  • If you're focused on a specific process why don't you sort by Name or PID instead? Problem solved.

  • @joeqwerty: I never said I'm focused on a single process (especially when there is a need to scroll the process list for some reason or another). What makes you think so? Commented Sep 15, 2017 at 15:51
  • You said in your question that this happens when you have a specific process selected. Your selection is focused on that process. You may not be "focused" on that process from a thought/mental aspect, but your selection has that process focused. That's what I was getting at.

  • @joeqwerty: I see now. But consider the case: you selected a process, did what you need and forgot about it and Task Manager. You returned to it in an hour with the different task in your mind. That process is still selected. You sorted as you need, started scrolling and boom it undermines all your effort by stubbornly scrolling back to that process. This is even not talking about the case when you might have been selected a random process just mechanically, not intending to focus on it. Commented Sep 15, 2017 at 16:02
