Thank god, cant wait to try this out! My windows always feels enormously sluggish and memory seems to dissipate soon after reboot. It has been my biggest gripe with my lenovo y700 laptop and at times it has actually frozen for couple minutes after opening from sleepmode(or quickstart, the one that powers off). Really unbearable and been thinking of buying new one(or just using my work MBP even more). UPDATE: Umm.. After spending some time getting my Visual Studio to build the FindZombieHandles-project (pre-built binary would have been nice) it immediately exists not enabling me to see all the zombie processes. I don't know how to code C# and can't really afford spending time to change the termination based on say pressing Esc-key.

You can find the worst suspects from Task Manager -> Details -> add handles column. Or you can run the findhandles program from a command prompt; probably easiest to get VS to open the project folder for you then shift-right-click to open cmd or powershell.

The repo has prebuilt binaries now

  The binaries don't work for me. When I run as a privileged (admin) user I get: Some process names may be missing. 0 total zombie processes. No zombies found. Maybe all software is working correctly, but I doubt it. More likely the zombie counting process failed for some reason. Please try again. Pass -verbose to get full zombie names.

    That happens sometimes. I don't know why.
