The most recent article I have found on this site regarding Systinternals Process Monitor is 13 years old. I must have missed something because I'm still having the same problem.

I have Windows 7 on this PC. (Haven't tried it yet on my Windows 11 PC.) I have procmon released September 29, 2023 and that seems to be the most recent. When I try to run it, it puts up the basic process window, albeit empty. The I get a box with the message:

Unable to load process Monitor Device Driver: The specified procedure could not be found.

Since people experienced this (or very similar) problem 13 years ago I doubt that reverting to an older version (even if I could even find it) would be a solution.

I am sure this has been solved somewhere. Am I right?

    ( github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sysinternals/issues/552 ) bug report thread states that "a permissions elevated CMD is not enough for the inital run. The first time launch requires true Admin permissions. Login as Admin." Try that?

    Your problem is essentially your running Windows 7 and the application doesn’t support Windows 7

Your version of Process Monitor is new, and your Windows version is too old. The two versions are not compatible.

The latest v3.96 says:

Runs on:

Client: Windows 10 and higher.
Server: Windows Server 2012 and higher.

It's said that Process Monitor v3.84 is the last version that supports Vista and 7.

Here's the link to v3.84:

    And there is nothing wrong with 3.84. This app has changed very little since Mr. Russinovich wrote it.
