How Do I See All Open Connections in Windows?

You can view all open connections in Windows using the Resource Monitor tool. This tool provides detailed information about your system's resources, including network connections.

Here's how to access it:

1. Open the Resource Monitor: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager. Click on the Performance tab, then click on Open Resource Monitor at the bottom of the window.
2. Navigate to Network Activity: In the Resource Monitor window, select the Network tab.
3. View Open Connections: The Network Activity section displays a list of active network connections. You can view details like the Local Address, Remote Address, State, and Protocol used for each connection.

Alternatively, you can use command-line tools like netstat and tasklist to view open connections.

Using netstat:

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
2. Type netstat -a -b and press Enter. This command will list all active connections and listening ports, along with the associated process names.

Using tasklist:

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
2. Type tasklist /svc and press Enter. This command will list all running processes and their associated services.

These tools can help you identify and troubleshoot network issues by providing information about the connections established by your system.
