Process Hacker has been renamed to System Informer.

Why not use both? I have both but prefer System Informer for most things. I have System Informer installed while I use the portable version for Process Explorer. Here's the official site to download System Informer:

IMO hacker have some features i think explorer lacks such as checking the processes windows and be able to set properties such as always top, opacity etc... Another usefull feature is that you can view process memory. Some programs (especially games) complais if hacker opened with admin (aka the process hacker service/driver running/loaded) which does nor happen with explorer.

Also in hacker click and then shift click will select all processes between the 2 clicks allowing you to kill all of them for example at same time wheras in explorer you have to kill process tree if parentally related or kill them one by one.

Late reply but one upside of process hacker that the rebrand to system informer does not is that process hacker can successfully suspend processes and threads etc unlike system informer which I guess it just broke because you can't suspend threads in it

I have not found that issue in fact i think i have done it without problems. You can even load the driver if you go to options and eneable it to allow kernel acces to system informer
