I wanted to point to FOSS (GPL3) alternative ProcessHacker [1] which I'm using for years, and found out that their github link [2] now redirects to systeminformer [3], looks like repo rebranding, wasn't able to find it mentioned anywhere though.

Registry Explorer: Replacement for the Windows Built-In Regedit.exe Tool | Jul 2021

Instead of process explorer, I highly recommend people to use Process Hacker[0]. It's open source, contains a lot of information missing from process explorer, and has a much cleaner user interface.

Another great one is WinObjEx64[1], which allows exploring the NT namespace.

Agreed that the Sysinternals Suite is indispensable for anyone trying to do real work on Windows.

As for Process Explorer, the open-source Process Hacker is even better: https://github.com/processhacker/processhacker
