In half of all measurements, ProcExp shows units as "K", but not correctly - not in actual kiloBytes - regardless of whether a process takes 22kB, 22MB, or 22GB it shows as "22 K" in columns like Private Bytes, WS, WS Private.

It shows units correctly in IO read bytes, IO write bytes, IO delta read bytes, etc.

It shows units correctly when I double click a process, in the "<process name, pid> Properties" window, "Performance graph" shows e.g. 17.3 GB Private Bytes - also tabs "Disk and Network" and "GPU Graph" show correctly. But both in "Performance" tab, and in the main window's process list, it shows as "18 K".

Locale is en-us, Windows language is en-us. On another laptop, also Win10 x64 en-us, it shows correctly.

The bug shows both when process is ran as a normal user or as Administrator.

    If you're referring to the columns always showing in KB then that is correct. It always has AFAIK. If you want to request a feature change to allow you to see a "formatted" value for these columns then you should request it from the author.

    If you are saying that you always see the literal value of "22K" for all processes then something is wrong with your system or install. I see the correct values for the processes that are running on my machines under which I have ProcExp running.

    @Michael Taylor - "it works for me" is not a good way to respond to a bug report. Yes, it works for me on another machine as well, but on this one it doesn't. That's why I'm asking here.

    "Something is wrong with your system" is also a very mediocre response, since literally every other piece of software works correctly. Also, if you search around, this bug has been reported by other people as well.

    I'll repeat the same thing that I said the the original post - a process that takes 18 GB - eighteen gigabytes - displays in the column as "18 K".
