The some process data are empty on Windows about sysinfo HOT 8 CLOSED

Oh I didn't know about this. I'll take a look when I get time!

from sysinfo.

Did you try running with root? I recall having issues about getting some information on windows when I wasn't root. But maybe this is just a bug...

I'll try to take a look in any way.

When started as an administrator, nothing changes.

Then it's a bug. I'm sorry but I don't have a windows 7. The code shouldn't be too complex. Do you think you could try to see what's wrong? I'll try to reproduce it on windows 10 but I'm afraid that the bug might be specific to windows 7...

I'm new to Rust, and I've never used the Windows API directly, so I'm afraid I will not be able to help much, but I'll try to look.

I think that the error is not specific for Windows 7, as the code for some functions (get_cmd_line, get_proc_env in file src/windows/process.rs) is commented out and will always return an empty string.
get_cmd_line
get_proc_env

Ah right, as you can see, getting this information costs a lot and is very unstable so I preferred to just let it go.

Perhaps it's worth using WMI with a wrapper to get the processes command line/executable path. For example: pc-manager
