WhoLockedMe - Reveal processes locking files / blocking ports and release them with a simple click

[jNizM]

For me (Win10) the TrayIcon just flickered like crazy but show nothing...

[aaffe]

I have also Win10 64 bit 14393.693 Version 1607...

Has anyone fixed the stuck at 25%/33% issue? Or provided a fix to ignore any problems and proceed anyway?

I managed to get it to work on my Windows 7 PC, with the following fix: I ignored a process called ThpSrv.exe.

There is also code below to log all the PIDs that have been checked so far, in order to identify the PID that caused the crash, which you could look up in Task Manager. Note: in Task Manager 'click on Show processes from all users'.

Code: Select all

;add this code just after: Loop %HandleCount% {

;==============================
;WhoLockedMe fix:
vPID := SHI[A_Index, "PID"]
vPathLog = %A_Desktop%\z WhoLockedMe log.txt

;to log each PID to identify the PID were the crash occurred:
if !(vPIDLast = vPID)
	FileAppend, % vPID "`r`n", % "*" vPathLog

;to retrieve the path for a PID in order to skip certain processes:
if !(vPIDLast = vPID)
{
	oWMI := ComObjGet("winmgmts:")
	oQueryEnum := oWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process where ProcessId=" vPID)._NewEnum()
	if oQueryEnum[oProcess]
		vPPath := oProcess.ExecutablePath
	oWMI := oQueryEnum := oProcess := ""
}

vPIDLast := vPID

if InStr(vPPath, "ThpSrv.exe")
	continue
;==============================

Btw I ran a test where I edited the script to not force it to run as Admin, it still works and retrieves a lot of files, but some are omitted.

Wow cool! I haven't seen this. Does this still work?

Great script!

Working fine for me with AHK_L 1.1.30.01, 64-bit, Win7 Pro 64-bit. No issues so far (using latest version of script from OP).

Sorry for the super late response. Unfortunately I stopped using Windows and proprietary software in general a long time ago.
Since AHK doesn't run on Linux, there is not a lot of motivation for me to maintain my AHK scripts. But it's great to hear that it works for at least some of you and that you went through the hassle of tracing down that freezing issue!
Maybe I'll come back to this project one day when I got a proper gpu passthrough vm running.
