I recently downloaded the SysInternals tools. I'm running them on Windows Server 2019. The problem I am having only seems to apply to Process Explorer. I have this problem whether I run procexp.exe or procexp64.exe, same for both. I have also tried running as Administrator vs. not. Again, the problem persists, but other SysInternals tools (e.g. Procmon) seem to work fine and do not display this behaviour.

The problem is that when Process Explorer starts up, the window appears quickly, but then it is immediately unresponsive, and my cursor for that window is the blue spinning ring. I cannot scroll the window or interact with any control, nor can I minimise the window. I can use other windows/applications fine.

After some time (a few minutes, maybe 5), the window becomes responsive and I can use the program as normal.

Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?

Thank you all for your time.
