Though my db syncing doesn't always work like a charm, it still gets the job done. Use the freeware version which should be super sufficient for most of the users.
Checkout other tools which are good such as Flashnote.
I use AstroGrep but it scans the drive, rather than indexing it (find vs. locate)
Nope, that was Jeffrey Snover.
Microsoft did the right thing to assimilate them, the guy behind was top notch and I remember them fondly.
Don‘t know how they evolved the last decade though.
And procexp! It's just the better task manager.
Personally, I do not understand why Microsoft does not include them by default on Windows, they are just so useful.
BTW another great diagnostics tools for Windows that I've come across is the Windows Performance Analyzer. One needed to install it separately before, not sure about that nowadays.
Legitimate remote execution in 2021 can be achieved using a range of supported options, and when I see this alert trigger in a monitored environment there's nearly always something malicious going on. The catch of course, is that you explain this to everyone and get them on board, as opposed to just doing it.

Process Monitor (ProcMon) is one of the best diagnostic tools on the planet. I’ve used it to find why my machine booted slowly (encrypted font?!), what sort of network activity is holding up an app, why my USB device was sucking at wake-from-sleep, etc.
Process Explorer (ProcExp) is amazing at inspecting processes, eg to see their environment variables, see what process integrity levels look like, find out what process has what path open (eg since Windows won’t let you delete open files), etc. It’s a good complement to Task Manager.
TCPView is great for some weird cases. I used it once to find a bad web server as I could see my http requests were failing when the load balancer sent me to a specific IP. This impressed my web developer friends who weren’t used to seeing really accessible but low level diagnostic tools.
All the memory tools are great too.
