No. Process Explorer v17.12 does not have a built-in filter to hide all Microsoft or System processes. Its upper pane is designed to show all currently active processes. You may be thinking of Autoruns. Autoruns has a Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option, but it filters configured auto-start items—such as services and drivers—not processes that are currently running. Running processes: Process Explorer has no Microsoft-wide hide filter. Startup items, services, and drivers: use Autoruns with the hide option.
