Explanation:

This is a part of an on-going blog series written by Adam Gordon. Each week, Adam will walk you through a PowerShell command, showing you when and how to use each one. This week, Adam covers Get-Process.

When to use Get-Process

The Get-Process cmdlet gets the processes on a local or remote computer.

Without parameters, this cmdlet gets all of the processes on the local computer. You can also specify a particular process by process name or process ID (PID) or pass a process object through the pipeline to this cmdlet.

By default, this cmdlet returns a process object that has detailed information about the process and supports methods that let you start and stop the process.

You can also use the parameters of the Get-Process cmdlet to get file version information for the program that runs in the process and to get the modules that the process loaded.
