Some of the most useful fundamental functionality doesn't work either, running windows 10, you can't filter in task manager. It irks me to no end that this isn't possible. Try finding a misbehaving program on windows, you need third party tools to get anywhere.

I don’t think that's true since they bought SysInternals in 2006 (tools are still downloadable: https://docs.microsoft.com/sysinternals/downloads/sysinterna...)

So I use Process Explorer, but I've not noticed it having a filter? It has a find, which is something, but I mean actually filtering a list should not be that problematic in this day and age? The reason I'm making the distinction is that find returns a list of handles, and then you can't do anything with those handles directly, you select them which then takes you back to the handle within the greater list of processes. It all feels pretty clunky. I am willing to admit there may be subtleties that I'm missing =)...
