ProcessKO ist für Profis und Anwender, die sich sehr gut am PC auskennen! ProcessKO ist ein kleines hilfreiches Tool zum schnellen Killen der laufenden, bzw hängenden Prozessen bzw. Programmen. Es ist nicht gerade selten bei Entwicklern oder Programmtestern, dass sich die Programme aufhängen und sich über den Taskmanager nicht schließen lassen.
Teilweise sind es immer wieder die selben Kandidaten, aus diesem Grund verfügt ProcessKO über eine hilfreiche Funktion: das Anlegen von Favoriten-KO's!

Gerade als Entwickler oder Betatester kennt man das Problem: Bis man den Taskmanager aufgerufen und den Prozess ausfindig gemacht hat und den Befehl "Prozess beenden" aktiviert hat, vergeht Zeit.

Mit ProcessKO geht es viel schneller und das Programm kann auch von hieraus sofort neu starten. Man kann sich hier sowohl einige Handgriffe als auch Zeit sparen! ProcessKO muss nicht installiert werden, kann bequem vom Desktop aus ohne Installation gestartet werden und ist somit auch portabel vom USB-Stick einsetzbar.

License: Freeware

What's new: >>

• Wichtige Tests vom Process.KO für das nächste MS Windows 10 und 11 Update
• Aktualisierungen der Sprachdateien in der Prozess K.O. APP für Windows

• Neue Sprache in ProcessKO: Finnisch

Rev 2

This revision works around a Litecoin bug when operating with pruned blockchains by updating the conf file when needed.

Rev 3

This updated revision better handles updating the litecoin.conf to work around a Litecoin bug when using pruned blockchains.

If you upgraded to Rev 2 and got an error about needing to switch back to the full blockchain, close Litecoin Portable. open your LitecoinPortable\Data\Litecoin directory. Open the litecoin.conf file. prune= is likely set to 550. Change it to 2200 and close and save it. Then launch Litecoin Portable again.

    Drawing character+emoji can shift character up-down, first of all for 265F pawn
    CJK enclosed letters and months: shrunk one font just a bit to prevent height from jumping
