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?

You can try htop-alternative for windows - NTop https://github.com/Nuke928/NTop

You can install it with

choco install ntop.portable

or with

scoop install ntop

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

Specifically Process Explorer

Nothing beats the look and familiar functionality of btop++ for Windows by aristocratos/btop4win. Plus, it's a breeze to install with just one scoop install btop command.

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.

Here is more detail: Using the Get-Process Cmdlet
