| Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green circle | Monitor is running normally |
| Red circle | Monitor is in the process of shutting down |
| Gone | Monitor has fully stopped |
Hover over the icon to see a tooltip: Process Monitor - Running or Process Monitor - Running (muted).
| Menu item | Action |
|---|---|
| Process Monitor | Title label (not clickable) |
| Open Log Folder | Opens %USERPROFILE%\ProcessMonitorLogs\ in Explorer |
| Mute Notifications | Toggles balloon crash notifications on/off. Crashes still log to file. |
| Stop Monitor | Gracefully shuts down the monitor |
Double-clicking the tray icon opens the log folder in Explorer.
When muted:
- The tooltip changes to
Process Monitor - Running (muted) - A checkmark appears next to the menu item
- Balloon tips are suppressed
-
Crashes are still written to
errors_YYYY-MM-DD.log— mute only affects the on-screen popup
Click Mute Notifications again to unmute.
The mute setting is saved to settings.cfg in the log folder whenever you toggle it. The next time the monitor starts, it reads this file and restores your preference automatically — including the tray tooltip and menu checkmark.
File location: %USERPROFILE%\ProcessMonitorLogs\settings.cfg
To reset to unmuted without launching the monitor, delete settings.cfg or open it and set:
Muted=false
