Microsoft may not be a recognized name when it comes to security and system control, but it’s undeniable that Microsoft is in the best position to help users control their Windows-based operating systems. This has been made possible with Sysinternals Suite which is a download version of the popular web-based system tools offered by Microsoft.

Sysinternals Suite is one of the most extensive tools that you can download and use. The application comes with no less than 60 tools – all geared towards security, system maintenance, restoration and other process utilities you can think of. This is actually the small downside of the Suite since Microsoft does not allow customization of the suite. But the suite is surprisingly small. Even with the variety of tools, the entire suite is less than 10mb in size.

Using the tools after installation is very straightforward. The application will provide you with shortcuts to various tools that you want to use. Most of them will run in an instant but expect other system utilities and security tools might slow down your computer a little bit. This is actually expected since you’ll be tweaking your application. Just make sure you select the right tools to avoid system crash which could happen if you tweak the wrong component in your system.

Another challenge for users when using the application is actually on familiarity with some of the tools. An experienced user or a computer technician will easily recognize of the tools and their functions but beginners will have a hard time understanding the functions since the application only provides limited details of its use.
