    Thank you sir. I was already using process explorer and autoruns but i was looking for a solid video about Process monitor. Just a 2 second peak in your channel made me to instantly subscribe.
    Instead on relying on blog advice who give links to 10 different tools to download(some of them not free also), a friend of mine told me to take the time and start learning myself how to use already available valuable tools. little by little, my pc started getting healthier as i was understanding more and more. The main positive thing here is that not only i can make my pc run smoothly and troubleshoot, but the fact that by studying, exploring and using these tools, i now also understand why a thing causes problems and what kind of fixes might work.
    Wishes for a happy 2021 to you and everyone.

    As a SysAdmin/HelpDesk tech, I fully appreciate your insight and am grateful for your wealth of useful knowledge. The issue that has been a thorn in my side that I haven’t solved yet is the white box/bar along the top of an app that prevents the user from clicking anything in the covered area. The event happens when a user with dual monitors opens a pdf and sets it to full screen. The only common elements between users is dual monitors, windows 10, and Outlook. It happens with different brands of video cards. Any thoughts?
    I have spent a lot of time on this issue mainly because one of our lawyers who works with our CEO has been experiencing this and I have done everything up to and including building a new machine. It still comes back...

    More seriously: I love Windows, I love Mark, I have seen a lot of videos about "case of the unexplained", I have read the sysinternals books etc... But I have to admit: I have NEVER solved a real life issue with Procmon :(
    The problem is: there are too many events. So yes, this is very good but at the end, and you said the same in the video, it is all about filters. And you example is unfortunately a good example of what I am facing when tryng to solve an "unexplained" issue at work. This morning I was fighting with a W10 pc on which I was not able to install this fucking "Oracle database Integrator". After removing a lot of elements in Porcmon, I was still having 900.000 events. Because this program is a setup.exe mixed with a Java JDK and JRE program, mixed with some envrionnement variables and so on, there was still to many elements in Procmon that prevented me to find the culprit. In you example you are still seeing 5000 events that could be the cause of you Opera issue. And you stop the troubleshooting here, like me this morning because at the end we still don't know what is failing :)
    To finish my story, I found the solution to my ODI issue byunderstanding that the Java JDK that I have installed was to "recent" for ODI. I had to dolwnload old java JDK 7 to make the ODI able to install.
    So yes, Procmon is a good tool but when you have a REAL unexplained issue, this is very very very hard to solve it with procmon only...
