Manager feels incredibly cluttered. I would love to bunch windows services, drivers, etc. into trees/folders so I don't accidentally end the wrong process and don't feel as overwhelmed by the clutter.

 

Programs and Features in the Control Panel has the same issue. On my system there are 17 separate versions of C++. Is there a way to condense them into a "C++ Versions" tree that I can click into when needed to streamline the table? Every time I check that page, I don't need to see every version cluttering the screen as I scroll through.

 

If anyone knows any solution(s) to either or both of these, please let me know.

Go to the "Process" tab

But they are different. How is it supposed to know they are the same?

I am asking about a way to manually tell the system to put them into a folder or tree that you could name or something. In the Process tab, there are *some* condensed processes, but I was wondering if there is a way to create larger trees to place similar (not necessarily the same) processes in. An example would be if I could take all the necessary windows processes like the search indexer and event log and place them into a "Windows Services" tree. All those different C++ Versions would be easier for me to manage if I could put them into a "C++ Versions" folder and not have to look at them every time.

 

Thank you for your feedback. Based on your feedback, it sounds like this is likely not possible.

Oh I see.

Yea, sorry, that is not possible.

You may use 3rd party tools like Process Hacker etc. Microsoft is not the only company that made software. :)
