Session Processes for Horizon Help Desk Tool

The session processes appear on the Processes tab when you click a user name in the Computer Name option on the Sessions tab.

Processes

To avoid scrolling through the list of session processes, you can search for a session process by name by entering the process name in the search filter text box.

For each session, you can view additional details about CPU and memory related processes. For example, if you notice that the CPU and memory usage for a session is abnormally high, you can view the details for the process on the Processes tab.

For RDS host sessions, the Processes tab displays the current RDS host session processes started by the current user or current system process.
