In short, I attempted to play a game today and encountered an issue. I tried restarting my computer and checking for the process, but couldn't locate it. I also doubted I had the Process Hacker installed. Someone could assist further.

I checked the directory and only discovered this file, but I can't move it anywhere since another program is using it. I searched for "process hacker" in the search bar, but it didn't turn up. I'm not sure if I have it installed.

If Windows indicates it's using something, verify the active processes in Task Manager, terminate the process, and then delete the associated file.

I might seem awkward, but I’m unsure how to see what’s using it.

Use Autoruns from Sysinternals, a complimentary tool included in the Sysinternals collection. Execute it with administrative privileges to view all active and installed drivers, tasks, and services. It displays installation locations and lets you temporarily disable any component, navigate to its entry, access the registry, task, or folder. Restart after disabling and remove the item to free up resources. Proceed with caution, as this powerful utility can damage your Windows installation if misused. Note that the Process Hacker file appears in your temp directory, indicating a disrupted or potentially malicious installation. For extra security, consider running a scan with Malwarebytes or a similar program if you suspect malware.

Malwarebytes identified the file as a risk, removed it, and everything is now functioning properly. Thanks!
