Process Explorer and Dependency Walker

Question

Dependency Walker (Depends), which can be launched via Process Explorer, no longer works well in Windows 10 as of at least build 10.0.19043 (21H1 May 2021 update). The UI can hang for several minutes while (e.g.) enumerating Notepad's dependencies.

It may be time to have Process Explorer link to an alternative. Perhaps one written by Sysinternals, or a more modern alternative (e.g. https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies).

Answer 1

You can choose the executable for dependencies
Process Explorer reads the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\exefile\shell\View Dependencies
and mainly the value
command

On my PC , I have set :

E:\Tools\System\Dependencies\DependenciesGui.exe "%1"
