Spread the love

A new version of Sysinternals Suite was released on Wednesday. The Sysinternals Suite is a collection of useful tools for managing Windows computers. The software can be used, among other things, for troubleshooting and for collecting information. The various tools were written by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. Initially for Sysinternals, but both gentlemen have been working for Microsoft for a while now. Examples of programs included in the package are Process Explorer, Bginfo, contig and disk mon. In total it concerns a collection of no less than 67 tools. Since the previous release, three components have been updated and one new one has been added:

Autoruns v9.51:
This fixes a bug with the Run As Administrator functionality on 64-bit Windows 7, a copy-to-clipboard bug where part of a line’s content was truncated, and is updated to show Windows 7 Sidebar Gadget configuration.

VMmap v2.1:
VMMap now shows process private byte and working set usage in the process picker, shows the size of the displayed strings in the strings dialog, and fixes a bug with automatic .vmp file association and running the 32-bit version on 64-bit systems.

PSExec v1.96:
This release fixes a bug where remote command-line output was not displayed when the target system was 64-bit Windows XP.

ProcDump v1.0:
This new command-line utility is aimed at capturing process dumps of otherwise difficult to isolate and reproduce CPU spikes. It also serves as a general process dump creation utility and can also monitor and generate process dumps when a process has a hung window or unhandled exception.
