Microsoft heeft een nieuwe versie van de Sysinternals Suite de deur uit gedaan. Dit pakket is een verzameling handige tools waarmee systemen kunnen worden beheerd en uitgebreide informatie over de computer kan worden ingewonnen. Zo kunnen allerlei problemen worden opgespoord en verholpen. De afzonderlijke tools worden ontwikkeld door Mark Russinovich en Bryce Cogswell, in eerste instantie voor Sysinternals en tegenwoordig dus voor Microsoft. Enkele voorbeelden zijn Process Explorer, Bginfo, Contig en Diskmon. In totaal gaat het om een verzameling van 66 verschillende tools. Sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker zijn de volgende onderdelen in de Suite bijgewerkt:
