Season 1
Building your USB thumbdrive
Welcome to the first episode of Defrag Tools where Andrew Richards and I will be walking you through the tools we use when troubleshooting Windows PC's. Each week we'll dive into the tools from SysInternals, showing you how to use them along with our best tips and tricks. In this episode we'll be showing you how to get started by creating a thumb drive that you can use to fix PC's and troubleshoot problems.
Process Explorer
In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew and I walk you through Sysinternals Process Explorer. Process Explorer is a comprehensive replacement for Task Manager. It allows you to view the details of the processes running on the computer, both at a point in time and historically. The performance graphs allow you to view the CPU, I/O, Memory and GPU usage. Process Explorer can be used to find file locks, loaded DLLs, autostart locations, and many more things.
Process Monitor
In this 2 part episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew and I walk you through Sysinternals Process Monitor. Process Monitor allows you to view the File, Registy, Network, Process and Profiling details of the processes running on the computer. The logging allows you to go from a holistic view all the way down to the function in the stack that initiated an event. Process Monitor can be used to troubleshoot nearly all types of issues. As coined by David Solomon - "When in doubt, run Process Monitor".

Autoruns and MSConfig
In this episode of Defrag Tools, Chad and I walk you through Sysinternals Autoruns. We also look at its predecessors: MSConfig and SysEdit. AutoRuns and MSConfig allow you to view and disable autostart entries on the computer. The autostart entries are locations in the registry and file system that can cause applications and DLLs to be automatically run at startup, login, application launch, and at many more registration points in Windows.
RAMMap
In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew and I walk you through Sysinternals RAMMap. RAMMap allows you to see how the Physical Memory (RAM) on the computer is being used. You can see how much RAM there is, for what purpose it is being used, and if there has been any memory pressure (not enough memory). We also cover a lot of Memory Management theory to understand the data in RAMMap.
VMMap
In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew and I walk you through Sysinternals VMMap. VMMap allows you to see how the Virtual Memory of a process is being used. You can see how much is used, for what purpose it is being used, and if there has been any memory leaks. Like last week with RAMMap, we cover some Memory Management theory to understand the data in VMMap.
