by ddos ·

WinObjEx64

WinObjEx64 is an advanced utility that lets you explore the Windows Object Manager namespace. For certain object types, you can double-click on it or use the “Properties…” toolbar button to get more information, such as description, attributes, resource usage etc. WinObjEx64 let you view and edit object-related security information if you have required access rights.

System Requirements

WinObjEx64 does not require administrative privileges. However administrative privilege is required to view much of the namespace and to edit object-related security information.

WinObjEx64 works only on the following x64 Windows: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10/11, including Server variants.

  1. This feature require driver support enabled, see “Driver support” part below.
  2. This may require administrator privileges.
  3. Most of additional Windows internals-specific features however will be unavailable due to obvious reasons.
  4. Some named pipes may require administrator privileges to access.
