  • Formerly known as Winternals and initially released in 1996, Windows Sysinternals is now a product from Microsoft after it acquired Winternals Software on July 18, 2006. Today, Windows Sysinternals includes a suite of Windows utilities that can be downloaded as a collection or individually for free from Microsoft.

  • List of Windows Sysinternals utilities
