Filtering processes in Process Explorer

Process Explorer does not support specifying multiple process names in the “Filter by name” box as a list (for example, separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons). The filter is designed for a single name/pattern at a time.

To work with multiple processes, use one of these approaches instead:

1. Use a common wildcard pattern that matches all desired processes (for example, *explore* to match both explorer and iexplore if that fits the scenario).
2. Use other Sysinternals tools that support broader filtering or scripting, such as:
   • PsList for command-line listing and filtering of processes (for example, pslist exp to show all processes whose names start with exp).
