is the processes live tab. So we've always had, or we've had a processes tab for a little while on devices. It used to be down here by, I think it was by services. So it was kind of hidden. A few things that we did. So we moved processes up to the most popular section up here. We added a new little icon on the right, right by deploy. So you can access the processes tab from here as well. So if you click here, you'll be able to see the live processes connection. So before, originally what we were doing was updating this tab every 12 hours. So as you know, processes are constantly changing on a device. So that wasn't very useful, I would imagine, for most of you. So what we did is now we're live, like updating this lively. So it's every 30 seconds. That's a pretty big, big change. That's a huge change, right? Because especially if you're trying to deal with something with processes and you're trying to start and stop a process, if you have a 12 hour delay, chances are that machine rebooted, something happened to change the state that it was in. Yes, yeah, exactly. So a few things that we did. We added this CPU percentage bar. So this will change as the CPU percentage is changing. The rows here will move up and down. So you can see this live as of every 30 seconds. That's the exchange. You can go in and end a task. And a few things that I love about this is you don't need to remote into a device anymore to look at the processes tab. You don't need to go physically grab that device either to go manage the processes. So I love this. I think it's going to be a really great new feature for everybody to use. Yeah, I actually didn't know that if you sorted it by CPU that it would dynamically go up and down. That's pretty cool. Yeah, you'll see it as things are changing on the device. Right. That's a nice little enhancement.

TL;DR

  • PDQ Connect's Processes tab has been moved to a more prominent location and given a dedicated quick-access icon, making it easier to find during troubleshooting.
  • The refresh interval has been reduced from 12 hours to every 30 seconds, enabling genuine real-time process monitoring for the first time.
  • Sysadmins can now end tasks and monitor CPU usage dynamically without remoting into or physically accessing the target device.

Summary

This short clip from PDQ highlights a significant update to the Processes tab in PDQ Connect, the company's cloud-based device management platform. Previously buried near the Services section, the Processes tab has been relocated to the most popular section of the device view and given a dedicated quick-access icon alongside the Deploy button, making it far easier to reach during active troubleshooting sessions. The most impactful change is the shift from a 12-hour polling interval to a live refresh every 30 seconds — a dramatic improvement that makes the tab genuinely useful for real-time process management. Sysadmins can now monitor CPU usage through a dynamic percentage bar, watch process rows reorder as resource consumption changes, and end tasks directly from the interface — all without needing to remote into the device or physically access the machine. For IT teams managing fleets of endpoints, this eliminates a common friction point: by the time a 12-hour snapshot updated, the device state had often already changed. The live view closes that gap and gives administrators actionable, current data when they need it most.

FAQ

How often does the Processes tab now refresh in PDQ Connect?

The Processes tab now refreshes every 30 seconds, compared to the previous 12-hour update interval, making it suitable for real-time troubleshooting.

Do I still need to remote into a device to manage its processes?

No. With the updated Processes tab in PDQ Connect, you can view live process data, monitor CPU usage, and end tasks directly from the console without remoting into or physically accessing the device.
