What is Sysinternals

sysinternals

Sysinternals is a collection of free system, management, and troubleshooting utilities for Windows.

Their history goes almost as far back as Windows itself, with the first version dating back to 1996. Since then, the Sysinternals suite has evolved with each successive version of Windows, with the arsenal expanding to over 70 different utilities. Microsoft bought and acquired the software outright in 2006 and kept it free and available for download, either as a complete package or individually.

Sysinternals also has regular updates with new utilities added over time. Best of all, the software is portable and doesn't require you to install it. Most of the utilities are simple EXE files that you can put on a USB flash drive and add to Windows' portable toolbox for system management.

Where to download them from

To get started, visit the Sysinternals Utilities Index, where you can also read a brief description of how each tool works.

If you choose to download the full Sysinternals suite, your browser will download a ZIP file of approximately 50 MB. Unzip SysinternalsSuite.zip to a destination folder of your choice.

Keep in mind that most of the tools require administrator access, so be sure to right-click each tool and select Run as administrator before using it.
