how to disable logging in Process monitor while startup


How to Open Process monitor with logging on all logging components STOPPED.

By default, it starts capturing all the logs giving no time to do CTRL + E which stops Capture Events and apply my filter.

It fills virtual memory quick enough to become 'not responding'.

I am interested in File I/O logging to a specific path using Filters, but process monitor hangs due to the log that grows with components that am not interested.

I am not finding any answers related to startup of process monitor.


Solution

  • Use the /noconnect command-line switch, i.e. run procmon.exe /noconnect.
