win-process-manager

A native Windows process manager written in Rust.

Features

• List all running processes with PID, name, executable path, and command line.
• Duplicate (spawn) a selected process with its original command line.
• Refresh the process list.

How it works

• Uses Windows native APIs (ToolHelp32Snapshot, ReadProcessMemory, NtQueryInformationProcess, etc.) for process enumeration and command line extraction.
• No WMI or PowerShell required.
• Requires appropriate permissions to read process memory.

Usage

1. Build and run:

   cargo run --release

2. Menu options:

   • 1 — List all processes
   • 2 — Refresh process list
   • 3 — Duplicate a process (enter PID)
   • 4 — Exit

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• Rust toolchain
• Run as Administrator for full access

Notes

• Some system processes may not show command lines due to access restrictions.
• Duplicating a process will attempt to launch a new instance with the same executable and arguments.
