# Fetch details of running processes on Windows devices

A multitude of processes and programs operate continuously on a device, running in both the foreground and background. IT administrators may need insights into processes, considering factors such as memory usage, CPU time, process owner, and more, spanning across all devices.

The following PowerShell script helps the IT Admins to remotely get the running processes details from their managed Windows devices.

1. Create a file on your desktop, for example, **fetch_running_processes.ps1** and open it in a text editor like notepad++
2. Copy the contents below to the file or click [here](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/Fetch%20running%20processes.ps1) to download the file.

```powershell
Get-Process
```
3. You will be able to see the details in the Output tab in View Status report on the Scalefusion dashboard.
