Microsoft Vice President Scott Hanselman released gputaskman; he is also a Member of Technical Staff.

The app provides detailed GPU-use readings for individual models and processes, rather than only an overall figure.

It shows whether LLMs, browsers, desktop compositors, or renderers are using GPU memory.

GitHub offers a portable download of the app that requires no installation.

“Task Manager says ‘15 GB used.’ This tries to answer: by what? Model weights? KV cache? Your browser? The desktop compositor? And why is so much GPU memory in system RAM?”— Scott Hanselman, Microsoft engineer and creator of gputaskman, describing the questions the app aims to answer about GPU memory usage.

WSL containers became generally available on September 29, requiring WSL to be installed or updated.

From PowerShell, wslc provides familiar commands for building, starting, monitoring, and stopping containers.

A Linux virtual machine still runs underneath; isolated sessions provide separate storage for images, containers, networks, and volumes, plus Windows folder mounts.

WSL containers support OCI-compatible images and offer Windows applications an API for files, output, networking, and GPU access.
