ProcessExternalNameBehavior Parameter

You can use the ProcessExternalNameBehavior parameter to distinguish a child process from a parent process.

By default, both child process and parent process names in Task Manager will be entry point names. But if ProcessExternalNameBehavior is set to default the child process will get the name of native application while parent process will still have the entry point name. This parameter allows users to distinguish between parent and child processes in some scenarios.
