LoadedDllsView1.01

While Microsoft Windows provides its own task manager and similar applications have also been developed offering an extensive overlook of all running processes, their CPU/RAM usage and so on, finding an app that focuses on running/in-use libraries instead is extremely difficult. LoadedDllsView is an application that helps those looking for this type of information by displaying all DLLs loaded into memory and the processes that loaded them.

Use a very practical interface to access a complete list of currently loaded DLLs

If you're familiar with the developer's work, you will probably know what to expect before launching the program: it runs on all modern versions of Windows and it doesn't require any other components to run. Furthermore, the interface is pretty simplistic, with just a few graphic elements, as its main purpose is to display loaded libraries in a top pane and apps that use those libraries in a bottom pane.For each DLL, LoadedDllsView will offer a wide variety of details, like its product / internal / company / file name, product / file version, attributes, full path, the number of processes accessing that library, file size and created/modified time. Considering the overwhelming number of columns, you'll of course be able to hide those which provide irrelevant information.As stated before, when selecting a library, the bottom pane will be populated with a list of all processes that have loaded that DLL.  For each process, the app will again display all relevant information, most notably the user running is and the elevation level. Therefore, LoadedDllsView will even display processes started by other/system users, not just your own.

Read-only software that only allows you to view and export DLL data

While this tool works pretty much as expected, with no obvious bugs or errors, there are a few obvious disadvantages. First of all, you should remember this is a "read-only" app, which means that if you want to perform any tasks - like killing a process or deleting a library, you won't be able to rely on the app, so get ready to "get your hands dirty". That might also take a while, since LoadedDllsView doesn't provide the option to open a process/library's full path in Windows Explorer (or whichever file manager you might be using), so, again, you'll have to find your way to the file on your own.Last, but not least, the list of currently loaded DLLs isn't displayed in realtime by default. If a library is no longer in use, it will still show up in LoadedDllsView - until you hit F5 (or Refresh in the View menu), of course. Nonetheless, if that is the case, when selecting unloaded libraries, nothing will be loaded in the bottom pane (for obvious reasons), so that might offer a hint if you'd like to avoid constantly refreshing the DLL list or enabling the auto-refresh option. Sadly, we cannot recommend enabling the auto-refresh option - unless it's absolutely necessary - since it will immediately leave its mark on your system's CPU usage.

An application that does what it promises without any unexpected surprises

In conclusion, this small utility works as intended by offering through its user interface or XML / HTML / CSV reports a comprehensive overview of all DLLs currently loaded by Windows and all apps running on it. By offering a full list of DLLs along with their corresponding processes and all relevant information on these files, LoadedDllsView can be, as the name states, a handy tool for viewing useful data on currently loaded libraries
