Equivalent to the htop command on Windows

Question

I installed an nginx server on Windows, then ran it and tested it by accessing it on the local host. However I want to see more details which I can see on a Linux environment when running the htop command (which gives details on the no. of worker processes running on the nginx server).

Does such command also exists on Windows?

Microsoft Sysinternals Suite can do what you need, as quite easily found via the search engine of your choice.

Specifically Process Explorer

procexp doesn't have a cli viewer does it? – Jared Beach May 23 '18 at 14:49
Not that I'm aware of. But have a look at [this page](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer#learn-more) – Lenniey May 23 '18 at 14:55
The diagram writes top CPU user process, just what I needed. – inf3rno Jan 25 '21 at 09:18
I remember sysinternals from before they were owned by Microsoft and it was just a labor of love for their developer who built them and gave them all away free. They're great tools. – thomasrutter Mar 01 '22 at 23:52

Everything is built into Windows. Just go to task manager and click the different tabs. Especially the details tab to see processes etc.

You can also simply type "Get-Process" into PowerShell.

Be aware that some shops run non-gui. – mckenzm May 22 '20 at 04:22
