Windows 10: 'rundll32' Command Line I've Never Seen Before in Task Manager, What Was It?

I scrolled in Task Manager and saw that rundll was there, which isn't normal; I checked the command line column in the Details tab and it said something like;"appxdeployment extensions shellcore refresh" or something similar to thatthe AppX Deployment service runs on and off all the time but it never causes RunDLL to start, I can say this with confidence because I pretty much always have Task Manager openI'm really worried as to what this was or means? it went away on its own, and I decided to check Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Systemin the System log, at 10:25am it was 10:25/10:26am w

What is the -k for in the command line of Windows 10 task manager?

Hi Vicky,

In Task Manager on Windows 10 and Windows 11, the "-k" parameter is used to display the command line options used to start a specific process. It allows you to view the full command line used to launch a process, which can be helpful in understanding how a particular application or service is being executed.

To access this feature in Task Manager, follow these steps:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager.
   
2. In Task Manager, go to the "Processes" or "Details" tab.
   
3. Right-click on the column header (where the process names are listed) and select "Command Line."
   

Now, you should see an additional column in Task Manager displaying the command line options for each running process. This will show you the full path to the executable file and any additional parameters used when launching the process.

Keep in mind that some system processes and services may have long and complex command lines, while others may have simpler ones. This feature is useful for troubleshooting, identifying the origin of a process, or understanding how a particular application is running on your system.

 

Execute a command from SCCM Task sequence step "Run a Command line"

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion.

That will work indeed, however I need to run it from the SCCM Task Sequence's Run Command Line Step and I am not able to figure out how to do that.

Can we change line while executing command from SCCM Task Sequence's Run Command Line Step?

Regards

 

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile
