Pulse v0.5.0
Pulse v0.5.0 — the process tools get serious.
Download
- Pulse-Setup.exe — installer (per-user, no admin needed)
- Pulse-portable-x64.zip — unzip and run
Pulse.exe
Self-contained (bundles .NET + Windows App SDK). Windows 10 (20H2+) / 11, x64.
New in this release
- Per-process Disk I/O column — see which process is hitting your drive (works for all processes when running as admin).
- Power actions (right-click a process) — End process tree, Suspend / Resume, and Set priority (Realtime … Low).
- Run as administrator — one click in Settings; elevated, Pulse manages protected processes and services without a prompt each time.
- Ctrl+F focuses the filter; Services get a right-click menu; status is color-coded (Running green, Not responding red).
- Remembers your window size, last-open page, theme, update speed and always-on-top between launches.
Everything else
Live processes, CPU + per-core graphs, GPU power/temperature (NVIDIA), disk & network graphs, Startup apps, Services, and one-switch "make Pulse the default Task Manager."
