System processes work in the background while many users might not even be aware of them. Besides the processes used by the operating system, each open application has its own processes running. Windows has some built-in solutions for dealing with processes and forcing them to shut down if necessary. But there is no option to pause them for a while, and let them continue to work after this.
Here is where Free Process Freezer comes in, a simple and useful utility with just one task: to pause running processes for a while. This is very useful when you need more resources for certain tasks. Also, this is good for security investigations; if you are not sure what a process does, you can freeze it for a while and investigate. If everything is OK you can resume the process.
The interface is simple: you can just refresh the process list, suspend, and resume a process. It also displays some process info, like process name, ID, and the current status - running or suspended. The total number of currently running processes is also displayed.
Overall, it is a simple, useful, and well-designed application. A word of advice: be careful which process you choose to freeze, as it also displays Windows system processes. If one of those is paused, this may lead to operating system crash and eventually data loss.
