What's the easiest way to save Task Manager's Processes tab as a CSV file?
You can't do this using the task manager itself, but you can use the built-in tasklist
command line program to do it. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe
) and use the following commands:
- Type
tasklist
to output a list of all the currently running processes - To output as a csv, type
tasklist /FO csv
- To save the output of the command line to a file, add
> filename.csv
to the end of the command; for example,tasklist /FO csv > "%userprofile%\desktop\tasks.csv"
.
For full documentation on the various options for what to output, type tasklist /?
into the command prompt.
