TaskManager+ v2.7.0 — TaskManager+ Lite

A standalone native version of the app, shipped as a separate download alongside the usual installer.

TaskManager+ Lite

taskmanagerplus-lite-v2.7.0-win64.zip on this release. Unzip it and run taskmanagerplus-lite.exe — there is no installer, and it does not interfere with a normal TaskManager+ install.

  • Processes — the full process table with sorting and search.
  • Performance — live CPU, memory, disk, network, and GPU graphs.
  • Battery — charge, health, and power draw.
  • Settings — refresh rate (0.5s to 5s), which page opens on launch, and an always-on-top toggle. Stored separately from the main app's settings.

It opens immediately and uses a fraction of the memory of the full app, because it is a native window rather than a browser engine. The heavier pages — Storage, Insights, and the AI features — stay in the main app.

Which one to use

The main installer is unchanged and remains the complete app. Lite is worth it if you want a task manager that starts instantly and stays out of the way, or if you would rather not have a WebView-based app resident.

The zip holds two files and needs both in the same folder: the executable and taskmanager_native.dll. Nothing else is required — no WebView2, no runtime install.

Windows will show a SmartScreen "unknown publisher" prompt on first run, because the executable is not code-signed. Choose "More info" then "Run anyway".

Under the hood

  • Lite is a separate process built on a native GUI toolkit, sharing the same telemetry backend as the main app rather than reimplementing it.
  • The main app does not link any of the lite UI code, so its binary is unaffected.
  • CI now builds the lite app on every commit and verifies the bundle layout before a release can be cut.
