Windows 7 - missing PID in services tab, task manager

3

So, as stated in the title, PID tab is missing from services tab in task manager. I need PID in order to find a windows service, which causes lots of hard page faults in my system. Any way to fix that?

Here is a screenshot showing what my issue is.

I don't have the tcp/ip tab on my w7 task manager??? – Moab – 2016-02-11T23:47:16.003

@Moab I had the TCP/IP tab, because of a program called "prio", which added some additional tabs to task manager. – Raytek – 2016-02-12T11:03:14.170

I wonder if prio changed that, W7 task manager has that pid column by default. – Moab – 2016-02-12T21:49:40.050

@Moab It did. Uninstalling prio brought back all the tabs that were missing. – Raytek – 2016-02-13T09:58:30.193

And what do you know... A program called "Prio", which I used to set priorites and process affinity was causing the issue. Now all the tabs in task manager that I wanted are back.

So, for anyone who stumbles here with the same issue - You might have "prio" installed. I have uninstalled it and it's back to normal. I will see if there are any settings that are needed to be changed in prio, so that all the tabs are shown.

Missing PID in services tab, task manager

  1. Select the column divider between "Service Name" and "Status"

  2. Drag it right - you should see a "Description" Column

Unfortunently, this didn't work. The column divider is not present and all I can do is extend the width of the present two tabs. – Raytek – 2016-02-11T23:25:01.983

@Raytek Try turning off Aero first – DavidPostill – 2016-02-11T23:26:40.200

I had it disabled. I turned it back on and it's still the same. – Raytek – 2016-02-11T23:29:25.907

@Raytek What's strange is that your Task Manager looks different o the Windows 7 Task Manager. I don't have a TCP/IP tab for example. – DavidPostill – 2016-02-11T23:31:44.920

1Yeah... I have installed a program called "prio" sometime ago, so I can set process priorities and affinity permanently. I will try removing it tomorrow and see if that will fix it. – Raytek – 2016-02-11T23:34:29.443

Just replace Task Manager with ProcessHacker - task manager replacement on steroids, including priority and affinity settings and much more ;)

Thanks for your help. You pointed out that my task manager is looking different(which for some reason I didn't notice) and that made me think about prio. And also - I converted my comment to an answer as you suggested :) – Raytek – 2016-02-12T10:45:24.243

@Raytek Please read Can I answer my own question?. You might want to convert your comment into an answer ;)
