Additionally, the PHlib library has been updated to version 3.1.24258, continuing the effort to maintain compatibility with the latest technology and ensuring smooth operation.

anyone tried to build TaskExplorer from sources?
seems mission impossible & total mess in the repo...
missed code
missed types...
WTF

blue_devil 04-20-2025 17:45

Maybe we should ask those questions by creating a new issue on the repo.

You only need VS 2022 latest Qt5 and you can build it, though there is a certain order to it
first /ProcessHacker/tools/thirdparty/thirdparty.sln
then /ProcessHacker/SystemInformer.sln
and finally /TaskExplorer+Libs.sln

Task Explorer v1.8.0 01.05.2026

Quote:

TaskExplorer 1.8.0 introduces several maintenance updates and fixes aimed at improving stability and compatibility across systems. The integrated PHlib library has been updated to version 4.0.26115, bringing the project in line with the latest improvements from the underlying System Informer components and ensuring better reliability when interacting with modern Windows builds.

This release also resolves a startup crash that affected some systems, improving overall application stability during initialization. In addition, an issue where job object names were not displayed correctly has been corrected, restoring proper visibility of job object information in the interface. Another crash condition triggered when clicking the SYSTEM_IDLE_PROCESS_ID entry has been fixed as well (issue #116).

A notable change in this release concerns the software signing pipeline. Not only is the kernel driver now signed by Microsoft as before, but all executable and dynamic library files, as well as the installer itself, are now additionally signed using our EV code signing certificate. This ensures stronger authenticity guarantees and improves trust signals in Windows security mechanisms such as SmartScreen.

Overall, version 1.8.0 focuses on improving robustness and strengthening the security and distribution integrity of TaskExplorer.
Changed
  • updated PHlib to version 4.0.26115

Fixed
  • fixed crash issue on start up affecting soeme systems
  • fixed job object name display issue
  • fixed click "SYSTEM_IDLE_PROCESS_ID" will crash.
