TaskForge covers the five things you normally open Task Manager for, and adds the one it will not do. Processes lists everything live with CPU, memory, PID and user, sortable and filterable, with an optional group-by-app view and a right-click menu for ending a task, changing priority, revealing the executable or copying its path. Performance draws live CPU and memory graphs with a per-core grid. Startup shows your login items and turns them on or off reversibly through the Windows StartupApproved registry, so nothing is destroyed. Services lists what is installed and lets you start, stop or restart it. Alerts is the addition: set a threshold on CPU, memory, process count or a single runaway process, with a sustained-window rule, and get a notification plus an event-log entry. Recording, CSV and JSON export and snapshots let you take the evidence away with you.
